Passat (B7) :: 2015 - Squeak / Rattle Noise In Far Right Side Of Dash?
May 18, 2016
I have a 2015 Passat TSI. Everything is wonderful except for a rattling noise I hear in the far right side of the dash. I notice it during hot weather when the car has been out. I guess it's because the plastics are expanding and some of the parts are rubbing together or something..? If this is the case, how can I identify where it is? What should I do? Could it be something else?
Here's where it is : [URL] ...

Odd problem has arisen in my wife's Passat. It's a sort of "chirp" or squeak that seems to be coming from underneath the passenger side dash. It only makes the noise while moving (whether it's 1mph or 100mph) but it's still intermittent and doesn't seem to happen under and exact driving conditions (happens most frequently when turning at low speeds, but can also happen rolling straight down the highway).
My first though would be the blower motor, sometimes it happens with the A/C off. I took it to the shop a few weeks ago and of course it stopped making the noise on the way there and it started back up on the way back. So now it's in the shop again.. Anyway, I managed to catch it on video [URL] ....

Often when sitting in my car when its turned off I will hear a clicking noise on the left side of the steering wheel under the dash. It may click 3 times. 4 times, every few minutes sometimes. Almost like a relay opening/closing.

A little back ground... Drove from NM to MN. Truck ran well averaged 13.5 mpg. hand calc'd (only .1 off of trip computer, I found it was typically a rounding difference). Shimmy and vibration from 70 to 80 mph, I am getting wheels rebalanced today. Rear AC blows very cold, front AC needs attention, coldish air blowing.
I have a squeak behind the bash on the passenger side. After about 300 miles of feeling in, under, over etc we couldn't find the squeak. After a bit we turned off the max AC and the squeak went away. Now it is a squeak with road movement but it only does it when the Max AC fan is running. When we got to Minnesota, we lifted the hood and I can move the whole AC unit and recreate the squeak/rattle. Is this movement usual? Would this be the cause of my front AC not blowing cold?

I have an 2005 VW Touareg. I purchased it 1 month ago with 8919 miles on it. I love the thing! However I have a rattle coming from the part that is below the passenger dash. The good thing is it only rattles when i hit a big bump, however when u pay 30k + this is the last thing you want to hear. See Pic. How to remove this black panel so i may fix it? Dealer was no luck the typical "I didn't hear any rattles" ....

So I had a persistent dash rattle that would mysteriously go away when my car was brought in for service. I took it in a 2nd time, again nothing. So I took the service adviser for a drive until it showed up... then it wouldn't stop.
Shop foreman drove it right after we got back and this time he heard it too... took 4 hours to re/re the dash trim and radio but they found some HVAC ducting was loose from the factory ( b4 work??) and rattling around. They put it back together and apparently put tape around the joints (like you would in your home - I guess from the factory the pipes just snap together). Car is much quieter now. Just hoping this issue doesn't come back in 4-5 years when the tape falls off? It also stopped an intermittent rattle coming from the right side of the dash.
There was also a wind buffeting noise around the drivers side doors. There is a TSB to address this now for 4-door cars. A minor adjustment to a seal and I was good to go, again much quieter. I'll have to see how it fairs at 130kph on the highway, but the buffeting I could already hear at 90kph is completely gone.

I have a rattle in the dash of my 2015 Sonata Limited. Dealer had the car for three days and replaced a part in the steering column that was supposed to solve the problem unfortunately it did not. I am reluctant to bring the car back to have the dash torn apart again. Funny thing about the rattle it appears to lessen as the car warms up.

I am trying to diagnose a buzz/squeak/rattle coming from the driver door. Once I press on the door, the noise goes away, so I would like to take the interior trim and leather off the of the door to do some more troubleshooting. How to remove the interior portion of these doors?

Just recently I am having an odd rattle almost echo vibration when I close my driver's side door. I have tried it with the window down a bit and don't notice or get the noise. It almost feels like something is loose or being vibrated around and above the door.
I haven't had much time to look into it closely - It is pretty annoying!!!

Ok everyone the good weather is back, so the drivers side window is down and, I am back to diagnosing an issue that I've been having for some time now. BTW were dealing with my DD 02 1.8t wagon. So all the time over any little bumps in the road or anything that i roll over that "shakes" the drivers side wheel I get this terrible rattle noise. I mean it sounds like I am a dump truck bombing down the road with a bunch of shovels in it......well not that extreme but that sort of shake noise. Anyway the noise however does not occur over any bumps when i even just slightly apply the brake. So I know that it has got to have something to do with the brake rotor or caliper or something on that wheel. Any common issues with brakes? I mean i doubt it is hurting the performance of the vehicle but it is extremely annoying and i feel like something isn't stable that should be until i apply my brakes.

Where another 09 owner had what he thought was a cold weather related squeak coming from the passenger side dash / windshield area. Mine does this and it's highly annoying. Here's what I've observed:
- seems to happen in cold temps, though I can't say what "cold" is...<40F perhaps?
- noticeable over bumps or whenever the car frame twists as a result of uneven road surface
- source seems to be the dash / windshield interface on the passenger side
- it's *possible* it may be coming from the top of the windshield as well
- it's very noticeable and highly irritating
Either with an 09 or earlier model? I cut a pool noodle and shoved it down between the glass and dash hoping the pressure would relieve whatever is rubbing. It appeared to work until the temps dropped into the 20s. Then it returned. I have a 2009 GLS, 5MT Sonata.

Every two or three starts in the morning i will get a strange rumbling noise from under my dash on the passenger side of the interior. what would be making this noise? What is located under the dash between the passenger compartment and the firewall? i have opened my hood to investigate but do not see anything under there that would make the noise. it almost sounds like the auto leveling compressors that are on some GM vehicles but i know this car does not have that feature.

I was sure it was coming from right side of dash...maybe around the speaker area or side window vent. I took most of the side dash pieces out, glove box air vent speaker grill no luck...pulled the inner fender well out and the inner door plastic out I found it to be the tip of the front fender where it meets the roof vibrating...you can confirm yours by tapping about 3 to 4 inches forward of the outside mirror...that part of the fender is unsupported. I put to felt pads when 3m tape wrapped around them pushed them up between the inner fender and gone...I took some pics...Toyota shop said they would have never found it...I showed them

Have a 15 250 diesel and my drivers side door has a rattle in it. Seems to be coming from around the area were the mirror buttons are. Removed that little panel and applied some silicone around the edges and seemed to work for a bit then back to noise. Seems to go away when cab heats up good or warm outside.

I recently purchased a certified pre owned 11 350 AWD and am noticing a dash rattle on the drivers side. It seems to be on the dash above the tachometer. If I apply pressure(w my hand) it seems to go away.
I know rattles come in all shapes and sizes but where would you start?
Here's a night pic: Only had it a few weeks.
This is what I have done so far.
20/10 Tint
6K Low Beam Headlights
LED Parking Lights
Quick question: By replacing the HID low beam bulb do I lose the headlight turning adjustment feature. It doesn't appear to work now.
Thinking about Plastidipping the AWD GS350 emblem

There's a creak/rattle under my dash on the passenger side. I know these cars are prone to have these problems and I'm probably lucky that this is the only one with 120K on it. What it may be before I start pulling the dash apart and doing trial and error?

I finally pulled the trigger on a dark grey Corolla S yesterday, and it turns out that it rattles on the driver side top dash. When I push on it, it stops, but it's pretty annoying and noticeable. I guess I should take it back.

I'm starting to be a little annoyed with a rattle in the passenger side dash area. I looked around to check if there was anything obvious, but I couldn't find anything...
I sometimes get that noise while driving over bumps, but oddly, I usually tend to get it when I accelerate and get the engine at a specific RPM (like some sort of resonance frequency issue?!?). What could cause this?

My GTI is a few days old. Pretty much since the first day I noticed a slight rattle coming from the middle or right side of the dash/engine bay, only under acceleration (I'm assuming under boost). You need all the windows up and radio off to hear it, but it is definitely there 8/10 times I push the gas. I know others have talked about the fuel line rattle, are the symptoms the same?
