Audi A4 quattro deep rumble
Discussion
The car has had this issue since i bought it 7 months ago and to be honest its just starting to get on my nerves a little bit so i thought i would see if anyone had experienced similar issues.
The car is a 2.5 TDi V6 Quattro B5 shape with 164,000 miles and the engine was replaced a year back just before i bought it with a 110,000 mile unit (i have receipts and paperwork for it)
The car has been remapped but im not sure this would have anything to do with it unless its a clutch issue (it has an uprated clutch fitted)
The issue is that when in 6th gear in fairly low revs (say about 2.5k) if you come to a hill and have to put your foot down to climb or if you put your foot down on motorway etc there is a deep rumble but i can work out what it is, there is no rev change to indicate the clutch slipping nor is there any sort of drop in power.
The problem is not apparent in 5th from what i have noticed but i would have to test that.
The car is perfect to drive other than this and i just can sus out what it could be.....i was thinking the rear diff was on the way and the torque from the remap is killing it or possibly the gearbox but is this likley??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
