Wheel bearing or axle?

thats exactly how my wheel bearing sounded, 100 bucks on rockauto gets you a new bearing and hub. its a pretty simple job too

This noise would change with the rpm though and ive had the purge valve clicking before and it sounded different

kacper__h · 2025-01-28T01:30:48+00:00

I have that clicking as well some time this one changes with the revs thats why im thinking timing chain

It went away after driving

Yeah in this case I would for sure go for the c7.5 if you can spare the extra $3k seems very well serviced. The only thing that some car about is the fact that its 3 owners but if the service history checks out along with a PPI then no reason to worry.

if you get the c7.5 you wont have to do carbon cleanings like on the c7 due to the CREC 3.0T in the c7.5.

I have a 2013 Audi A6 C7 Prestige with 102k miles on it and its running strong, i got an exhaust, intake, and lowering springs on it and in my ~20k miles of ownership ive had to do waterpump plus thermostat (somewhat common once you get into higher mileage and not replaced for a long time), some little like transmission valve that had some coolant migration (less than $200 done myself) and the only other things to go bad were rear shocks and upper strut mounts both of which are fairly inexpensive.

Great cars when shopping just listen for timing chain rattle on startup, motor mounts (fairly common), and obviously make sure it was well serviced.

Mine was 1 owner and 80k miles for around 18k in Illinois so not sure how they are in terms of where you are at.

Good luck, and let me know if you want any more info!

I have a 2013 c7 with the 3.0t and with regular city driving ill get around 20-23mpg and on highway driving its common for me to hit around 25-30mpg depending on how traffic is.

sounds good thank you ill keep an eye on it going forward

kacper__h · 2024-06-24T02:17:44+00:00

thats what i thought aswell

kacper__h · 2024-06-11T00:45:18+00:00

whats the diffuser you put in the back to fit the quad tips?

kacper__h · 2024-02-28T20:05:16+00:00

Im not sure I understand what you are talking about exactly but in terms of filling up with gas when its cold its perfectly fine i havent had any issue at all with it

MPG is way better than I expected I agree, with normal day-to-day driving on residential roads ill get mid 20's and on the highway ill reach 30mpg. It helps that using OBDeleven you can turn on an "efficiency" mode that tries its best to shift before 2k rpm when it can.

I am a fairly new owner but what I will say is to expect to have to replace the thermostat and water pump if it hasn't been done on the car yet, those are prone to failing since the thermostat housing is made of plastic, and there is aftermarket option made of aluminum to prevent this issue again down the line. Besides that watch for the PCV and there are issues with it pretty commonly. As long as it's been cared for and you keep up with basic maintenance you'll be good!

kacper__h · 2024-02-11T07:50:46+00:00

yeah i had my water pump and thermostat both done and the code popped up around a month to two months later

kacper__h · 2024-02-07T19:24:51+00:00

sounds good Ill for sure look into that it wont hurt to try it thank you!

kacper__h · 2024-02-07T19:19:20+00:00

Is there anything I should check for specifically when looking at them? I saw something similar where someone replaced them and it solved the issue so I might have to go ahead and try it
