Solved - bad belt

As you suspected, the extra 'chatter' noise was from a faulty belt.

I very narrowly averted disaster during the four hour river trip here. Only in checking for the size of the belt (so I would...

Thanks all!

While not 100% convinced I have solved this, I do have a major discovery. In looking for the information printed on the belt, I noticed a big crack/tear on the inside radius. (Yes, I...

Pump Belt 'Chatter'?

Greetings all;

I don't see a mention of this in the archives, maybe someone has seen (heard) this before. I have an odd sound coming from the water intake side, maybe noise from the water pump...

Needed to hear that

Mo, Laker;

Thanks for the replies.

No shaft turn, but good thought. And I agree, even in 'neutral' you can get that tiny bit of rotation based on where you leave the shift.

I needed to...

Post-winterize, growl/grinding noise

Greetings;

After the 3rd trouble-free season for the A4 (thank you all x10), I finished my winterizing. In literally the last second of A4 use I had a questionable moment because of a weird growl...

DVD - please do update this post when you sort it out. I'm very curious about what you discover - AND how it is resolved.

I'm betting somewhere in the thermostat. I have only a small amount of...

Hi;

Yes, I should have been a bit more specific. As you guessed, it is a gate rather than ball. It's been there probably since the build.

I could probably switch to a ball to reduce the...

A Way To Avoid Stuck Head Bolts?

Not really preventative maintenance, but more alleviating some inevitable pain.

At some point I will need to replace the head gasket. No problems now, but I'm sure that with enough time,...

Agree with Tim's excellent post.

(And that little wire off the negative of the coil is easy to overlook, but don't)

Please do provide an update to this one when you sort it out.

Coil or...?

I'm curious about this one too.

Two questions about conditions:

1) Do you have this problem after running only 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Or is it always after running for 30 minutes?

I...

I vote with Baltimore

Tim,

I started on the plug wires too, but since it runs fine once warmed up I agree it sounds like a mix issue.

How nice is that? No need for a parts run!

Heh, I had not heard that one, but I have imagined being on the receiving end of that scenario.

Who is close to this guy?

Is nobody close enough to this guy to help out for an hour? Sounds like it could be a simple fix to get him going - at least to get him into the slip.

Clogged jet

That's my vote.

It ran, so you know the problem is not electrical in any way - battery to plugs worked for a while at least.

It will run if you bypass the carb - via the starting fluid - so you...
