Audi 80 TDi - Odd Engine Noise - Audi_Pete
Hi,

My Audi '94 80 TDI is making a whirring noise between 2000 RPM and 2500 RPM. It will do this when the clutch is either in or out. The noise seems to be coming from the right hand side near the back of the engine (looking forward), but It's hard to tell with all the clatter.
Does anyone have any ideas, before AUDI charge me a small forture just to have look?

Cheers,
Pete

Hi Pete.

You might have a bit more joy if you post this in "Technical Issues" - that's where the knowledgable mechanics tend to hang out. Thread in Discussion has been deleted in favour of this one, this post has been moved. - Hugo

Obvious things to check are any belts under there - alternator, cambelt that sort of thing.
