How to fix a high-pitched noise coming from the engine of my Audi A2?

I recently noticed a high-pitched noise coming from the engine of my Audi A2. It seems to get louder when I accelerate. What could be causing this and is it something I need to get fixed as soon as possible?

Hi Alexandra, thank you for your question. This high-pitched noise could be a sign of a worn serpentine belt or a faulty tensioner pulley. If left unchecked, it could lead to bigger issues down the road. It is recommended to have a professional mechanic take a look at it and replace any worn parts.

Hey Alexandra, I had a similar issue with my Audi A2. It turned out to be a loose or rusted exhaust heat shield causing the high-pitched noise. You may want to have it checked and tightened or replaced if necessary. It's not a major issue, but it can be annoying and could potentially lead to more damage if left unattended.

Hi there Alexandra, I had the same problem with my A2. Turns out it was a loose alternator belt causing the high-pitched noise. It's an easy and inexpensive fix, so I would recommend getting it checked by a mechanic to avoid any further damage.
