Default Thrilling between 30-70 kms/hour...an expert drove the car. He says it is engine management!!??

After long fighting with thrilling issues, did the hunter balancing and wheel alignment and the high speed one is gone.
What remains is the low speed one 30-70 kms/hour. An expert drove it and said that is linked with the factory CO2 emission settings. The engine management cuts fuel. I could believe him, however, why does it happen even when decelerating (no throttle)?

Any idea?

Default You mean trilling? Like bird sounds?

I had a hmmm hmmm hmmm sound, like a bad wheel bearing, coming from my LF wheel while I was under warranty. Audi could not replicate the problem. Three months after my warranty was up the wheel became loose enough that I could show the looseness to the service manager in the parking lot. Audi agreed to pay for a repair and the noise is now gone.

Default aiee...sell the car sell the car!!!

Say it really is the drive shaft or all the wheel bearings. Is it really worth spending all that money on a car that is bound to break down again?
