Recently, the A3 has developed a noise at start up. The noise can be described as follows:
Grant about 1-2 seconds after ignition. Duration of the grunt is less than a second. The fault is also intermittend. Grant sounds like a worn belt.
Is anyone familiar with this type of fault?
I am suspecting a belt that is not at the correct tension or in a perished state.
At what interval are the belts due for change on the service plan. Timing belt and so forth. Does anyone have experience with the belts and at what kilomater reading was the A3 at?
I would appreciate a responce.
