In that case, I would edit the Title quick!!
It was only a few months ago 1 member was convicted racing an RS4, hit the papers too as he also filmed it!

How ridiculous. And I've smoked weed. Arrest me!

Another possibility is it could be the turbo went into overboost, the engine makes some really strange noises (boost is cut off and the dv opens) but it should clear when the ignition is switched off.

Was hoping this was the problem but still making the noise when i hit about 50mph!!!

Taking it to the stealers tomorrow so will let you know!! Cheers for all the advise
