Bought a 1998 Audi A4 2.8 hear noise!
Yay for me i test drove the car twice and checked it out and everything looked great. The car is silver w/ dark beige interior , miles is 65k and car seems to run great.
I had the car sitting for 3 days before i was able to get plates on it and drive it.. which was today. Now here is my only problem with the car as of now.. i heard a noise from the front. I popped the hood and its seems to be coming from the A/C Compressor or Belt/pully/tensioner. Its hard to tell w/o it up on the lift but i decided this is the problem after finding out the AC buttton was turned on.. which from i was told is normal since it helps warm the car up faster...? I turn off the AC button and the noise goes away, i am going to look into it this weekend but i wanted to know if anyone can think what it is.
I honestly think its the compressor.. which is unfortunatly the most expensive route but it sounds like it. The noise doesn't get worse when the engine is reved BTW.
Thank you for any advice
