Passat (B6) :: Pop While Driving And Car Got Extremely Loud With Increased Vibrations
Dec 18, 2011
Today while driving I heard a pop and than my car got extremely loud with increased vibrations. The noise is not terribly loud at idle but extremely loud while accelerating. I also noticed at idle it seems that nothing is blowing out the exhaust tips
My question is, if the flex pipe is covered under the extended emissions warranty and if is not covered by the warranty would a catless dp fix my problem?

2008 Passat 45k. No accidents. Towed twice on flatbeds due to bad fuel pump. Tires were rotated every 10k or so.
I'm wondering if there are any suspension (or wheel) issues that can lead to maybe tire wear and a loud oscillating noise. I had factory Goodyear Eagles 235/45-R17's that started to develop a very loud speed-dependent oscillating noise that definitely came from the tires, but I can't tell if it's one tire or more than one. I just had them replaced though I was not quite yet down to the wear indicators. My new Continentals are of course pretty quiet, but occasionally I think I hear very faint oscillations again on certain surfaces at high speed.
I'm worried that I might trash these new tires. I had to have an alignment/balance/rotation at about 30k due to minor steering vibrations at highway speeds. The noise started around 37k and got louder and louder. About this same time I had a flat tire that was immediately repaired; I noticed uneven wear on this flat tire which I attributed to the previous minor alignment/balance problem. I usually find out about any low pressures by the dash light, so I'm pretty sure my tire pressures are usually good. I rotated at 40k with a minor improvement that got bad again after about 1k.

So over the past year, I've noticed an increased 'hum' while driving in my 2001 Honda Accord Sedan. Originally this only occurred while going 80 on the Interstate. I just passed it off as going over the speed limit and tires then. Over the past few months however, I've noticed it occurring at speeds as low as 30-40mph. It's not deafening, but is a solid 'mmmmm' coming from what sounds like the rear left tire. When I make a right-turning curve the sound lessens or vanishes during that curve entirely, but a left-turning curve makes no change to the sound. As I slow to below 30mph, the sound disappears.
The rear tires are due for replacing soon, but I've driven on MUCH barer tires in college with no recollection of this sort of sound (in other cars). The wheel appears to be solid with no wobble as well.

Having issues with brake noise when only in reverse? I have extremely loud break noise only when I reverse out. Could this just mean I need to get a break change?

I have a 2010 Elantra Touring, manual transmission. At about 30,000 miles it developed an odd feature which continues through the present time with just under 50,000 miles. At any speed and on any road from time to time I suddenly get a loud interior noise like driving right next to a train running on a track. There is no vibration, just a very loud rumbling sound drowning out the radio. Goes away after a few minutes, does not recur on the same piece of road, same temperature, or same time of day. When it first occurred the dealer inspected it and though they could not hear it they divined that the aftermarket cruise control mounting bracket had become loose and was vibrating. They tightened it and the sound went away for a year but is now back louder than ever. I checked the bracket and it is tight and the dealer can find nothing loose. The bumper to bumper warranty is about to expire. I am thinking a crack in a steel bearing surface or a bad weld causing a vibration running through the body. Again I feel no actual vibration through the steering wheel.

I just took my wifes 2013 S to the dealer over a very loud ticking noise that I suspected was the fuel injectors. It ticks at all speeds, idle, etc. The dealer called and said that it was a completely normal sound. I have an identical model except it's a 2012 and it makes absolutely no noise. Her car has only 5000 miles on it. I was wondering if this is a common problem or if the sound truly is normal. This wouldn't be the first time that a stealership has given me the run around.

I am playing with the idea of having my 2006 2.0t chipped. A Stage 1 is all I want, but I am concerned about the PVC hose busting due to increased boost.
I heard that later 2.0t's have improved PVC hoses. Mine is an 2006, but it is a late 2006 (build date 03/06). When did the improved PVC hoses get installed on the 2.0t's?

I have been driving my 2014 Sonata GLS in Sport mode with no problem. However, two days ago the engine got extremely noisy. I checked the Comfort and Normal modes - definitely no scary noise. Is this common?

I am getting a loud ticking noise after driving my vehicle for a bit. The dealership says its age of vehicle but i don't agree with that.

So I have a 2013 Passat I bought on 1/2013 and it currently has 25,9XX miles and it's having a lot of loud squeaks while driving. It turned out to be an issue with the rear brake rotors which they are saying aren't covered due to being a wear and tear item but wouldn't <26k be abnormal wear and not fall under that exclusion? Both the service department and the person I spoke to at VWoA said they had never heard of anything like this happening before.

It seems the car has developed a loud "clunk sound" during some "spirited" driving. It is also felt near my left foot when this happens. It will happen, lets say, once during a right turn. Then, if a left turn is soon followed in the same "spirited" manner, another clunk will happen. There may be a less loud clunk once in a while during a quick take-off from a light. Is something shifting around? Is this cause for immediate action or can I wait until my 10k service in about a month?

My 30 neon when driving will have deep vibrations. Me and my friend jacked it up to get under it since its a FWD car. My girlfriend started it up and put it in gear and there was nothing. So we checked the tires and they had no play the engine is fine no shaking/ idles smooth. So when we drop the car and we drive it does it. It puzzles me how when the car has no weight on it there was nothing but when we dropped it and drove around there was the noise/vibrations.

Last night I was driving my '99 Passat when suddenly I heard this loud alarm in my car. Quickly looking down I saw what I think were my ABS and brake indicator lights on. It happened so fast, maybe less than a second and everything was back to normal.
I was driving on dry pavement on country roads at about 60 mph. Outside temp was 37 and there were major gusts of wind, maybe 40 mph or so. Vehicle has about 115,000 miles on it.
Checked my manual and it said to have it checked.

I have a 2014 passat 1.8 tsi comfort line about 7 months old. And i have some questions about it. Does warranty cover interior quality? cuz there are loud crackling noises while driving on normal roads. and recently since it snowed the crackling became much more noticeable and loud, really annoying.
In the morning backing out of the driving way, the breaks squeak in a really high pitch sound, the dealership told me it is normal but it got louder than when i first got it. Seems like its a normal problem for most, but is there a way to reduce the noise? i get its cleaning the brakes but its mad loud.
So driving in the snow the brakes get really bumpy, is that abs or is it like crushing snow? just sorta scary feeling.

I have real vibrations when braking. What could be the cause? I think its a warped rotor. Also.. What are your opinions on cross drilled rotors. I hear they are good with disapating heat but i heard they wear down break pads quickly.

I have had my B7 for about 6 Months now and love the car except that the car sounds worse than my MK4 and the B6 that it replaced. I have solved most of the rattles and queaks and cracks but as soon as I fix them a week later I have 5 new ones. I have attempted to fix them using different sizes of felt pads after a few trips to the dealer and the fix kits did not work.

First of all, I love my 2007 Passat, and consider this a very minor issue, but I'm just curious because it's so weird. This happens to me once or twice every winter... I park the car outside most of the time because my wife insists on her SUV being in the garage.
Anyway, when the temperature outside drops to around 5-10 below zero for the first time of the season, or if it's even colder for a night, like, say, 25-30 below zero, I'll start the Passat and it will run, no problem, but I get a prompt on the instrument panel and these letters that say ECP on the display. When this happens, the car will only go about 10-15 mph. Once it warms up or if I put it in the garage out of the cold, it goes away and I can go as fast as I want.

Noticing rattles, squeaks and/or buzzing vibrations?
I have a rattle from the rear driver's side, a vibration from the passenger-side dashboard and a squeak in or near the front passenger seat. I feel like I'm losing my mind!
