Problem with 2014 Q5 TDI S-Line!
Need help with a problem I'm having with a brand new 2014 Q5 TDI S-Line. Car has less than 1200 miles. Dealership already had to replace an AdBlue pump because it wasn't working. When I received the car back, I noticed that every time I come to a stop, I hear fluids swishing around. The dealership doesn't know what the issue is, and I never heard it prior to the pump replacement or when I was test driving other TDI models. There is no reason for fluids to be low. Any thoughts on what it could be? There appears to be baffles in the tank to prevent such a noise. Is there something else people are aware of? I am desperate for answers!

I can try to record the sound. It's definitely very subtle, but I hear it every time I come to a stop. I haven't checked the spare tire well but will do that. The noise is definitely coming from the rear of the car. The dealership said the AsBlue reservoir is under the rear seats. It seems to be coming from further back than that, but I haven't pin pointed it at all.
I never heard the noise until the dealership replaced the AdBlue pump. They said they didn't remove the tank. With only 1200 miles on this car (60 miles since the pump was replaced), this car should be purring like a kitten.

Definitely not the turbo. This noise wasn't there prior to the dealership replacing the AdBlue pump (the additive that makes diesel burn clean). They're stumped. Thank you to all for your comments. Keep them coming if you have ideas! I'll try to get a recording tonight.
