Passat (B5) :: Ticking Noise When 2004 VW Starts


Jul 26, 2011

i have a 2004 vw passat b5.5 1.8t. i have researched what this ticking noise is but its either my lifters or my chain tensioner. it only clicks right when my car starts but as soon as it warms up the noise goes away. also the ticking goes up with my rpms and ticks faster. I know both of these could be the culprit but i am not sure.

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Ticking Noise From Behind?

There is a black plastic cover that is on the passenger side of the engine, it is visible from the top side of the motor and is right behind the alternator and next to the coolant resivoir bottle. There are three hoses that run right next to it. I hope that is a good description. anyway, there is a pretty loud ticking noise coming from behind that cover. I just bought the car and when I took delivery of it i noticed it and the dealership had the techs look at it. they said everything is normal. were they right? this is on a 2006 2.0t.

Passat (B5) :: 2002 1.8T - Ticking Noise After Replacing Timing Belt

I had the Timing belt, roller, tensioner, belts, etc replaced and I am getting this funny ticking noise after the engine tuns on. It seems to go away after the engine warms up but not all the time. I have the AWM engine and bought the kit from ECS tuning. My mechanic (who is excellent and beyond honest) thinks that I have sludge in the engine. The engine was super quiet before the whole kit was replaced so I doubt that all of a sudden the sludge, if present, would cause this. I have been meticulous with oil changes and always used the appropriate weight and type. Castol Syntec 502. My mechanic told me that the belts and everything looked in great shape at 89000 miles. I wonder if I should have bought OEM parts. Otherwise the car runs perfectly.

Passat (B6) :: Deep Ticking Noise Coming From Rear Compartment

For those with Climatronic, you would have probably heard the noise it makes when it's adjusting vents etc on start up....like a deep ticking of sorts. Well, just recently that same type of noise is coming from the rear compartment of the car and only when coming to a stop or sitting at a light.

Passat (B6) :: 2007 - Clicking / Ticking Noise When First Started In Morning

My '07 2.0T 6MT has started making a clicking / ticking noise when it is first started in the morning. The car is garaged, so it doesn't get all that cold. The noise seems to be coming from behind the center dash, in the area behind the climate control and radio panels. It doesn't last particularly long (maybe 3 seconds, clicking perhaps 3 times per second or so). It happens whether the radio is on or not, so it's not the CD changer shuffling discs or anything like that. I suspect it has something to do with the Climatronic system's ducting.

I had a Saab that made a noise similar to this, and they had to disassemble the entire dash before they found that the drum that directs air to the various vents was sticking. It ended up costing $1500 in labor to do the job. So I'm looking for a sanity check before I send my dealer on a long, expensive hunt that will likely result in a "no fault found" or "could not duplicate".

Passat (B5) :: Engine Ticking Noise At Idle / Air Sometimes Stops Coming Out When AC On

We have a 2004 Passat V6, and we've noticed at idle, the engine makes 5 or six fast ticks, stops, then goes again, over and over. I tried searching but didn't find anything relevant.

Also, sometime when the AC is on, all of a sudden the air stops coming out, but the blower still roars, then a couple seconds later the air comes rushing out of the vents again.

Passat (B5) :: Loud Ticking Noise From Engine Compartment At Cold Start

There is a loud ticking noise coming from an undetermined location in the engine compartment (sounds more like behind the motor). It starts on cold-start, lasts approximately a minute or so until the engine heats up. Driveability doesn't seem to be affected, and the engine doesn't have any additional weird symptoms. Some other VW owners have suggested changing the cam belt and tensioner to fix this problem, but the car has only just turned 45K miles and can't imagine that it would fail so quickly.

Passat (B7) :: Ticking Noise When Turning At Higher Speeds - ABS Or Traction Control?

I've been hearing a faint but rapid ticking noise when taking faster exit/clover-leaft style turns (usually ~40mph). I think it's the ABS or traction control on the verge of kicking in because if I push it a little harder I do get the flashing traction control light on the dash, but the ticking is happening before that light comes on.

I'll ask the dealer when I do the courtesy 30 day inspection... I'm at the end of the 2nd week of ownership with 200 miles right now, so I'm still getting used to the car. (2013 Passat TDI SEL). Loving the 40+ mpg on my rush hour commute!

I did a search and didn't find anything on the B7 forum that might explain this noise. I don't think it's a CV joint since the car is new, it happens when going around these style turns either way and only seems to happen at higher speeds. I suspect it's just that the traction control is sensitive (or maybe I haven't scrubbed the tires enough yet to get good contact).

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Stop / Oil Pressure Engine Off Message On Display And Ticking Noise

2006 Passat 2.0T

- Three days ago, after a cold start, while driving to work "STOP! OIL PRESSURE ENGINE OFF" came on the display and disappeared right away.
- Drove the car to work and did not stop.
- Came back home and saw "Some" Fluid leak on my driveway. I touched it but did not seem like engine oil (I am making this assumption based on the fact that the fluid was not dark, but it was oily".
- I have not received that warning after that single incident.
- I have not seen any new leaks either.
- But, when I press the accelerator, there is a ticking noise.. something like - if you put a card in a bicycle wheel.

My car is due for service. So taking to the dealer day after tomorrow. Miles: 70870....

Landrover :: 2004 - Single Ticking Noise On Top End

I have 2004 land rover discovery, and i hear a single ticking noise on top. I open valve covers, and i was thinking bad lifter. I can see nothing really broken, but i found one of the push rods bent. I inspected all of them, and i got new lifters and push rods only for one side. I put it together, runs fine, but half an hour after, the noise came back again.

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2004 Ticking Noise Every Minute When Car Is Idling

2004 Prius with 109,000 miles. It's been in an accident before (and you can tell, the front right fender is a bit misaligned and the doors have a paint covering abrasions).

However, the car is making a ticking noise every minutes or so. The sound is originating in the Hybrid Synergy Drive converter inverter box and about every minute for about 5 or 7 seconds or so there will be a ticking or clicking noise. This happens when the car is idling, driving, and even a minute or two after car was shut off. The mechanic next door to the dealer didn't know what it is and the dealer is giving me a 30 day. What could this clicking be?

Prius (2004-09) :: Light Ticking Noise Whenever Blower Air Fan Is On

My 2005 Prius has always made a light ticking noise whenever the blower air fan is on. It adjust noise and speed when adjusting air speed.

I have replaced the cabin filter with no luck. It almost sounds like a leaf or paper, but I can't see or reach anything in there to fix it.

Is there a DIY write up to remove the blower? I suppose I will see if there is anything to clear out, or potentially just replace the unit.

Camry :: 2004 - Ticking Noise After Idling For A Few Minutes

[URL] .....

What is that little motor shown in the still image (in focus at 22 seconds in the video) and why is it ticking? I noticed for the first time ever that it coincidentally wasn't ticking when I first tried shooting this video. After idling for a few minutes, it came on and started ticking away. Its much more noticeable when the engine idle is lower than in the video, and its more noticeable in person. The noise I am referring to is more pronounced later in the video at around 44 seconds when I go completely out of focus because I am putting the mic right next to it.

Touareg :: 2004 - Ticking Noise When Accelerating Strongly

On my 2004 VW (V8) Touareg (55k miles) I'm starting to hear a ticking or flicking (like with playing cards) noise from somewhere outside the cabin when I put the hammer down. For example, if I'm at a dead stop and kinda hit the gas (for a good throttle response) my wife and I both hear a ticking noise that is making me wonder if something is wrong or heading that way....

Prius (2004-09) :: Ticking Noise At High Speed

I've got an '04 Pkg IX with about 68k miles on it.

I've noticed that at speeds of greater than 60mph there is a distinct ticking noise (like the sound a bicycle makes when you turn the wheel "tick tick tick"). The noise is coming from the front end, sounds like near the passenger area.

The minute you drop down to speeds of around 50 or less it goes away.

I'm probably going to have to take it in to the dealer since I've already had an indy look at it.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2004 - Ticking Noise From Engine

MKIV Jetta wagon 2004. Bought used last year. Four previous owners with 125K on it.

Problem: After oil change where I previously had 5W-30 with valvoline dino, I changed with a different brand 5W-30 (Peak brand). Ticking noise started immediately from engine area usually only after it got up to temperature. Also using different oil filter. Initially not sure if it was injector or lifter tick. It ended up being lifter tick, and the give away was when going down a small hill and the engine downshifting, the increase RPM caused the tick to increase at the same rate. So here is the path I went down.

1. Swapped out oil filter - no change. I thought this might work because I was using a fram tough guard.
2. Added some rislone with ZDDP additive. Quieted down the valvetrain quite a bit, but did not solve the problem
3. Added rislone engine treatment. Got better, but still not totally solved.
4. Tried to "drive it out" and get some mileage on the rislone . Didn't work. Definitely better though

Finally, after all that I figured let's give my baby some of the thick sauce. So I pulled out a quart from the diptube with my suction device and put in a quart of 10W-40. Almost immediately PROBLEM GONE. So either that crappy peak oil doesn't have the viscosity that it advertises, or the valve train is just getting old and needs a little bit thicker oil in the summer. Probably both. I will also keep using a small dose of the ZDDP additive to extend the life of the valvetrain, as it sounds really good with that stuff in the system.
