2012 GTi DSG... In low rpm when I have the gas pushed down and to get it up in speed to it sounds like in metal rattling around or like a plastic bag and you are smashing it around.
View 1 RepliesI first noticed that the sunroof was making scratching noises when I opened and closed it then finally noticed the plastic on one side had just fallen out. I put it back, but it just eventually falls out again.
5 pictures included. Two show the plastic completely out. The other 3 show how it usually is with most of the plastic in the center attached, but the edges hanging out a bit.

2013 Camry SE; I am experiencing a plastic buzzing noise coming from the left side of the steering wheel, the noise seems to be coming from the small compartment area (below the AC vent). If I press my hand against it, then the noise stops.
View 3 RepliesHaving problems with sunroof cover making noise when going over bumps? It just sounds like the plastic is making all the noise.
View 8 RepliesIt sounds like a plastic on plastic rattle coming from the dash area. The sound comes loudly through the vents, so I am thinking it is something under the hood. Bumps make it much worse. No relationship to whether I am on the throttle or not.
View 9 RepliesI have been doing some research on why my 6sp MT makes a weird almost "Plastic Grinding" noise when shifting from 1st to second on cold days when it sits overnight. It has been getting under 40 degree that last couple days and it seems to go away after just a few minutes of driving. It only happens from 1st to 2nd. I have been told its normal and just because the trans fluid is thicker when cold.
View 3 RepliesMy car started make a weird chatter noise. The noise was never there before I swapped out the plastic coolant pipe with the billet crack pipe.

Been hearing a plastic sounding tapping noise when I ride over very bumpy roads. Turns out the floor panel in the trunk has some play and it's not padded. Well I wedged a towel Between the floor and the trunk lid and the tapping is gone. I was able to duplicate the sound by lifting and dropping the sliding floor in the trunk. Anyway I'm thrilled car is supple and quite over bumpy roads now. I went over every bumpy road I could find; nice and planted and quite now...

Replaced cap
Changed hoses and antifreeze
Leak seems isolated to the upper hose from radiator to filler neck.
Dealership did pressure test and changed clamps with no success.
Not overheating.
I noticed the smell of antifreeze one day and upon inspection came across a small puddle of antifreeze on the lower plastic under body. The car only has 30k on it and decided it wasn't the hoses. I noticed spots of antifreeze around the filler neck and thought it might be the cap. It was a cheap part so changed that out for a new one and still had puddles. I thought it might be the hoses after all and decided why not change all the hoses and antifreeze. Still the puddles are there which only leaves me to believe that it's the filler neck. Unbolted the filler neck for inspection and the inlet/outlet have no issues. I'm thinking it might be where the cap sits on the filler neck. It only seems to happen when it's under pressure. At start up there is no issues. I tried to let it heat up and build pressure to see if I can spot the leak but no joy. I'm guess it happens while under throttle.
Have probably 1500 miles on my '15 XSE. Got in the car today and noticed that there was a crack in the instrument cluster plastic shield. I just detailed the interior of my car 400 miles ago and it wasn't there and I've been the only person in my car.
View 5 RepliesLooking to sell my '12 F-250 turbo diesel Lariat. She's in great condition, and only 8000 miles. Her only sore point is some scratches and scuffs on the plastic cap on the top edge of the tailgate (see picture below). I think it's part # BC3Z-9940602-B.
How to remove this cap, preferably without breaking/scratching anything else. It looks like there are no external fasteners, so I'm guessing it's just held on with clips on its underside, or some such. It might be more obvious once I get and examine the replacement part, but just figured I'd ask.
I just noticed on my wife's camry the rear door pillar post plastic is sort of lifting/buckling in the middle. The front doors pillar plastic is fine just on both rear doors it started to lift in the middle. When you push it back down it stays for a second or two then lifts up again. the car is 2012 and only has 10k miles Not happy.
View 14 RepliesThis morning after pulling out of the garage, i notice a small wet spot on the floor, went to see what it was and it was oil, its was a wierd shade of red/orange and very clear, def not engine oil. Then looked under a car and saw it where it came from, front driver side, there is a some kind of plastic cover, it was collecting there then dripping out. I can see the oil dripping on the plastic cover when looking from the engine bay? What can it be?
View 4 RepliesSo just like the title says I am experiencing a sort of burnt rubber or plastic type smell when at a stop. I feel like it would smell like a belt slipping but I have never had that issue on this car or the last one so I have no experience in pin pointing the smell. I have no noticeable changes to the power of the engine or the brakes from what I can tell.
View 6 RepliesJust noticed my 2012 didn't come with a noise pipe. Did VW stop installing these for the 2012s?
View 24 RepliesWhen braking or accelerating or when hitting pothole I hear plastic noise (like when someone pack walmart plastic bags) from either driver front door panel (or insulation around door) or pillar between front and back door on driver side only. I hear same kind noise but much lower noise when pulling up window (only when it reaches top, not all the way...). It is only driver side and not passenger side. Other than that car is so quite (specially with my Defender tires), that any kind of noise is driving me crazy...
View 1 RepliesI drove my .:R in the snow for the first time on Saturday (first for the car too, its from FL) and the plastics under the side rail got cold and cracked apart which I noticed the next morning when a piece was hanging.
View 5 RepliesI have just about 1500 miles on my recently purchased 2012 GTI. Yesterday, a 'click' started to come from the clutch pedal every time I depressed it. It occurs in about the first 2 inches of travel, and I can actually feel it on the bottom of my foot. It does not happen on the pedal's return.
View 12 RepliesI finally took the plunge and got a new 2012 Candy White 4 door GTI two Saturdays ago. The car is perfect except for one really annoying thing-pretty bad wind noise on the interstate-which starts at about 60 mph-I don't hear it at normal street speeds. It seems to be coming from the upper left front corner of the car. The driver's door, side mirror and window appear to be fine.
I have a service appointment for this on Friday morning. Can VW fix this or will I just have to always blast my radio when on the interstate? I keep reading about how subdued the wind noise is in the current GTI, so I'm assuming what I'm hearing isn't normal.
So I cold started our V today and the electric motor turned on. When it switched over to the gas motor when I turned the heat on in the car, there was a violent plastic on plastic clunking or clanging type of noise. Sounded like something sheered itself off the motor. Then after about 5 seconds, it went away. Drove the car for a while, no check engine lights, no other weird noises, no problems. Engine seems like it has been ticking a bit in all this cold weather but I figure it was just lifter noise so I ignored it. Car is a 2012 with approximately 17k miles on it. Going to try to see if the same thing happens when I cold start it tomorrow morning in the frigid air. Car just had its 15k service and the dealer said it was perfect.....I don't get it. This noise was freaking loud. We LOVE this car btw...never thought I would say this about a hybrid because I am a HP nut, but this is the best, most functional car we have ever owned so far.
