Default Rattling sound on take off ... anyone else have this? help please!!

When my car's still a little cold I hear this wierd sound while I'm accelerating. The best way I can describe it is it sounds like a piece of paper stuck in an electric fan.

The dealer said that the sound was normal and that some A4's make that sound. I'm just a little worried and was wondering if anyone else out there has this too. Any info would help. Thanks.

Default Where is the sound coming from? engine or interior?

...i.e. the center console.

It seems to be coming fromt he engine. Its definately not something from the interior. My A4 is a front wheel drive btw. I'm hoping there's nothing wrong with my turbo.

I have your fix, remove the King of Spades card that is duct-taped to your control arm =)
