bawbag Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 1. Car developed a whining droning noise two weeks ago overnight , I can hear it over the radio . Doesn't go away when slipping clutch, braking . I even turned engine off on long straight and noise still there (i know dangerous ), guess this eliminates engine , exhaust , brakes , gearbox , leaving only things that still go round that haven't been eliminated , wheel bearings , (car 2005 45 K miles - would hope not , but oesn't have rumble of bearing noise ) or diff/drive shafts . any ideas ?????? 2. Guess Im heading for had a west falia swan neck towbar fitted by indespension , parking sensors worked fine when tested at indespension and back at office after fit , next day system was tripping out with yellow fault light in switch , took back indespsion, who checked out and said all connected fine , but one sensor not working (you can hear them click if working if you listen very close - one certainly wasnt ), so back to audi (under warranty ) , first contact they say , prob intereference from where supply has been taken from , any ideas ???????, To make matters worse I fekkin hit a big rock in a car park in the dark that I hadnt seen !!!!!! - no sensors !!!!!!!!!, any ideas on where you get chrome only surround for c6 front grill !!! Lucky white heather anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bawbag Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 follow up. Wheel bearing was going - replacing today under warranty - only 48k miles ! , never changed a wheel bearing on rovers over last 20 years and 150 k plus miles on each before I was finished . Parking sensors where faulty - being replaced today under warranty . only the scratched bodywork left to do (yup audi scratched it ) and my boo boo , front grill i damaged when sensors werent working ! any ideas on sourcing new grill , audi parts dept seems a closed shop and reluctant to give part nos (for me to source equivalent ) .

Cockney Boy Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Get the grille from eBay.de there are loads and you may get a bargain too. I have no problems in getting part numbers from my garage. But I will call them tomorrow but there are a few to choose from. If you can tell me if yours is grey, black etc that will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
