Golf V R32 :: Rusty Hatch And Front Fender?


May 18, 2015

Having rust issues? I just bought the car and noticed some was touched up with the rear hatch - under the window, right by the seal. Also, right by where the bottom of the door and front fender meet. Looks like it's inside, on the body/frame, not the fender.

I'll probably take it to dealer and hope to have it taken care of. Carfax came back clear so I'm pretty sure no work has been done on it before that would cause this.

Golf/GTI VI :: Driver Side Front Fender Liner Missing Access Panel

If the driver's side fender liner is supposed to have an access panel cover? I was swapping out my side markers today and noticed that my passenger's side has one but not the driver's side. Didn't think to check for something like that during delivery although from looking at the one from the passenger's side, it doesn't seem hard to believe that it could have fallen out due to spirited driving.

Golf V R32 :: How The Remote Works With Hatch Door And Front Light

Ok, I'm bit confused with how this remote works and how the factory set up is suppose to be.

1. Drove the car at night with light on "on"
2. Got out, turn the lights off
3. close the door
4. try to open the hatch, realized it was locked, so press the "open" button and i see my headlight turning back on?
I thought its suppose to stay off? I hate for the lights to turn on and off all the time when I press the switch.

When its suppose to turn on? I thought the light stays off when the light switch is on "off" position.

Azera TG (2006-11) :: Rusty Noise From Front End

Ten months ago the dealer replaced my front end suspension as the noise was getting worse. Everything but the shocks were replaced. Good news for me and after the replacement the noise was gone.

Six thousand miles later after a trip to south Florida and many bumpy roads the noise is back and with vengeance. It now sounds like a rusty front end noise. I just about given up on this noise issue. The 06 is out of warranty, no recalls, Hyundai knows the problem is on the 2006 cars and now I have the same problem yet it might not be the struts but maybe the shocks. The shocks bad after 35,000 miles. I can't see it but maybe. I need to get them looked at first to see if that is the issue.

Azera TG (2006-11) :: Rusty Noise Coming From The Right Front Side

Well after months of no real noise from my suspension the pot hole of the Spring and steal plates in the summer have caused a problem with the suspension on my Hyundai Azera. I was in the car with my lady friend a few weeks back and noticed a rusty noise coming from the right front side of the car. Sound like something not just right. When I got home I walked to the front of the car and pushed down on the hood and I did hear a funny sound like a squeak cracking sound on the left side.

Still under warranty I took the car up to the dealer and explained the problem. The last time I took the car to the dealer they didn't hear anything but this time I made sure to tell them that there is something wrong with the front end and drive it slowly and you will hear a cracking rusty squeaky sound. Sure enough they found something and the links needs to be taken off and new ones put on so they need to order the parts. Thursday I will have them put on and I hope that is problem. Links what in the heck are links? It takes about a hour in a half to put them on. Just by going over a little bump I can hear noise, or even backing out of the drive.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 1999 - Front Crossmember Rusty?

I have a 1999 F150 2wd. I was changing the oil on the weekend, and noticed a small hole/crack in the front crossmember that the control arms bolt to. This being a integral part of the suspension, I need to fix it. Its just the bottom part of the crossmember, it rusted from the inside out. The rest of the truck and frame is in great shape, so I am not junking it.

Golf VI R :: Seems Like A Rusty Spring Creaking

Seems to happen to just before the pedal reaches the floor, and then again just as I'm releasing it. It doesn't really have a sound per se, but it feels a bit like a rusty spring creaking....if that makes any sense.

Prius (2010-12) :: How To Replace Front Fender

I am working on my 2010 Prius, and needing to replace the front right fender. I have the collision manual, however, it does not shown completely what all must come off to remove the fender. I've removed the obvious 4 bolts, etc. Specifically

(a) what all must be removed to take off the fender, and
(b) are there any fender bolts that are concealed or out of plain view?

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Rubbing Only On Front Fender Liners

I just recently dropped my car on BC racing coilovers 16k fronk and 14k rear. I am having slight rubbing issues in the Front only. For everyone that's dropped on coils, if you were rubbing what did you do? I currently have my dampening set on 16/32. The rubbing is actually only on my front fender liners. I love the comfort with 16/32 and don't want to turn it up stiffer and I don't want to raise it up too much. I was told to raise it, turn up stiffness or heat up fender liner and push it up or in a bit. Also for the rear since its 2 piece suspension, to raise or lower the rear 1/2 inch would you adjust the height on the BC struts or the BC springs (the one that's sitting in the bucket)? A shop installed mine and I've only owned 1pc rear suspension for my other cars.

Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Installation Of Noise Insulator In Front Fender

Purchased new SF in April 2014. The noise insulator in the left hand front fender (Fits inside the fender behind the door hinges. Appears to be foam covered in plastic.) is missing. Can be seen If you open your front doors. Fills the cavity from top to bottom.

Dealer has ordered part but is telling me that the front bumper cover and fender will need to be removed to fit.

I would have thought that they would only need to remove the wheel and fender liner to fit. Ten minute job!

Not keen at all on them pulling the fender off.

RHS insulator seems to be a loose fit in the fender cavity and can easily be moved around.

Passat (B7) :: Washer Fluid Reservoir Leaking Out From Right Front Fender

Just as the title states. The thing I'm wondering is how this happened; I haven't hit any hard bumps nor has the right front had any sort of collision. My guess is it started to leak out about 5 days ago which triggered the low washer fluid light and when I went to put more washer fluid in it tonight it just starts dripping (about half second intervals) out of the valence.

Ford Excursion :: Coolant Leaking Right Behind The Front Passenger Fender Well

Alright, yesterday while I am at work, wife calls me up and tells me the Ex is leaking coolant. I got home a little before dark and looked at it. Right behind the front passenger fender well, it appears that either a bolt came out of a bracket, or someone took it off for something and was too lazy to put it on, allowing the metal elbows to swing over and rub on a bracket. So now I have a hole in that elbow, and I need to the excursion for our trip over Christmas leave. Where I might get an elbow to replace that one? Also, need to know the bolt size for that heater hose bracket to keep it from happening again? If I can't find one pretty soon, I will have to JBWeld or something it temporarily to hold us through until after Christmas.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rusty Passenger Side Rocker Panel

Recently I made a corrosion claim about some rust forming on my jetta. Long story short VWOA accepted to replace my passenger side fender and trunk, but refused to replace my passenger side rocker panel. Once all the warranty work is taken care of I would like to treat the rocker panel rust the best way possible. I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on this procedure, but I don't want there to be a hole in my car by next winter.

Personally I'm thinking of sanding it all down, treating the rust, applying some paint to it, and then trying to protect the area a little more by investing in OEM side skirts.

Prius (2010-12) :: Front Fender Warping From Inside Due To Heat Damage

I have a 2010 Toyota Prius. I have had it for a little over a year. A couple weeks ago I noticed that the paint on the front fender had "bubbled up" in a strip approximately 8 inches long. It felt like the fender was cracked underneath it. I took the car in to the dealership. Their service department took off the fender and said that it was warped, not broken. They said it was due to some kind of heat damage that it had been exposed to. Of course, they said it wasn't due to any malfunctioning of the car. They say the car must have been "exposed" to some kind of heat source. In other words, it is all my fault and they are not going to fix it under the warranty! I have not exposed it to any kind of heat, except sun light!

I recently purchased 96 Toyota Tacoma 108 K miles. I discovered that it is totally missing all the front fender liners on both sides. Looking for info as to the number of parts needed for each side. No need to include the clips because they are bought by the 10 pack. Maybe how many 10 packs.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: 2015 - Part Of Inner Fender Ripped Off On Front Driver Side

While I was driving home tonight, i rolled over something essentially ripped off part of the inner fender on the front driver's side. I think it might be a two or three piece set for the inner fender. the front section that protects some fluid tank and the headlight stuff is now gone. the top and rear pieces are damaged. I will post photos/videos tomorrow during daytime when I remove the remaining pieces (can't drive with them in). I don't know if there are any differences between the various years, but I do have a 2015.

Honda - Cr-v :: 2000 - Smoke Is Coming Out From Front Fender Side Of Engine At The Center

Ten days ago I had the "Camshaft Plug" and the "Oil Pressure Light Switch" replaced on my 2000 Honda CR-V 2.0L 1972CC L4 with 206,000 miles on it. Today the car (engine) is bucking and a very small amount of smoke is coming out from the front fender side of the engine at the center (as you look from left to right) from what appears to be near the cover gasket.When it started to buck only about a mile from my house I return immediately and shut it off. The temperature gauge never moved from the normal position and the car seem to buck more when it was going slower. What might be wrong? Also could the replacement of the two engine parts I mentioned have anything to do with the current problem?

Golf IV R32 :: Smoke Coming Out Of Fender

Started my car early in the morning, nothing happened. I paused thinking the battery was shot, but then realized that there was smoke coming out of my fender... I jumped out of the car, disconnected the battery terminals and rushed over to see what the hell was on fire/smoking. I popped the hood expecting the engine bay to be engulfed in flames, but to find it was coming out of the inner fender. I looked down by the wheel and the brake line to the caliper was on fire.. I put the fire out and sat there with zero idea on what happened.

Golf/GTI VI :: Quarter Inch Gap Between Bumper And Fender?

I just got my car back from the body shop after a front end accident and they replaced the bumper, hood, and headlights. However they said the fenders were fine. Now i'm noticing about a quarter inch difference (on both sides) where the bumper meets the fender. Could this be because the fenders bent slightly too or because it's a brand new bumper?
