    Hesitation

    Hi all,

    Went for a spin today and noticed a whining sound and occasionally ticking sound coming from around the rear wheel area, not constant, but for little periods.
    Sometimes suddenly louder.
    Noticed also on full throttle a huge hesitation, couldnt get more than 3000 rpm, gearchanges are smooth, but couldnt reach kickdown.
    Didnt had a Phone with me to record the sound.

    Looks like fuelpump?, cos of the area the whining is coming from, and the hesitation?
    Dont know the above is typical for fuelpump faillure...?

    I haven't had one go on the RS6 yet either but from your description of the Hesitation and noise together it sounds likely.

    Started to take out the fuel filter, but cant get the number 3 out cos the nut on the other side is turning along with the bold and hits what i think is a drc pipe, tried some wd40 on it...
    The space im working in wont help either...and dont like to work underneath with just my head.
    Looks like the filter(Bosch) has never been replaced.

    Unfortunately the new fuelfilter didnt solve it, still making odd noises from the rear wheel area now and then.
    So next step would be one of the fuelpumps... no DIY im afraid...
    Will the fuelpump throw up codes? beside the starvation of fuel to the engine on full throttle?

    Pressure test the car firsts. Fuel starvation might throw a code something like maximum pressure exceeded, do you have any codes? After 3k Rpms does it feel like the car hits a wall just gives up accelerating?

    My car had severe hesistation out of no where. Drove 100% perfect before. The secondary external fuel pump shit the bed. Car would barely run though. Swapped out to a Bosch 044 and all is well now.

    Could a bad external fuel pump make the inner fuelpump noisey?
