How to disable the loud beeping that seems to occur for everything, door open, seatbelt off, car off but key still in, ahhh. It is soo loud and there must be a way to disable it or break it or something.
View 1 RepliesOK here's a new one (for me anyway). My Reg started to produce a squeaking noise from the chassis. I can't tell exactly where its coming from (yet) but it seems to occur mostly at slow speeds. I can reproduce the noise by driving over a speed bump or making a slow speed turn. I suspect an exhaust hanger as it seems to happen front and rear. I cannot reproduce it by bouncing on the corners of car though.
View 3 RepliesI have a 2004 Toureg with approximately 31000 miles. Initially the noise Whining/ Squealing - sounds like a bad belt - would occur at approximately 40 mph and continue through the drive but if I dropped down to 30-35 mph it would stop. This would happen sporadically. Now it is occuring about every time I drive. I have had it in the VW Dealer twice and they are unable to detect the problem .

View 4 RepliesOne morning last week I opened the car door and it started to beep real loud - like an alarm set off (I don't have an alarm system in my car) - It lasted 30 seconds. I went about driving the car and it ran fine. I stopped at a place - went out and came back to drive out again. As soon as I opened the door the alarm went off again. This time it lasted 20 seconds. I have not had the issue since then -(a week gone). What could be wrong. I know it happened and will happen again. I don't know if battery is low - everything works fine and car is running like a charm. battery indicator shows full when on the road. I can't recreate the problem.
View 4 RepliesIf you're in a snow storm and you begin to hear a very annoying occasional intermittent beeping, you probably have park assist and the snow is covering the sensors. Shut off the park assist (button with yellow "P" on dash) before it drives you......
View 24 RepliesMy TREG beeps every time we unbuckle the seatbelt in park. Is there anyway to change this? Sometimes you have to sit with the AC on because it is really, really hot. Or you undo your belt to reach back to the kids. Actually, it seems like it beeps every time I do anything. Open the door, lift wait off of the front passenger seat, etc... Any hack to the computer system that can fix this?
View 2 RepliesI know there is an Option to adjust the beeping sound when Lock or Unlock Doors (I tried that already). But Is that possible to make the Beeping sound really loud..I mean loud like honking the Horn. Know what I'm talking about?
On the 2001 Nissan Xterra, when I Lock the door ..sound like the horn.
I experienced the sudden onset of brake failure when driving home from work . The ABS light came on and stayed on and a loud continuous beeping alarm started sounding, and my brakes became non functional. I was fortunately able to bring my car to a halt without injury to self/ car or others. My 2010 4runner has approx. 83000 miles on it, and a local Toyota Dealership has told me that the ABS sensor needs replacement, along with the rear discs, calipers and brakes, seemingly from a simultaneous failure that the service advisor does not report having seen before.
View 15 RepliesI have had no issues with this car of 120K miles until today, although my MPG has decreased to 35 MPG. The following lights came on with a loud beeping sound : Brake warning lights, malfunction indicator light, master warning light and the hybrid system warning light. These stayed on for 25 minutes and then went off. I drove 12 miles without any issues with all the lights and sounds beeping.
View 4 RepliesEvery time I start my 1999 Ford Explorer It makes a loud beeping noise similar to seatbelt warning sound. Every 30 minutes or so it does it again as long as the vehicle stays running(even with all seatbelts fastened even if no one is sitting in the seat.
View 1 RepliesThere is a very loud engine noise that begins at about 80 mph in my treg. It seems almost as though a flap opens and I have a more free flowing exhaust. It can only be described as an increased low roar. Is there a reason for this I don't know about? It doesn't seem to be detrimental but I just want to be sure.
View 13 RepliesI thought I'd post an update about my front end shakes that I've been working on eliminating since I bought my SC. They used to occur anywhere between 55-70 mph. The remaining shake occurs around 65-70 mph. I should mention that when I added H&R 25mm wheel spacers in the back and 20mm spacers in the front. I had the shakes both before and after adding the spacers though. The following list is what I've done over the past couple of years to try to eliminate my shakes:
1) New tires - Bridgestone Potenza's, nice tires, better ride.
2) Replacement, chrome, OEM wheels. Look nice.
3) Road force balancing.
4) Steering rack was replaced with a rebuilt unit because the old one was leaking. Came with inner tie rods and I put on new outer tie rods at the same time. No change in shaking.
5) Daizen polyurethane lower control arm #2 bushings.
6) Daizen upper control arm and lower control arm bushings.
7) Daizen steering rack polyurethane bushings. Still not perfect, but this made a huge difference.
I did the steering rack bushings today. I've really, really developed a dislike for Lexus steering bushings!
Some background: I had issues with my '01 LS430 steering bushings @ 85K miles. My only choice was to replace them with OEM. I should have replaced them at 50K. They were really, really awful. The interesting thing, though, is that they physically looked pretty good. The result is amazing; nice and tight.
The bushing design of the SC is essentially the same as the LS. But luckily we have more choices with our steering rack bushings than the LS crowd. I began to hang around the GS guys because their front end is quite similar. The '98-'05 GS430 uses the same steering rack and bushings as our SC. Sewell sells both OEM and an aftermarket polyurethane solution for around $30 complete.
At this point my SC tracks very, very well. The polyurethane suspension bushings probably add a bit of harshness to my ride but I don't find it objectionable and it's a reasonable tradeoff for the added precision in the front end. I don't believe that the polyurethane steering rack bushings have any tradeoffs at all. The remaining shake that I'm experiencing is pretty darn subtle but I'm not done. I'm going to rotate the tires tomorrow and see if anything changes. I'm also looking at toe in. My front tire wear tells me that I don't have enough. I've been running factory settings but I'm going to experiment with a bit more toe due to the additional road forces created by the wheel spacers. I don't give up easily!
I have noticed a loud humming sound coming from the truck when I have the AC on. Also you can feel the vibration as well. I turn off the AC and it goes away. All this happens on an infrequent behavior but does happen daily. what gives?
View 2 RepliesCar is 2013 4dr Golf R with about 7000 miles, APR stage 1 flash, and Carbonio intake. Noise is worse when cold and becomes much more subtle once car is at normal operating temperatures. The noise only seems to occur when I go on and off the throttle, particularly when in 1st or 2nd gear, and does not seem to happen when I go over bumps making me feel that the suspension is not the issue.
I'm scheduled to have GMP in Charlotte install a HS Tuning RSR clutch next week, but if it is a transmission problem, I'll have the dealer try and fix it under warranty first.

I have a 2004 V8 with 27k I have noticed lately that the valve noise seems awfully loud. I am sure this can't be normal. I am going to take it to ;the dealer to let them listen. I can hear them now telling me that is normal.
View 24 RepliesV6 Touareg, Sunroof, roof racks (locked together at rear.) At certain speeds (40-45mph) there is a loud vibration on the roof. If the sunroof is opened or raised, the vibration stops. Nothing visible on the roof or sunroof which would suggest the cause of the noise.
View 4 RepliesI noticed when I take off quickly from a stop while turning left I hear a very loud ticking from the front left of the car. The ticking continues until I let off the gas and straiten the vehicle up. I can only hear it when I have the window down. It sounds like the lifters are ticking but I don't think it's that. I had the oil changed less than 4k ago and the oil still looks clean. I currently have about 25k on it. I tried to search the forum with no luck. What could this be?
View 3 RepliesWe are waiting for the front drive shaft? It all started a while ago when the Treg started squealing in the front when cruising, it's really loud now and very annoying. Dealer says it is ok to drive on (?). I can't believe it, this sounds not good, I kinda do not look forward to the big lock-up.
View 10 Repliesfor the last couple of weeks our 05 touareg has kinda been shakey, we knew it was time for a tune-up but hubby has been working crazy hours. Today it started squealing really loud every time he would let off the gas pedal. We went to to Midas and they said that it was misfiring in Bay 1 1-6. They told us that only VW would be able to fix it, but I found a couple of sites that sell them.
View 1 RepliesMy T-reg had Toyo Proxy tires on it when I bought it. They are quite loud when driving on the highway. VW has said that there is nothing wrong with the CV joint, so we are thinking it must be the tires. A couple of tire places have mentioned that while the Proxy is a good tire, it is not a tire to have on this car. We really want to replace them but don't want to spend $800+ on a good tire to have the same results. What tires are others driving using without getting the woo-woo-woo sound on the road?
