Audi Engine Bay Noises

Diagnosing the Unusual Engine Sound from the Audi A3

Our client came to our workshop in their Audi A3. From the offset, our technicians detected the issue and began resolving the engine bay noise right away. Thanks to their years of experience handling unusual engine bay noises, our technicians have come across this problem many times before.

Our quick observations soon meant that the problem was examined and isolated right away. The problem came from the timing chain/auxiliary belt housed in the engine. The technician got the vehicle into a safe position and securely removed the auxiliary belt. The vehicle engine was switched on to confirm the problem with the belt, and without the auxiliary belt attached to the engine, the noise was gone. Therefore the auxiliary components attached to the engine needed to be addressed.

Diving deeper into the issue, the technician confirmed that the idle roller, AC compressor, and auxiliary belt tensioner were all working as they should. Therefore the issue lay within the water pump.

This confirmed the technician’s initial thoughts as to what was wrong with the customer’s Audi A3.

   

Fixing the Issue

Once the technician confirmed that the fault was coming from the water pump and the auxiliary belt area, they began working on fixing it.

The technician noticed a coolant leak as they removed the water pump from the engine. It was a good job that the client visited us when they did. Leaving the issue any longer would have resulted in significant engine damage from an overheating engine, which would have been a very expensive repair.

As both parts were damaged, the next step was to replace the water pump and auxiliary belt. Only using genuine Audi-recommended or high-quality alternative parts for our repairs, we help provide Audi owners with peace of mind when they come to us for repairs, as we ensure no corners are cut during our work. Saving even more time for our client, our technician pre-ordered the parts as soon as they suspected the issue.

The new water pump and auxiliary belt were fitted, and the coolant was renewed to complete the fix. This meant that there were no more strange noises coming from the Audi A3 engine bay!
