A4DANE

For the past 2-3 days my car has been behaving oddly. When I start the engine, the steering column and clutch pedal vibrates, and the engine sound is not nice. I will bring it to the dealer, but I am curious to hear if anyone has had the same symptoms.

I sincerely hope this is not anything major, I have just about had it with this car. I had the transmission "no reverse" issue, and a list of 10+ minor issues.

whats the engine sound like?

Or a cylinder that doesn't fire probably. Its kind of hard to describe, but it doesn't sound right

Im trying to figure out whats going on. Without hearing it, its kinda hard.

A4DANE

its not supposed to.

too good to be true

or something. Really sounds weird. The noise stays for a long while after the car is all warmed up. Can't describe the noise...more like there's pressure on the steering column when I try to turn the wheel.

I gotta have the dealer check it out. I swear the noise wasn't there before. (Ps- it's especially noticeable when I start the car in the morning.)

aka are you only getting it out of one of the banks. It it was a valve you normally get a loud clicking noise. Im tryint to think of what else it could be

I hope not, but like I told Machtig, I'd rather think the worst and have it come back a minor adjustment than the reverse. Whats the build date, if you have had the other problems you might be in the 1200 engine group as well.
