Phaeton :: Crunch Sound While Windows Are Up?


Feb 18, 2012

When I put the driver windows up it reached the very top I heard the sound of plastic snapping and heard several pieces landing inside the bottom of the door. The window seems secure but I am too nervous to see if it will lower for fear it won't go back up.

I looked for some drawings and think a guide may have failed. I plan to remove the door panel and investigate but the pictures from the FAQ section are no longer hosted so looking for a link to a good write-up?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Crunch Sound From Front End

I have about 26,500 miles on my 2012 elantra and recently went on a trip. While I was there I noticed that if I go over bumps at an angle then the front end makes a crunching sound!!??

For example, when I was turning into a parking lot the parking lot sloped downward and I drove in at an angle and this crunching sound happened. I didn't scrape the front end or anything and it's happened several other times. It sounds like a shock or strut problem.

Accent RB (2012+) :: Crunch Sound When Applying Brakes

I haven't noticed it before but applying the brakes after driving thru snow I get an awful crunch sound. I have stopped the car a few times to look and it appears the wheel wells are clogged with slush but I don't know if that's whats causing it. After the crunching sound if I'm driving on a clear road there is no noise if I brake. Its much worse than say the crunch you get if the brakes are wet. Whats up with this?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Brakes Make A Crunch Or Creaking Sound When Pedal Is Being Pressed Or Released

Ive got a 2011 Sonata GLS with 111k miles. I purchased the car new. For the past several months the brakes make a crunch or creaking sound when the pedal is being pressed OR released. The funny thing is it only happens when driving forward. When I apply the brakes while reversing, the brakes are silent. I did a pad slap at 68k and have taken everything apart, cleaned and re-lubed to no avail. The sound can be heard at the front wheels when someone else works the pedal while the car is parked. Pads have about 50% thickness. Pads? Calipers, master cylinder?

Phaeton :: How To Tint The Windows

I took my Phaeton to my car detailer and asked him to tint the windows. He told me that it could not be done unless he removes the door panels and door frame to better acces the edges of the side windows. Do any of you had their windows tinted and how was it done?

Phaeton :: 2007 - Windows Steam Up

I have an intermittent problem on my 2007 3.0 whereby the windows sometimes steam up seriously and I have to switch on the heated rear window and the demist function for the front screen. This clears most of it but not all. The local dealer has checked the car today and can find nothing wrong, they checked for fault codes and also checked the A/C and heating units and all is well.

Phaeton :: Power Windows Making Noise When Roll Down And Up

Having issues with the power windows making a funny noise when you roll it down and up? It is happening to the right front and right rear windows. Sounds like something is broken inside. Both windows do go up and down perfect , just thinking its on its last legs and worried one day it wont go back up. The problem is not like a motor burning out, more like something is crackling inside. What is weird both windows have the same noise.

Prius (2004-09) :: Crunch When Going Over Speed Bumps

My dad recently backed into my front right side. There was very little exterior damage but it still had a dent. I took out the dent and checked under for any visible damage and didn't see any. Over the past 3 months something has developed a little worse. It started as a small little crunch on the right side when going over speed bumps. Now on turning left hard or stuff like that and I hear it crunch. Its worse with more weight. It sounded like plastic but there's no loose plastic or anything. It's 05 Prius with 150k and I don't think there were any replaced shocks done. I bought it used.

Passat (B6) :: Crunch Noise From Front End When Hit A Bump

I've just recently gotten an 06 passat 2.0t and had some questions. When I drive the car everything sounds fine until I hit a bump then I get this crunch noise from the front end. Crunch is the best way I can think to describe it because its not really a squeak. I'm new to the b6 but not dubs at all. I just had to part ways with my mk2 which I put alot of wrench time in on and I've done minor tinkering on my wifes mkv rabbit.

Volvo - S60 :: Crunch / Squeak When Go Over Small Bumps

I have 1, possible 2 motor mounts in my 2001 Volvo S-60 that kind of crunch/squeak when I go over small bumbs. Actually, the lower passenger side mount does the majority of the crunching noise. The upper mount (visible when you lift the hood) does it more so when its cold and the rubber contracts.

I'm not 100% sure the lower motor mount is what's making that crunching noise - but I'm pretty sure that's what it is as the suspension is in decent shape.

My question is, is it possible to change the lower motor mount myself? I've heard that the engine needs to be supported when doing this, but is that so when you need to only change one? Also, does it actually need to be changed or would any kind of lubricant will work?

Ferrari :: Transmission Would Crunch When Engaging Reverse

In today's show, a caller with a Ferrari noted that sometimes the transmission would crunch when engaging reverse. I've never had the pleasure of driving a Ferrari, but two Porsches I owned (in my single days) had similar issues. There is no synchro for reverse gear.(Ferarri may be the same) So if I idled in neutral to get the gears moving and then shifted to reverse quickly, the gears would crunch as they meshed. A little drag from the clutch not disengaging completely or the pilot bearing dragging would make it worse. Two solutions are

1)let the transmission coast down by holding the clutch in for a few seconds before engaging reverse, or
2) shift to second, then straight to reverse.

Passat (B5) :: Serious Pop And Crunch When Rear Window Rolled Up

I rolled up my left rear window a week ago and got a serious pop and crunch from it. I now have taken the time to take it apart and found that the cable has snapped and the carriage is in pieces. I'm not going to bother replacing any of it. To the point.. the motor has a crap load of wires going to it. I would like to get rid of it all together, brace up the rear window(s) and never look back. Is there any reason why I could not just unplug and remove the motor and its control or is there something else running form or through it too?

Prius (2010-12) :: Rubber Crunch-like Noise From Right Control Arm

My Gen III is currently at 95k miles, and the large rear bushing on the lower control arms have had small tears for some time.

I have also been experiencing a rubber "crunch-like" noise from the right control arm. I have been able to silence the noise temporarily by spraying silicone lube on the bushing, but the noise returns after a month or so.

While it is a bit subjective, the handling has noticeably degraded compared to when new.

Phaeton :: 2004 Purr Sound Like Engine Sound

We just purchased a 2004 Phaeton V8 last weekend. We are trying to decide if this sound that we are hearing is because something is wrong, or whether that is just the way they sound. It sounds almost like a purr, like engine noise. However, it is related to how fast you are traveling, not to whether the accelerator is being pressed. The absolute best way to describe it - its like there is a playing card in the wheel spokes (but muted)!!! Its not bothersome or loud, but just odd.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Metallic Clicking Sound - With The Windows Down

2012 Prius 3 with solar roof. Most of the time when I go over little divest in the road; just large enough to barely feel, I hear a metallic clicking sound from the front passenger side of the vehicle. It is only audible with the windows down. It only happens if I am going faster than around 10mph. Sometimes I hear a similar sound from the drivers side, but not as much as the passenger side. I do not usually hear it when hitting larger bumps that work the shocks a bit harder.

It really sounds like some loose bits of metal contacting each other. I do not see anything obvious with a quick visual inspection, but I have not raised the vehicle to really get a good look down there.

Golf VI R :: Clicking Sound Audible With Windows Down Over 15 Mph

I have a clicking sound that seems to be coming from under the middle to rear of the car. Its audible with the windows down at anything over 15 mph. It sounds like some ball bearings are clicking around randomly and it's driving me crazy. I have continued to drive and nothing has hard failed yet after 2000 miles. My thought it was a front inner cv that went (grease all over) so I replaced that today, but no affect on the noise.

Other than wheel bearings, the only stuff back there is the haldex and shaft which could be big money. I know the shop I used had to remove the drive shaft to put in the exhaust- anything I can/should check on that?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Oil On Inside Of Right Rear Tire - Creak / Crunch Coming From That Area

I've been noticing some (a lot) of oil on the inside of my rear tire. I went ahead and drained my diff fluid to check if the was any left and there was but I replaced it and cleaned the tire (hoping I just drove through something) and it's back again already. I don't know much about axles, what seal usually holds stuff back in there? What parts should I expect to replace other than the seal and any brake components effected? I noticed a creak/crunch coming from that area but seems to crunch with suspension articulation so not sure if it's related but I have the feeling it is.

Touareg :: Hissing Sound Coming From Rear Windows When AC Is On?

Noticed hissing sound coming from the rear windows when the AC is on... It's very annoying so I always crank up the volume of the music. Funny thing is when you open one of the rear windows slightly and the sound is gone. I thought it was from the roof rack but it's not.......coz the sound is there when the car isn't moving too.....as long as the AC is on.....and the rear windows are closed tight.....

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Windows Sound Harsh Rolling Up And Down

I just had my front passenger window replaced due to an attempted break in, and I noticed now that my window sounds very harsh rolling up and down versus my other three windows. The window goes up and down at the same speed as the other windows that wasn't touched, but now its just not as quiet as the others; which to me now is more of an annoying sound.
