Howling/grinding noise coming from engine area of B7 S4
Has anyone experienced this before? Shortly after my 5K service I noticed a slight howling noise coming from engine area. It appears to be temperature independent and is loudest right after starting the engine (for about 5 sec), then gets quieter but never fully disappears. I can also feel a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Initially I thought it was normal but it seems to be getting louder every day. Oil levels are fine.
Since we share the same engine (and everything else under the hood) I was wondering whether anybody has experienced this before and can help me diagnose the problem.

No....
You could do either route. I just went ahead and got my self a bottle of Pentosin hydraulic fluid and filled it up myeslf every once in a while. Beats taking time off to run by the Dealership.
