C5 Problem Encountered ?
Two quick questions :
1. A4 2002 anyone experience shaking or stuttering when reversing ? (kinda strange, hard to explain...)
2. When at times revving the engine (experience a rattle) could it be a loose heat shield ?
Web Post Mediator can you place in C5 Tech/Performance... (thanks)
Any experiences or solutions, or warranty work please provide feedback...

Maybe you'd get a better answer in the Tech/Performance section. The rattle from revving could be a shield loose, but it could also be a number of things. If you are under warranty, let them diagnose it and fix it.

At about $50K per car, if ANYTHING rattles, bumps, burbles, hiccups, sneezes, etc., I go directly to the dealer and have them check it. :thumbs:
As a minimum, the information goes into the GM "reported problems" file on your car and should, eventually, aid the GM folks in identifying problem trends with our beloved Vettes. :steering: :chevy

Re: C5 Problem Encountered ? (carpe dm)
My A4 did the same shuddering in reverse, but it only happened when hitting the gas immedieately after the shift...try shifting into reverse, waiting a few secs, then pressing the gas. Dont know if this is normal or not. My dealer dismissed me and told me ALL c5's do this :rolleyes:. However, it has not caused any problems (yet).
