RS3 whirring sound
Discussion
Hi all
I’ve got a 2022 RS3 8Y Sportback which I got new that for various reasons has done the measly total of 600 miles. Each time I drive it my ears are drawn to a distinctly mechanical noise from the transmission. It’s not a whine and is only noticeable at low speeds due to the noise. The best way I can describe the noise is that it’s similar to when brake discs have surface rust on them.
It’s due for a service next month and I’ve asked it to be investigated but am slightly nervous that I’m either chasing a phantom issue which could be a new car bedding in, or an expensive issue which hasn’t fully presented itself because the car has hardly done any miles. It’s out of warranty next year so would rather get it sorted now. I’ve had Quattro Audis before and haven’t heard this noise before. My daily driver is a poverty spec Hilux too so am used to rudimentary 4x4s.
