What causes the abnormal noise when accelerating an Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5 acceleration abnormal noise causes are as follows: 1. Engine abnormal noise: There are many possible causes for abnormal noises from the engine compartment. Most people identify it as engine compartment noise based on the sound source, usually manifesting as metallic screeching or wind-whistling noises. Requires inspection at an automotive repair center. 2. Transmission abnormal noise: If there's a "sandy" sound from the transmission while driving, which disappears when depressing the clutch or accelerator, accompanied by whistle-like sounds during gear shifts. Requires professional workshop inspection and replacement of faulty components.
I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years, and acceleration noises are quite common. The sound could be from a loose engine belt, causing a humming noise—check the tension or replace it. If it's a transmission issue, you might hear a clicking sound during acceleration, especially in CVT models, possibly due to low oil or a clogged filter. A hissing sound could indicate an exhaust leak, while a clunking noise might point to worn suspension ball joints. It could also be a loose intake pipe or improperly installed air filter. I recommend not delaying; find a quiet stretch of road to test acceleration and pinpoint the noise source. For example, low-speed startup noises often stem from the drivetrain, while high-speed acceleration noises may come from the engine or bearings. It's best to visit a professional shop promptly—they can use a stethoscope to locate the issue, as small problems can escalate if ignored. Regular maintenance, including belt and drivetrain checks, can prevent such issues.
