I recently purchased a used Audi 80 and noticed that the engine makes a grinding noise when I start it up. It seems to go away after a few minutes but I'm worried that it's a sign of a bigger problem. Can someone advise me on what could be causing this and if it's something I should be concerned about?
ReplyIt's possible that the noise is coming from a loose or damaged belt. I would recommend having a mechanic take a look and replace any belts if necessary. It's better to address the issue now rather than risk it causing more damage in the future.
The grinding noise could also be caused by low oil levels or dirty oil. Make sure to check your oil regularly and get an oil change if needed. If the noise persists, it's best to have a professional mechanic inspect the engine.
I had a similar issue with my Audi 80 and it turned out to be a faulty alternator. It's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix, so it's worth having it checked out.
