2000 audi a4 low erratic humming noise

My 2000 audi a4 is making a erratic humming noise when in park and drive. It started making this noise after I had driven my car in low gear on a windy mountain road. When the car is in park i press the gas and as the car is winding up it makes the erratic noise, when I let go of the gas and it comes back down to idle it sound like it wants to back fire. I have checked all the coil packs and they are working fine. Is this a transmission problem?

    I have the same problem with my 2005 Audi A4 3.0. As soon as the car is started the noise starts - it's a high pitched sound.

    The same thing happened with my 2005 audi A4 1.8l. I have been told it is the fuel pump, but when mine was replaced, it continued to make that noise. Still have no idea what is wrong.

Could be a transmission issue. Did you hit any objects while driving ? Have you performed a visual inspection under your vehicle ? Have you checked to see if you have any loose vacuum hoses ? Any codes in your engine control module or transmission control module ?

SOURCE: I have a 1998 Audi A4. My central lock stopped working

The humming is the central lock vacuum pump running..You either have a leak in one of the lines, or one of the hoses has popped off

It's the wheel bearing. Guaranteed. Just replaced mine. Go to Audiworld tech articles for step by step instructions on how to test the wheel bearings. They must have been put in wrong last time or they just went out again.

Silly question: Have you checked the transmission fluid level, and is it to manufacturer's spec?

I have no gears on my audi a4 1.8t auto, it has a

Definitely mechanical. The grinding noise when put into park suggests that you have a bad final drive part. Are both front axles still bolted to their yokes? There's a really common issue with axles in VW/Audi cars.

1998 audi a4 transmission engaged when depressing brake

You have two problems. First you probably have a bad brake master cylinder, or a severe brake fluid leakage somewhere. Second forcing it into park damaged your transmission.

2000 Audi A4 quattro with abrupt gear shifting & low oil pressure

I hope that you had the proper weight oil installed, at your oil change. If your oil is up to the proper level, and it's rattling ,this is VERY bad. White smoke usually means steam in the exhaust, and that means a blown head gasket. Check your coolant level. I wouldn't drive it anymore......until someone knowledgeable can diagnose it!!!!!

JACK THE WHEEL UP AND MOVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE LOOKING FOR EXCESSIVE PLAY AND SPIN THE WHEEL CHECKING FOR ROUGHNESS OR TIGHTNESS IF YOU HAVE THIS ITS THE WHEEL BEARING.....IF IT IS MORE LIKE A CLICKING OR KNOCKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING IT WILL BE A CV JOINT.TO TEST, DRIVE AT SLOW SPEED ON FULL LOCK AND YOU WILL HEAR IT.....IF THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE IT WILL BE ONE OF THE PULLEYS,(TENSIONER OR WATER PUMP) BUT IF IT IS THAT, YOU SHOULD STILL HEAR THE NOISE WHEN YOUR STOPPED (REV THE ENGINE A LITTLE) AND IF THERE IS NO NOISE ITS NOT COMING FROM YOUR ENGINE THEN......HOPE I WAS OF SOME HELP TO YOU..HAVE A NICE DAY.!!!!

Hi, Irratic revs when idle

You need to reset the throttle body. Sometimes you can do this by going out to your car and turning the key to the "on" position. Don't crank the engine - just turn it to on. Let it sit like this for 15 min. Your throttle body shoulld reset. Good luck. Check out audiforums. c o m or audiworld for audi spec issues. Good luck!

Suspension

What kind of noise? Is it a humming noise that gets louder as the road speed increases? If so, it's a wheel bearing - A4s eat wheel bearings like popcorn.
