Mine went suddenly much noisier this week from having been much less audible. You can hear it from outside the car hood down and it’s there when you rev also. Its a 45k miles 2017 b9 s4. Personally I don’t find it acceptable to have such an audible tick in a car of this calibre... no check engine lights...
how can it be normal? it wasn't there when I bought it new. Fuck Audi my Q7 is only 70000km it sucks 1 quart of oil every 3-400 km now it makes this noise.
This is the evap valve like someone said, but I will add to his statement, once it starts making noise like that, just leave that. Replacing it wont fix it but it’s fine just let it be
Thank you guys i am getting paranoid about the sound i bring mine in and actually talked to the Audi dealership since my they have worked on my timing chain he said it was normal but i still nit convinced for 59 879 miles this should not happen
Normal sounds. It's the N80 Evap valve opening and closing in order to create a vacuum. Modern engines require modern solutions to things like emissions.
I've taken a look at your video. There's no abnormal noise, just direct injection ticking away. The ticking is not known to cause any issues and there is no fix.
@@BJNeutral it seems that the noise is coming from the left side and I was worried that it was something like tensioners or timing chain. The car has only done 55k and was properly serviced by Audi. Anyways Im taking it tomorow for a proper diagnostics
Definitely not the chain. All tensioners by Audi leak. The noise associated eith tensioners is an audible rattle for 1-2 seconds upon cold start. Even if you replace the tensioners, it will happen again after some time. It is costly and serves no purpose. In your place, I would enjoy the car :)
That tick is the evap valve, perfectly normal

@@dman764 it can be a rocker arm witch is not normal
Not a defect, it is a property… mine does the same…
I have an A6 with same engine,
Sound same, Its normal, these engines has high pressure fuel pump, thats the noise.

I replaced mine and it kept doing it, I’ve done tons of research on it and the general consensus is just let it tick

It’s the check valve very normal I’ll make a vid on it if u don’t believe me
It's the HPFP, or the injectors it's normal on this engine
Seems like a pretty bad sound for such a good car. Audi said it was normal once you took it in?

I have the same sound when your does this ticking sound ? From my experience I never heard it before until yesterday thank you
Does this sound fluctuate with RPMS?
Any news? Let me know bro
N80 Evap valve. Normal noise, nothing to worry about.
Normal
this ar fucking injectors and hight presure pomp, because direct injection make difrent noise... it somthing normal for this engine.
Sounds like Injectors to me
What was the problem?
It never caused any issue and I have heard it on several 3.0 TFSI engines. I would not worry about it!
I have the same issue, can you please tell me if you have fixed it and how?

@@tizabok did you ever figure out what was causing the noise? I'm hearing a clicking noise on the passenger side too.
@@seanduque9492 it was nothing serious mate, apparently it is supposed to tick like that.
