Prius V :: Rattling Noise When Steering Is Turned Left Or Right
The prius alpha i own has this rattling noise when the steering is turned left or right. A local mechanic advised to lubricate the opening on the top of shocks, I couldn't find the Lube spray by Liquor Moli or 3M liquid Grease. I tried a spray by WD-40 Specialist Water Resistant Silicone Lubricant, but no result .
I have this Grease (attached pic).(desperate measure). Shall I apply this? And how?
Prius (Gen 3) :: Popping Noise When The Wheel Is Turned Left Or Right
Installed some tein h techs few weeks ago but I started noticing a "popping" when the wheel is turned left or right at low speeds. Driving down the road and hitting bumps is fine,, but at low speeds left or right I hear a weird "pop" or click coming from the front shocks.

My Prius v fan for the heat started this low bass sound when it is turned up. It seems that it causes the vehicle to race! If I shut the heat fan off while parked, the vehicles takes a few seconds to return to "normal".

I had my Prius for almost 4 years and I'm used to all the hybrid noises: brake pump after opening the door, emission control pump hours after driving, high pitched inverter noise in EV, etc. This is different. Very faint and I only noticed it because I opened the hood right after driving. The car was completely off, but there was some small electric motor activated somewhere inside the engine. Is this electric coolant pump?

On our 2008 (26,000 miles), I've started to notice a "buzzing" noise (best way to describe it) from under the hood when the air conditioner is first turned on. Never noticed it before, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.
If I drive the car with the ac on, then park the car for 30 minutes or so, it seems to not occur when restarting the car and the ac. A little vague, I know. Sound normal to you?
Prius (2010-12) :: Strange Noise While Braking And After Turned Off
I have a 2010 Prius which I have had for a couple years. I get this strange noise from time to time that happens while braking. It starts, it will do it for a while, and then go away. When it's doing it, It will also happen after I turn my car off when the engine does it's shutdown phase. Occasionally, when my car is not moving and the engine is off, if I push my brakes it will do it too.
The noise comes from the driver side, by the firewall. the noise is a loud rachety sound, and it does not sound healthy or normal. I took my car to the Toyota dealership 3 different times explaining what was going on, but since it is random in when it happens, they have always told me everything looks normal. (of course I am out of my 1 year warranty too I got when I purchased it used.)
Is this noise something I should be worried about? What it is? Last thing I want to do is burn out some component of my car when I can save it now.

View 1 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Noise Coming From Front When Vehicle Turned On And Warmed Up
I stuck my phone down by the electric motor and recorded this while the car was running:
My '06 has been making this odd noise coming from the front of the vehicle. It's coming from somewhere under the hood on the right side (the driver's side), and I think it's under or next to the electric motor.
It happens when warmed up, and only when the vehicle is turned on. It doesn't seem to be related to the ICE, because the noise happens regardless if the ICE is running or not. In fact it happens rarely, so when I heard it I jumped out and tried to locate it (and recorded it with my phone).
Prius (2004-09) :: Winding Down Kind Of Noise From In Front Of Driver After Car Turned Off
I am brand new to the forum. Just got a 2008 prius from a small father-son dealership and am getting used to the new sounds (or lack thereof) under the hood. I am getting a " winding down" kind of noise from in front of the driver after I turn the car off. it does not happen unless I have driven at least a short distance: i cant just run it in the driveway and then shut down and hear it. Is this normal, and what might it be?

I always take care of my car oil changes on time. And in the last week my check engine light turned on for a few hours then turned off. And today it turned on again. I kinda regret getting rid of my scan gauge now.

I noticed recently when I walk away from my car I hear a whirring noise as if a fan or belt were slowly winding down. It does stop eventually but I'm wondering if something was torqued or moved out of place to cause this noise, that I don't remember hearing before.

What the random sound is when turning off the car? It almost sounds like a pump is running or a motor for something. Doesn't happen every time, so I can't get anyone else to listen to it. Wonder if it has something to do with the turbo?

There is a fan noise every 30 seconds in the engine compartment behind the passengers headlight area. Is there a fan motor there? Could it be disconnected without hurting anything? I can't determine if there is a fuse related to this or not.
View 3 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: 2016 - Buzzing Noise When Fan Is Turned On
I am just over a week and 500 miles into owning my gti, and so far it has been overwhelmingly positive. That being said, I have had a couple of minor issues. Today I went for a drive and at some point I turned the stereo volume off and noticed a buzzing noise. After playing around with things I was able to determine the buzzing was happening only when the fan was turned on. It was there at all speeds and got a little louder with each fan speed increase. It's not really that loud, but the fan in my Matrix had no noise except the woosh of the air. Just curious if maybe it is a difference that is common in the gti? I don't want to go rushing to the dealer unless it's something that really needs to be looked at

Saturn - SL1 :: Loud Noise When Engine Turned On
I drive a 1997 Saturn SL1, 295,000 miles. Great car. Good gas mileage, very, very low maintenance. I cleaned the engine about three years ago with an engine cleaner (Gunk?). When I turned on the engine it started to make a loud noise. The best way to describe it is a loud whining noise. It appears to be coming from the AC. When I turn on the AC the noise gets quieter (but it's still annoying). The noise does not appear to have affected the car's performance, but it is loud and annoying. What the problem is?

Have a pulsing noise when the HVAC is turned on (see other post about HVAC pulsing noise etc). I've traced the sound to behind the glove box, I suspect near where the cabin air filter is. I believe the blower motor is back there too? How to remove glove box to get to blower assembly...
