Default New A4 2.0 Engine Rattle Noise??

I picked up my new A4 on Saturday, and I notice a rattle-like noise when I ease up on the gas after accelerating. Any ideas what this could be? This is my first turbo, so I am wondering if it has s/thing to do with it.

BTW: It's an awesome car!!! Ocean Blue, Special Edition, S-Line, Convenience... I really like the 19' wheels that come w/ the s-line, and the car sits really low with the sport suspension! Pics soon!!

Default The engine gets quieter with age....

...that or I just don't notice it anymore! ;-)

Seriously, I took a loaner out a few days ago, new S-Line automatic with 3000 on the clock and the engine was noticeably louder than my 06 with 40K on the clock...

Give it time..

Cheers,

Nick

Default Glad you like it!

Is this your first Audi? If so, welcome to the clan...If not, welcome anyway! Any plans to modifier her a little?
