Hello,
I just purchased a 1999 Audi A6 Quattro 2.8 in June and I had some work done to it; I replaced the water pump, pulleys and cam gasket seal amongst other things. Just recently I heard a very loud noise coming from the engine. The weather was very cold so I let the car warm up for about 10 minutes and the noise seem to get quieter. It’s like that every morning and it sounds like it is getting worse. I took the car to a local mechanic and was told I needed a new engine but then a friend of mine (who is male) took it to a different mechanic and they said it did not sound like it was the engine. Now I am confused and don’t know if the first mechanic was trying to rip me off because I am a female and know nothing about cars or if I do indeed need a new engine.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions!
Thank you,
