Weird Noises that Mean It’s Time to See Your Audi Repair Specialist

Audis are beautiful machines with unique personalities. When you take your time to understand your Audi, you can diagnose many of its repair issues just by listening to its sound. However, it’s always best to get an expert opinion from a trusted Audi repair specialist. 

A worn-out timing belt, ignition system failure, and defective fuel delivery system are some of Audis’ most common sources of strange engine noise. Heavily contaminated and degraded motor oil may also be responsible for weird engine noise in your vehicle. 

Here are a few strange sounds you should look out for in your Audi and when to take your vehicle to an Audi repair specialist. Call us to book yours in for service!

A Sudden Loud Sound Like a Rifle Shot

Your car’s exhaust can make a bang like a rifle shot due to backfiring. This is often the result of too rich air/fuel mixture. It could be triggered by a bad ignition switch or old, dirty spark plugs. You might also have a damaged catalytic converter that doesn’t get proper airflow. 

Lack of airflow could cause back pressure, leading to overheating, less engine power, and poor fuel economy for your Audi. If the banging sound came out only once and was followed by a surge of power, it could be a clogged monolithic converter that fixed itself for now. However, it will still need more attention in the future. 

A loose or damaged exhaust system may also cause hissing, rattling, or popping noises. Take your car to an Audi repair specialist to have a better look and recommend the appropriate solution.

Chirping Sound Like that Of Birds

If your car’s engine suddenly sounds like you have a flock of birds underneath the hood, you are likely looking at a belt problem. Fortunately, serpentine belt repair is one of the simplest Audi maintenance problems to deal with. But don’t let it go for long, or you may find yourself stranded on the roadside. Have an experienced Audi repair specialist look at it and replace the belt when needed.

A Metal-on-Metal Grinding Sound

If your Audi starts sounding like a dentist drill whenever you hit the brakes, make sure you take it to an Audi repair specialist right away. You’re probably dealing with a brake problem. The longer you put it off, the more money it will cost you down the road. Putting this repair off for too long will likely result in the brake pads eating into the rotors. As a result, a simple repair job will get complicated and run into hundreds of dollars.

If you hear a sound that just doesn’t go away, it’s best to stop in at a trusted Audi auto repair shop to be sure. A skilled Audi repair specialist can give your car a top-to-bottom inspection. Besides checking the unusual noise coming from your vehicle, they will inspect any other potential mechanical issues with your car. 

Other common problems that may result in metal grinding metal noises include:

• Worn or damaged suspension components
• Faulty wheel bearings
• Brake problems
• Transmission issues
• Engine problems
