Golf VI R :: 2013 - Repetitive Clicking Sound Coming And Continues
Feb 10, 2013
The noise was getting more constant and less intermittent so i swung into the dealership. There is something mechanically wrong with the engine and i left in a loaner car. They did not feel it was safe to continue driving it until the problem is pinpointed. They didnt tell me
much other than that and that they are contacting VW concerning this..... 530 miles on ODO.
So a week ago i bought a golf r, it's a 4 door w/sunroof nav. It has 418 miles odo and is making a very intermittent tapping/clicking sound coming from the passenger side.
I've read about the fuel system pressure tester noise and heard it on youtube and it is NOT the sound i'm hearing. I notice it at lower speeds both coming to a stop and sometimes rolling away from a stop. Last time it did it while approaching a stop i immediately took the car out of gear and completely let off the clutch and the noise continued without change.
It is a repetitive clicking sound that does not change in tempo, it's constantly the same rhythm. It sounds almost exactly like a nail in a tire.... only there is no nail in any tire and it is completely random.
Theres been times where i've already been driving for 45 minutes yet it does it.
The car is basically brand new and NO i havent beaten it what so ever yet.

Driving down the road in my 2001 Jetta GLX VR6 and I slow down as i approach a red light. As I get slower I notice a repetitive clicking sound, i apply my brakes and it stops. So now Im curious so Im driving around doing about 20mph trying to find out what the hell this sound is. I know two things! Its coming from my drivers side front, and when I apply my brakes it stops. It clicks driving straight, turning, coasting with the car in neutral. My steering rack just blew out on me, so driving around with no powering steering and I have a click. I am not troubleshooting all day tomorrow. I don't have any vibrations, or what not.

I own 2012 Sonata Limited, with 40,000 miles on it.
The push start wouldn't work this morning, the car will make the annoying clicking sound, the dashboard is lit up but bunch of icons are active, the brake is very hard.
I saw few people had same issue and they said it could be either 1) dead batter 2) starter kit issuue.
My car is parked on basement garage, not sure how it can be towed. I wish a simple jump start would fix it and maybe I can bring it to nearby shop for checkup.

I started hearing a constant clicking sound coming from behind the radio (higher, towards the dashboard). The clicking is pretty loud and is present while the engine is on and when its off with the ignition on. Its also heard whether radio is on or off or the climate control is on or off. It is NOT heard from the outside with the hood up. What this could be?

I have a small clicking sound coming from my intake manifold. I recently installed a boost gauge and it did it once after that... I shut the car off and I didn't hear again until 1000 miles later and its back, why it would be clicking like this but its annoying

I've noticed this sound coming from the instrument panel area for a while now. It comes and goes, sometimes starts in the middle of driving, sometimes starts right when I start the car. It almost sounds like I have the turn signal on, but that's not it. There isn't much to see - the video is mainly so you can hear the sound.

I just started hearing this clicking/ticking sound about two days ago. It is definitely coming from the pulley/belt side of the motor and is more pronounced from under the car. I've tried to see what happens when I turn the A/C on and it still continues like normal. At idle its spaced 3 seconds apart with 3 consecutive clicks/ticks.
As I raise the RPM its spaced closer but still has 3 pronounced clicks that I can hear until the exhaust drowns it out. Tension on the belt seems to be good and its in good condition. The car runs better than it did a year ago with MPG actually going up a few about a week ago (cleaned the MAF, new filter, new tires).
I did have a P0103 code 2 weeks ago due to an over oiled K&N filter but I've done the work listed above since then with great results. The car runs great right now but I'm a stickler for the little details, like obnoxious noises (especially ones that are potentially bad).

I've got a 2011 Sonata GLS with 83k on it.
Last night I was driving and started to hear a repetitive knocking sound. Stopped to determine if it was only when moving but it continued in park.
Checked the oil and apparently there was very little of it.
Don't know how I screwed that up but the mechanic heard the engine for 1 second and said I need a full engine replacement.
So, yeah I am ticked off and need to take care of it.
The VIN qualifies for a replacement under the recall but I don't know how the dealership will feel about the present engine condition.
If that's not an option, where do I even begin to look for a replacement?

I have this repetitive rubbing sound coming from the driver's side front wheel. It increases as I go faster and slower as the car goes slower. When I apply the brakes the sound disappears. It usually isn't audible when first driving but will show up after a few minutes. If I'm turning slightly to the left it will go away, or if I make a right turn I will occasionally get a rattling noise that's distinctly different.
I had this looked at a while ago, before the rattling noise appeared, and they determined it was a motor mount and replaced that. The noise did not go away.
I've taken a look at it and do not see anything obvious. Brake pads are still good, rotor is smooth and not visibly warped (though it has more rust on it than I'd like). I tried moving the tire to see if the bearings were shot but didn't have any luck (I'm not ruling it out yet).

It only seems to happen every few days. I have noticed it when I come to a stop, then I hear a repetitive knock coming from under the front passenger side of the car. knock, knock... 7 times, in rhythm, not decreasing in volume, then it stops. Kind of like a gnome trying to get in from under the car... It does not sound like something is flapping or swinging as the knocks are consistent, it sounds mechanical in nature. The car is at the dealer right now for that and other things but they cannot get it to make that noise.

While driving down a multiple lane expressway I noticed a repetitive "whump, whump, whump, whump" that would speed up or slow down with the car. The car is a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid "All Wheel Drive" with 80,000 miles on it. The tires, Cooper CTS 235 70 R15's, are pretty new, they were installed at 70,000 miles and have been rotated at 76,500. The noise is not very loud but noticeable by myself and passengers.
About 4 years ago one of the OEM Michelins developed an abnormal wear pattern that caused this noise. The vehicle had a 4 wheel alignment along with the rotation at 76,500. No reason to believe it was "knocked" out of alignment since then. Any thoughts as to what is causing this noise and what we should to to remedy it?

For the past day, when I turn on my 2008 Ford Taurus X, i hear a repetitive flapping sound for about 15 seconds. It seems to be coming from the center of the dashboard. It sounds like " bap bap bap bap..." My son said it sounds like a metronome. Is this bad??

My mother and I own a 2001 RAV4 and over the past few weeks/couple of months we've had 4 instances where the car wouldn't start. Everything works - lights, radio, windows, etc. but when we try to start the engine it just makes a repetitive ticking sound and won't turn over. The first 2 times it happened the car eventually started but the second two times we had to get a jump. I suspect that there is a loose connection somewhere in the battery, but when it happened again the other day my mother got a jump and drove to the dealer for a look; the repairman said that the battery was fine and couldn't offer any other explanation for it.

Had the car for over a week now, noticing a clicking or ticking sound at idle- i.e. no radio and at a stop light. Slightly annoying, but the car has been great otherwise.
2015 new gs350 f sport.
It is not when i am making turns, just sitting idle with the wheels straight.

I recently starting hearing a very audible clicking/ticking sound in the rear that happens for about a second each time the car is started. After, everything seems to be just fine, but I don't know if this is something I should be concerned about.
I recently did some suspension work and I don't know if this is somehow related or if I'm now just extra sensitive to the sounds my car makes after the work was done. Perhaps the auto parking brake disengaging?

When I turn on the rear wiper there is a clicking sound that comes from the front dash. (click...click... ever time the wiper goes up/down)
I could have sworn I have never heard this noise before (and it is noticeable), but the dealer says it is the relay and it is normal.
I only bring this up because in the Ford I have as a rental while the Elantra is fix makes no noise when you use the rear wiper.

I just got a used low-milage 2013 LS460, and noticed that every time I tap the break pedal I hear a "clicking" sound coming from under the dash or hood. This seems to happen every time I touch or press on the brakes, at seemingly any speed. It sounds almost like an actuator of some kind... perhaps like the type which allows the transmission to shift out of park. Is this normal, or an indication of a an issue?

I just replaced both driver and passenger side window regulators (they were about to fail but still worked) Prior to replacing them, my driver side door had a faint, yet repetitive rattle. I was under the impression a new window regulator would fix the issue. Needless to say, it didn't solve the rattle problem (though the windows are now firmly in place). I suspect it's coming from within the door panel itself. I've peeked inside the door panel without fully removing it and could find nothing. Maybe it's something loose that needs to be secured? I swear it's like Chinese water torture hearing that rattle and it's driving me nuts.
Edit: Holding the glass down, or holding/pushing on the door panel does nothing at all.

I think that one of them is coming from the passenger door. It is more of a clicking sound kind of, than a rattle. Maybe as if the door panel isn't tightly attached so it moves back and forth a little and clicks.
The other rattle is from the cupholder area.
I took this car to my dealer and they fixed another rattle from the passenger door (claimed it was a screw in the speaker that had fallen out?), but it was replaced by this new clicking rattle. They also claimed they did something to the cupholder to fix it, but it didn't work.
My question is, how the door panels are attached to the car? I was thinking that if it is attached by a few screws I will try tightening those up myself before I go back to the dealer. It would be great if it was just attached too loosely and I could fix it myself.

I started getting this weird sound after 10K miles service. I noticed it when i parked my car in the garage and the engine was off. I get this sound with or without turning the AC.
It sounds like a very fast tapping/clicking under the hood. (it is like a cooling sound but much faster) ..I don't think i got this kind of sound before. I don't know how to describe it.. Here is the youtube link: [URL] .....
It usually last for 30 mins-ish... Is it normal?
