J-B Weld 8276 KwikWeld Quick Setting Steel Reinforced Epoxy - 2 oz.
by J-B Weld
2006 A4 B7 Quattro 2.0L with a weird knocking noise upon cold start-up.
With the recent cold temperatures my B7 developed a new knocking noise. It never came up when temperatures were higher, in the 60's and up, but would intensify when it got really cold out. After driving for a bit and bringing the engine to normal operating temps the sound goes away. It looks like it is coming from the brake booster vacuum pump located on the back of the head near the fire wall. There is a hose that attaches to a plastic flange and leads to the brake booster. It looks as if the plastic piece vibrates during a cold start making a knocking sound. Oddly this does not happen when it's nice out, like today - 60F. Below is a photo:

    0:35 it wasn’t idling high, that’s a cold start cycle. It revs a bit over idle to warm up quicker for about 60 seconds

    Big thanks to you and the Audizine forum. Guys like you think outside of the box! I get what you mean about "the real fix is buying a new vacuum pump", but I hate this mentality. Buying a new part is only a temporary fix as the new one is going to be faulty also. I took my vacuum pump out to do this BTW, I have to service the bank 2 cam anyway. This reminds me of the trunk latch fix I did, and seeing people talk about how they're on their 4th trunk latch.

    Minneapolis reporting in; yeah, after the deep freeze in January, I had the same issue. I was also getting oil leaking out of the vacuum pump so I replaced the whole thing. I saw online that the newer models of the pump actually address the leaking issue, so it was worth the time/effort. It actually wasn't awful (granted I had replaced the oil filter housing a month beforehand which took 8 hours so my concept of "not awful" might be skewed). I also noticed my brakes stopped squealing afterward. Not sure if it was related or if the squealing I'd heard was actually coming from the pump.

    Eventually the o-ring will go again, and jb weld isn't the best at making air tight seals and holding them. So when it blows again it will leak passed the jb weld but now you can'treplace the o-ring like you did last time. Instead next time you do the o-ring make sure they use a genuine audi o-ring if you can get the right one. No o-ring will last forever, don't glue it together to try hide the problem.

    Hey, curious how your fix is holding up? Also for people who think it’s the cam chain tensioner you can easily tell the difference if it is this as it will be visibly moving up and down when running on cold start and if you hold it down with a finger even lightly it goes away.

I love KZread I'm a proud mechanic but I will admit I have checked KZread for information on problems before while there is great advice to be had there is more disinformation than good and if you are not that well educated in vehicle repair it can lead you in the wrong direction ..I'm not saying this is the case here that is clearly a problem but is it the problem nobody knows because there was no after results.

    Vacuum line leaks might be the cheapest easiest fix in auto repairs. In your case, a new O ring may have worked as they shrink and decay over time. The quick cure JB Weld will be easier to remove if you need to replace pump later. All this remote diagnosis and you didn't have to wait hours on hold to India. Peace

Someone JB the hoes going into the pump but not the end as shown in your video. My question is does the pump ever stop making the sound? I do have a use one that I need to get a new o ring for. I know its not the motor or the timing chain area. Will get a stethoscope to pinpoint the sound tomorrow
