Default Small engine problem

I have a howling/whining-sound from the engine at ~2600 rpm when the engine is cold. The sound lasts for about ½-1 minute, then its gone. Otherwise everythings fine with the car..so far..

Anyone else having the same problem as me?


The Audidealer tells me that this is a known problem (according to Audi in Germany) and at this point Audi don't have any plans to solv it.(!!??)

Default Its the Air Induction pump....

Problem, probably not. When it warms up it makes that noise. Its louder and longer the colder it is.

The way it sounds it feels really strange to believe that it should be that way...especially since it's not always there..

JD's probably right... Had other cars doing that and it was the secondary air pump for emissions.

Default Nice. I see the Swedish get black alcantara.

What part of Sweden are you from? I got to travel to Gothenburg on business one year. It was winter with too much rain and cold...I had heard from some of my co-workers that summer is a much nicer time to visit.
