yeah axel. Boooooo
I’m at work lol.
I don’t know where the noise is coming from seeing as the only way I can make the noise occur is by driving it and when I’m in the driver’s seat, it just makes a sound with no clear indication of where it’s coming from.
I seriously don’t think it has anything to do with the brakes though. I have a lot of experience with brakes and I’ve never heard brakes make a noise like this. I’m thinking more something that might be flexing due to load from a dead stop. The second the car is moving, it stops and doesn’t do it until the next time I start moving from a dead stop.
I wonder if it’s related to the clutch.
Easiest way to test that would be to clutch disengaged and let it roll on a hill. Then try rolling with it in neutral and clutch engaged.
Unless you mean it’s only making that noise during the actual engagement?
That test wouldn’t work. No load. Gravity wouldn’t be enough of a load to cause the noise.
Well if it was clutch it would probably make it at every gear change.
I feel like you would be able to tell where it is coming from if you open all the windows.
Can you make a quick video of the noise on your way home from work?
Worst ‘help me’ thread ever
Can you lay in front of the car and have a friend or girlfriend drive it over you…try to ignore the pain and listen closely for the sound.
Noise could be wheel bearing, clutch, possible drive belt, though I doubt it’s the belt. Maybe a tech could verify if this car can be put on a lift either asym, or symetrical lift, and with the suspension unloaded, fire up the car and replicate the condition/engage the clutch. then have a tech pin point the origin of the noise. this will be the quickest way to find it.
Are you feeling any shudder when taking off?
It’s a racing clutch. There’s usually some chatter which can feel like shudder.
I’ll get my mechanic to check it out when I go there for my next oil change which is coming up soon.
I reckon it will just disappear.
Get your girlfriend or friend to start the car from a stop while you stand or walk beside it. See if you can locate it. Do it in an underground garage so you don’t freeze to death.
My gf doesn’t drive my car since I’ve put the Stage 4 clutch and now the 5R 
Maybe I can get one of you guys to listen at the next Audi meet lol
Let’s just do a mini-meet.
I’m down. Who’s bringing the portable heaters?
won’t need any. It will be around 0 by the weekend. Will feel like t-shirt weather!
We can get some HD video of some launches and stuff too.
I guess I’d be in as well. I might have to work from 8pm to 1pm Saturday to Sunday though so maybe around 11am or so. Will need to take a nap from 4-6pm if I do have to go into work for 8pm.
Shudder can be an indication of a driveshaft on the way out. Another thing to have a look at when your mechanic has it on the lift.
Or you can just launch it and see what happens :). I swear my Stage lll feels better after a launch every couple of months.
I was trying to say I have no shudder. I have some chatter once in a while if I’m not super careful which can sometimes feel like shudder but it’s just the 6-puck clutch doing it’s grabby thing.
