I just bought a 1998 Audi A4 1.8T and it been a dream so far, until this problem started.
I start the car with the clutch pedal all the way to the floor, turn the key, and everything runs as it should. The problem comes when I release the clutch and start to press it back in I get a high pitched grind noise. This noise only occurs when I push the clutch all the way in. I can push the clutch in enough to switch gears and I am able to drive around fine though.
A fellow audi enthusiast suggested that it could be a problem with my ignition switch, it may be worn and the starter may just be always on and causing the noise when the flywheel engages. Not sure what to make of that though. Any insight would be helpful!
