What causes the flywheel noise in Audi A3?
1 Answers
Audi A3 flywheel noise causes: 1. Analysis of engine noise characteristics: Engine noises are often related to engine speed, load, temperature, and working cycle. By analyzing the characteristics of the noise, its variation pattern can be identified. 2. The relationship between noise and engine speed: The presence of most common engine noises depends on the engine's speed state. Noises only exist at idle or low speeds. Possible causes include: Excessive clearance between piston and cylinder wall; 3. Piston pin installed too tightly or connecting rod bearing installed too tightly; Excessive clearance between tappet and its guide hole; Wear of camshaft profile; Sometimes, a loose starter clutch causes pulley noise (more noticeable during speed changes). When maintaining a certain speed, the noise becomes chaotic, and short noises are emitted successively during rapid deceleration. Possible causes include: Cracked camshaft timing gear or loose fixing nut; Broken crankshaft; Loose piston pin bushing; Excessive axial clearance of camshaft or loose camshaft bushing.
