I      I approve of all the imagination and ingenuity shown in previous
replies, but I think the simplest solution is a pair of 12" extensions and
perhaps a universal joint. I have done it that way several times. No danger
of trapping your arm and no hacksawing ratchets.

Subject: Sound is cross between whine and growl

I should take this into someone and have it looked at, but that will
have to wait as  my husband is out of work and I am going to see how
good people's ear is over the internet.   ;-)

It sounds sort of like a cross between a whine and a growl.   But it
is not a grind like a CV joint.

The sound comes from the front of the car.   Could be engine or drive
train, but it is not a wheel bearing or
CV joint, as I am pretty sure I recognize those from having bad ones before.

It *seems* higher up than the axel.

It changes with rpm of the engine and also seems to with load placed
on the drive train.
If I run the car in second gear, and then shift to D it definitely
changes pitch.

(I bet someone with a musical ear is going to ask whether it becomes
higher or lower.)

My husband thinks it's the turbo charger.

At first I thought it was in the engine, but today am starting to
wonder if it is in the front, what used to be termed
rear-end (in the back).   Differential ?

It is louder when cold.

Would someone give me some guesses as to what it might be?   Thanks so much
!

My '89 80q with a 4-cyl 3A engine has got a loud ticking when I
accelerate with cold engine, it goes mostly away when the engine warms
up. It sounds just like an exhaust lead at the manifold. What is the
most common cause for this on 4-cylinder engines, and what do I do to
fix it?

I'm looking for a set of A6 2.7t 5 spoke (16") wheels. I'm going to use this
for my winter wheels.

Anyone know where I can find a set in excellent condition?

Thanks!

Most likely you have some loose exh. manifold nuts, check them all and
tighten.
