DV problem

Sorry if this is repetitive, but I'm pretty new here.

I've had my 2000 TTQ for a little over a week and I've noticed a springy noise when I take my foot off the accelerator. Is this the DV problem?

On a somewhat related note, I also hear a faint but noticable high-pitched whistling sound when I accelerate; I can only hear it with the windows open. I was thinking its normal turbo sound, but I'd feel better having someone here confirm this.

thanks,
n8wood

Springy rattle sound on decel between 3000-2000 rpms = DV blown in 180s. Warranty!

The whistling sound is normal, but the other problem may be DV related...

This is normal.. the noise you're hearing is the valve doing its job

I don't think "the springy sound" on decel is the valve doing its job....AoA TBS issued...

describing this noise on the 180s as a failed DV.

Agree...

I'm on DV #3. That's a pretty classic description of a failed DV on a 180. Have the dealer check it at your next service, they'll most likely replace it.

And, yes...DV #4 will not come from Audi :-)
