Passat (B6) :: While Moving To Gas Clunking Feeling
Sep 24, 2010
I have 06 Passat 6M with 75k. When I let off or get in the gas when I am moving I will feel a clunking feeling. I dont think its the flywheel since there is no rattling like I have heard dual mass flywheels make when they fail. I dont think its the trans but I could be wrong. Don't think its the diff either since it makes no noises nor does it have resistance feeling when turning.
Pretty sure it's not the axles. I had a boot replaced within weeks I found it was torn a little. It was torn at most 6 weeks. I am thinking subframe is shifting or crappy dog bone mount or maybe even a motor/trans mount.

This truck has done it since I got (6 months ago). When I take off from a stop that is a clunk. It a bit like towing a trailer with surge brakes. Do they all do it? 2000 Extend cab 4X4 auto 235K miles.

Some days car's ride very smooth and other days you feel every bump with the suspension feeling harsh at times. For some reason after it rains the car rides better as well. Do the tires soften up when there is moisture? Sometimes the temp. outside also affect things. Is it just my imagination?

Basically when I'm coming into my driveway (I turn to the right into it) I hit with the right front first and get this shuddering sound accompanied by a sloppy feeling in the steering wheel.
Sounds like the old door stop Springs. I sometimes get it as well when hitting bumps with either side at a time but not when hitting speed bumps or bumps where both wheels hit at the same time.
Went to the dealership but they couldn't reproduce it on the newly built read that's as smooth as glass.....

When I start my passat, it blows cold air after a couple minutes as it should. I'll start driving and the air continues to blow ice cold air as it has for years BUT as soon as I stop in a parking lot for a couple minutes or park in a driveway and the car is not in motion, the air blows warm dead air and stays that muggy way until I drive again which then it'll be ice cold again.

When I turn my car to the left or right i hear a clicking sound. Usually happens when I am moving slow, like when backing into a driveway or parking spot. Could this be a tie rod, ball joint, or what? How can I be sure before just replacing parts? I need to have this fixed before I get my alignment, which has to happen before I get my rims.

A few months ago I had the oil changed in my 06 Passat and they forgot to reset the service engine display. When I stopped by later, the regular guy was not there so the mechanic tried to reset it...after which , when the car starts moving, the odometer disappears and is replaced with the speed in kilometers. Nothing important, the trip odometer is still there but I think I would prefer the original setting.How to get my miles back?

I let my father use my 99 b5. He said it was driving normal, than all of a sudden it stopped moving, and started making a grinding sound from the front end. it goes into gear, but won't move. Is this the cv axle going bad or something else?

So, for some reason my 2004 has had a vibration ever since I bought it. This vibration occurs when in R or D when the car is not moving (stop light, parking e.g.). As soon as I accelerate the vibration goes away. After I bought the car I took it to the dealer to have them fix it and they replaced the engine mounts which made it a little better but not much. Recently the vibration has gotten significantly worse and I'm not sure why. I had the car into the dealer about a month ago to replace an A/C solenoid. Also, Tucson was hit by some torrential rain and I got caught driving through some water deep enough to nearly stall the engine out.

The title pretty much explains it. Coming home today started hearing a squeal/whistle while at highway speed - almost sounds like the brake wear indicator tabs that GM is so fond of. Thought it might be the brakes, but it didn't stop with brake application and continued after coming to a full stop. Also, surging at idle, which seems to be reduced when the A/C compressor is on. The squeal happens both with and without A/C.

Car runs just fine except I do notice the RPM's moving a bit up while I'm cruising at a steady speed. Almost as if the clutch is slipping. It's an Auto, btw.

Passat moving forward very slightly every few seconds while stopped with auto stop button engaged? It happened twice to me today on a flat surface.

So I've got a clunk/rattle going over bumps at low speeds. It sounds like its coming from the front, and for the longest time I just wrote it off as a loose engine cover. Well at the latest dealer visit they finally got it on right and still, the clunk. Some info: it's only over bumps/potholes at lower speed (~35 or lower) and its not under acceleration. It doesn't favor a side when I'm turning, and it's like a clunk that rattles, if that makes sense. A mount/bushing?

I have been chasing this dam noise / clunking for awhile now. i changed the tie rod ends, cv axels and sway bar endlinks so far. (they needed to get done anyway) besides those parts all the other bushings in my front end look good.
The noise I will hear is a cracking noise when starting to move from a dead stop and when changing gears i can feel/hear a clunking in my front end. What to check???

I did F&R brakes (Adam's rotors and hawk & akebono ceramic pads) on my B6 4mo about a month ago. Ever since changing the brakes, there is a clunking noise, when going over bumps, coming from the right side, possible right front. The sound consistently goes away when I press on the brakes. It's a metal on metal clunk that you can feel and hear. Not terribly loud, but pretty annoying. What could be the cause?

Still relatively new to this car and VWs in general. I have a 2.0T sedan with 39,500 miles. I've noticed this just about every time I slow to around 40mph and then accelerate again. It's like the car can't figure out what gear it wants to be in. I don't mess around with sport mode and rarely shift manually. No real problems accelerating, just a weird shimmy when coasting from say 50mph down to 40mph and then another clunk when I accelerate again.

I noticed something clunking around in the plastic piece that is on the trunk lid itself - the piece that covers the brake lights. When the trunk goes up or down, there is a distinct noise that is something rolling around in there.
I pulled off the access panel to get to the lights, but is does the rest of it just snap off if I pull at it or use a pry tool?

My wife's 2000 Passat 2.8 V6 has been making a clunking noise when you hit the gas for quite a while. I finally got the time to look under the hood and noticed that the engine (when the car is in drive) is rearing back and making a loud clunk noise. I thought at first it was a motor mount but this picture is what I found. It is a mount that comes off a spindle that is directly in the center of the engine and right under the radiator... I have been told it is a "snub mount", "front engine mount", "torque rod mount", etc.
The problem is, when I call around to the local parts places no one has a clue what I am asking for. So what I need is for someone to ID the mount and then point me in the right direction on were to purchase it. Also if there is a write up on how to change it, that would be very useful too. I noticed that it looks a lot like the APR "snub mount" I am looking at for my 1.8T A4 and they have very detailed directions on how to change it. Is this the same thing? Can I buy it at a VW dealership?

When I drive over a bump or the car goes over a dip at speed, there is clunking sound from the front end. It seems to be much more noticeable in this cold weather, hence my current concern. I have not looked into it at all. I live on a bumpy dirt road, so the front end gets a workout.
The car has 39,800 miles. So the 40k is almost here, and the 4 years is almost here as well so I cannot just not drive the car for a while.
But if I can get a common problem fixed under warranty, I will take the time tomorrow to deal with this. The other weird thing in this cold snap is that the VW never seems to get to 190 deg, like it usually does (middle of temp gauge), it will be a few notches below. Normal situation? It will go back to 190 if I turn off the heat and drive a bit harder, but with the heat blasting (baby in car) and very mellow driving, it doesn't quite make it...

1999 V6 ... When I apply the brakes half way at any speed, I am getting clunking noise and feel. The noise is coming from the front passenger's side wheel. I don't believe it's a warped rotor. My thoughts are the brakes or suspension.
