Heard a warble/screech/grind in Touareg at temperatures of 15 degrees or below. This sound only occurs when the vehicle is cold, the temperature is below 15 F degrees, and you are decelerating from less than 30 mph or so. Doesn't matter if you are braking or not.
View 24 RepliesI bought a used 2014 F-sport and I took it to the dealer since the brakes are making the screech noise on low speed cold stops. The dealership stated that the brakes and rotors are all aftermarket and won't touch them.
My question (from searching and reading) is, any aftermarket rotors for the F-Sport RWD?
Awful belt noise that erupts during cold starts. I realize that this usually means a replaced belt. I want to know how to go along diagnosing which belt and then how to replace it. Here's the symptoms:
1. Awful belt screech when turned on, goes away within 20 seconds
2. Belt noise comes back when turning the wheel to back out of a right driveway
3. The STEERING WHEEL feels like it has no power steering WHILE the screeching is happening.
4. The headlights (when on) dim for about 3 seconds
5. All these symptoms happen when the temperature is below freezing and it's a cold start.
How is the belt screeching connected to the steering wheel being tough I turn?
Started up the Touareg last night to come home from work and immediately heard a new noise. It is loud and clearly audible from inside the vehicle. I was able to isolate it to something inside the front driver's side fender, something above the wheel well. Sounds like a cross between a blender and a leaf blower (a device that I could certainly use at this time of the year.) Note - the noise goes away when turn off the climate control system (by lowering the fan speed all the way.)
View 9 RepliesI recently replaced the 2 rear Pirelli 19"s on the back with Michelin Diamaris 4x4. I left the slightly worn 2 front Pirellis on thinking NO big deal. WRONG! By not replacing all 4 tires at the same time I noticed a "clunking" noise coming from under the vehicle while under 20mph.
After trouble shooting at 2 different dealerships the second one concluded that I need 2 new front tires. At first they thought that the left front drive shaft was bad but after installing a new one "clunk" was still there. Dealer removed 4 wheels/tires from a new Touareg and placed them on my '04 and "clunk" went away. My '04 has the 4 corner air suspension and locking differentials as well.
I have an 05 V8. When backing out of a parking spot at close to full lock I feel it binding a bit. Also, occasionally when pulling forward (at or close to full lock) it will bind for a few seconds, then it feels like it releases. I recently drove a long (10 hours) trip and when I parked it when hot it seemed to bind/chatter even worse.
I also noticed that on slow hard turn (i.e parking lot) there seems to be a low pitched moaning sound from the rear end area. It it possible it a dreaded stepper motor, even on a 05? It is an early 05. What this might be before doing this so they don't jerk me around and say there's nothing wrong.
Our brakes sends out a loud screech but only while it's backing up. (78k miles)
Is it time to change the pads?
Should we service the brakes at the dealership or private auto shop?
2005 Prius. 190k miles. In San Diego, so hot summers...not Phoenix hot...90s. Mild winters. No san or salt on roads.
5k oil and filter regularly. Got new HV battery at 142k. Changed the coolant switching valve done . Coolant pump changed under Recall. Steering midshaft done. Front pads replaced at 120k. Rear shoes getting very close to replacement. Trans fluid change at 120k per manual and at 190k. Plugs at 120k.
Two new issues: when coasting in N, pretty quiet. Driving or coasting in D, there is a growl. At 35-40 mph, wind noise masks it. Frequency increases with speed. It isn't getting worse. And no better after the transaxle fluid change. Can't be CV or bearings because it only happens when in motion in D. No lights on MFD. I have not looked for codes.
I have scanned my car with no faults codes on VCDS, basic adaptation setting have been done on the gearbox and i have let it run in and adapt but im still getting this noise.
Im certain it is Dsg related, With the windows down you can hear it as i pull away in 1st gear, It does not make the noise in 2nd or any other gears. If i move the dsg shifter from P to D or from N to D even R it slightly makes the pulling off kind of sound which is my concern.
My flywheel was recently changed, Clutch packs looked healthy and the DSG fluid/filter were also changed at the same time. I have uploaded a video of the noise which is in the link below. When i took the video the car was simply left in P idling but it still made this sound intermittently like it does each time my car pulls off.
The noise can be replicated each time i pull off in D when the gear selection is in 1st. This is strange as simply left in park it was also making this noise when no gears are being engaged.
I dont have any of the previous flywheel symptoms which were vibration at idle in park and the constant rotational flywheel knocking sound that was there previously. This sound can always be replicated when i pull off.
I just got home tonight from work and was rolling up the windows and I heard a pop noise and my window fell inside the door. So after some time I got the panel off to the metal plate and took out the two rubber circles pieces and I can see that the front track had a broken plastic clip, after I touched it, it fell inside the door. So after looking into this it seems to be common. So where can I get a replacement piece and how do I install it. I can't seem to get the metal panel off, does it even need to come off or do I install the clip through the little circle hole.
View 12 RepliesDealer over filled the oil and now during cold start ups I am getting a bad noise form the engine that sounds like bad tappets or clanking metal. this does go away after a few seconds. Should I be alarmed?
View 8 RepliesI have a 2007 Camry SE V6. Under moderate to hard acceleration, it sounds like a deep throaty sound coming from where the intake/throttle body is located, almost as if I have a SRI, but I do not. I checked for anything loose, hoses, airbox, etc. Then checked the intake resonator below and to the left of the battery, all seemed normal. Everything seems normal! Only happens when I push the accelerator a little more than usual, for example, when I go on the highway.

07 Camry SE
Just started the other day. Ecuador codes at p030p035p0411. The noise only happens while accelerating past 10% throttle in any gear.

I have a 97 F150 4.6l, and this morning I noticed a noise that sounds like air sucking in. You hear it mostly at idle, the truck is idling where it typically does, but occasionally it will "bog" down a bit for a couple seconds, but then keeps running normally. Anyways the noise seems to be coming from the lower drivers side. Under the dash/steering column, and around the front drivers wheel well. Could it be a vacuum leak? The truck does have lean codes. I'm not sure if this is relevant but if I'm at a stop and I release the brake to accelerate the noise will stop for a split second once the pedal is released....
View 1 RepliesWhen I open the drivers side door I hear a mechanical noise like the seat is moving back or sideview mirrors are adjusting, you know that kind of grindy electric mechanical sound. But I don't see anything moving, just hear a motor working? What is moving or supposed to be moving? I have a 2012 2.5L SEL no memory seats.
View 2 RepliesTonight while driving I heard a rattling noise under the engine, come to a stop and the engine cuts off. I pop the hood, get a jump and nothing. So I check the oil and it is dry... I changed it 4 months ago myself, it is a mystery how it leaked. No light came on, no oil leaks anywhere..
Is there any hope in having the engine turn over again? If so how should I go about trying to turn it? Engine only has 61000 miles on it.
2008 VR6 Touareg with 71,000 miles. When he starts it cold the idle jumps around and is very rough. After 30 seconds or so it calms down, but you can tell it's still just not right. It also makes this puffing sound especially around the exhaust. At least puffing is how I'd describe it, maybe I can take a video of it at some point. No visible issues anywhere in the engine bay or anything that looks out of place. I ran an auto scan with VAG-COM and I pulled absolutely no faults. I found that puzzling.
View 2 RepliesI have a 2010 LS460 AWD with 42k miles and notice when I am making a medium to wide angle turn at parking lot speeds the front wheels make an intermittent metallic clicking/ticking noise that can be clearly heard when the windows are down and stereo is off. The noise can be heard when turning in either direction, driving forward or in reverse, and both accelerating and slowing down. Doesn't seem to happen when I'm turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary. Dealer suspects noise is due to dry contact areas between pads, calipers, and anti rattle springs and wants to perform a brake service for $330 before they're willing to investigate further (car still under warranty till end of the year). If noise is brake-related shouldn't it only occur when I'm applying the brakes? What should I do?
View 7 RepliesI have a slight squeak noise that is only heard at idle some of the time. I replaced the belt, idler, and tensioner when I noticed just spinning the alternator gives the sound I'm hearing. Is it something I should be concerned about? It isn't noisy all the time, only sometimes. I don't want to fix what isn't broken, but I don't want it to leave me stranded one day either.
View 3 RepliesI have a rattling noise coming from rear passenger seat. More noticible in cold weather and over bumps.
