I was testing the new OBD2 Scanner Tool I received today (specific to Audi's), and revved the engine to 3,000RPM (Car in Parking Position) and for a brief second, heard a sound that sounded analogous to sharpening knives. Could this have been the Rotors; my Rotors need to replaced soon.

If your in a parked position the brake rotors (if that's what you mean) are doing nothing, your engine is doing something.

Sounds like the brakes after all, strange but true, I had to put my ears in close proximity to the wheel, car was in parked position, I'll keep an eye on this for a couple of days.

jcman

You're kidding right?
The only way to know if brake rotors or pads are worn out is by checking the thickness of both when parked, ears have nothing to do with this.

Not kidding, I used my eyes this morning,
I removed the wheel and checked the rotors; they thinned out. Lots of Brake Dust as well.

This explains where there so much heat generating on both front ends as well.

You're first post in this thread has no logic or factual relevancy to the final discovery, you do speak English yes?

This thread is like some confusing sort of comedy....or something else.

Lol, I definitely understand what you mean; its the placebo effect, when you know there is some anomaly in the engine but you cover that anomaly up with something else, which in this case would be the rotors, haha. I'll check the sound further to make sure it is what it is, thanks again.

English is all I speak and breath; "Me no speak other speak; for now..."

He might have a problem with his knuden valves behind the wheel well liners. They make similar sounds.

jcman

LOL! But often mistaken by the floozy valve with no direct connection to the ferndock rods!

Naw all kidding aside, the OP seems very polite, thick skinned and possibly learning new stuff......That's a good thing.

Thanks jcman, you are correct, I have a gut feeling this Audi can live long as long as I maintain it. Its all about taking preventative measures.
