02 A4 1.8T Q M, 61000 m stock. There is a noise in the back of the engine which has been going on for 3 months but now it is getting louder and sounds worse. It happens while I stop or even movin it appears. Sometimes if im stopped and the noise appears i press on the accelerator to about 2 1/2 grand and it eventually stops. It sounds like a tutututututuut.
Please help

CEL or anything?

Have the oil pressure checked, consider replacing the cam chain timing device.

How much for replacing the cam chain timing device?

Onkal

Took the car to an Audi dealer, found the problem which is the tensioner on the cam chain and also the cam chain needs replacing. Total cost for parts + labour $2,300.59.

But that is a lot more expensive than I would have guessed. An Audi indy shop would be cheaper.
