Weird ticking noise above 2000rpm at low-medium throttle

it’s hard to do that in your garage/driveway…these cars are so fucking loud. A bit embarrassing.

Yeah I know. A catless S4 holding steady 2500rpm makes a ton of noise. And then the thunder when you let off the throttle

Anyone have any ideas as to what exactly it could be? Driving to sowo next week…yikes

Wheres the sound coming from on the engine? Hard to tell on video.

It sounds like it’s coming from right between the firewall and engine. So top portion of the trans area. I’m going to get it up on ramps today and do the same thing.

Make sure your DPs are properly secured and aren’t touching anything causing a ticking/tapping. Its a long shot, i know, but something to check while on ramps.

Joe, you should’ve mentioned this when we met the other day. My ears are particularly good. :slight_smile:

I actually think it might have went away. I can’t hear it anymore. Nothing in vag com besides my massive list of short to ground codes from an issue I’ve been hunting down and can’t find for a solid year now

Friggen B5er ;D
