I Have a 03 3.0 a4 quattro. its about 94k right now and had the timing belt done around 90k. not always but off and on between 3-4 rpms it will make a mild grinding noise from inside the car, for shifting the pedal now is not as far to push in to change gears and i do not accelerate no wear near as fast as i use too.uphill accel. is terrible. any ideas?? i was thinking it could be the spark plugs maybe as the noise i hear from the engine does it very quick each morning i start the car and sounds to me like it can be in ignition. but would that effect my clutch too?
