noise after replacing serpentine belt
So,
I had my serpentine belt replaced last weekend on the 4.2 at 106,000 miles. i didnt take it to an audi stealership but did go to a Audi mechanic. After a couple days, i noticed a humming noise coming from under the hood. The car doesnt vibrate, doesnt have rough idle, doesnt make any grinding noises, and the humming noise goes away when in park or idle. Only time i hear humming is when i accelerate in speed. I do live in michigan and its been 10 degrees all week.
I am assuming the belt is on too tight? I have no clue other than that.

Regardless, try the belt first, but just wanted to throw another option out there.

I have the P245/40/ZR18 size which are low profiled. Rated over pirelli all season tires. Im not sure where you live, but in michigan weve had 8+ inches of snow at a time, and they are beasts. I never slipped once, as pick ups and jeeps were spinning out around me. The wear is good also, my rear ones have been on for 40,000 miles and still look new. But because of Michigan terrible roads, and pot holes the size of craters, these low pros pop easy and get bumbpy, but thats to be expected with all low profile tires ofcourse. Also they make barely any noise, cabin is still very quite.

Ok great to hear that you seem to like them. I'm getting a set of new car take-offs that have about 200 miles on them. The person wanted to run dedicated summer/winter setup. Which I've ran as well. But I couldn't say no to the deal I'm getting on the tires and figured that I could always use them as my 'winter' set if need be. Mind you, I live in Seattle and our winter consists of 5% sunshine, 50% light rain/drizzle, 40% heavy rain, 3% torrential downpours, 2% snow.
