Last night on my drive home, I was listening to my iphone 5 with the apple lighting cord. I have an aftermarket kenwood kdc-x697 head unit. I also have all the correct wiring harness, and antenna harness. So last night my head unit started skippy through the song being played on my iphone. I didn't know what the deal was so I removed the face plate. Put the face plate back on and my head unit did not turn on. Once I got home, I pulled the single din head unit out and the unit started back up. Now my passenger front door speaker has a crackling/whine noise.
Last night and all this morning I have searched and have found a lot of monsoon issues with wiring. However the majority of finds all ended up with someone going to the dealer and never doing this issue themselves. How to fix this or where to start. I'm going to pull the radio now. I do know that most of the time a whine in the speakers is from alternator whine which is true but like I said it only happens to this speaker.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Calipers Making Clanking Noise - Brake Stiffening Kit?
So I noticed a few months ago that a clanking noise came from the front of my GLI when I hit bumps. This noise went away if I had my foot on the brake, so enough vortex searches came up with loose caliper carrier pins.
I ordered the brake stiffening kit last month, but have yet to install it. Now just the other day, I heard this crazy noise come from my brakes entering my garage. It was like a loud 'click" when I engaged the brakes hard enough and I could repeat it many times. I know, I am silly for not getting the kit installed sooner, but I want to make sure that this 'click' is likely related to the carrier pins before I go taking the brakes apart in my garage.
I only ask because my car has 95k on it and is possibly on original suspension, so bushings and mounts might be starting to go.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Loud Noise / Vibration As Soon As Car Started
I have an 04.5 jetta gli ... Mods are unitronice stage 2, eurojet tb exhaust, cold air intake, diverter valve, nothing else really.
So, whenever I'm driving alone my car is fine. But once I have a really heavy person in my car, or maybe 2 people in it, as soon as I start the car I hear a vibration. It sounds as though it could be my exhaust? Because before I had it installed months ago it would never do this.
Also, as I accelerate I feel and hear that it is bogging like my car is struggling to go fast and i do see some signs of loss of power. So is it the exhaust?
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2005 - Accidentally Downshifted To First Gear At 50 Mph / Tranny Making Noise
I drive a 2005 Jetta GLI 1.8T 6 speed O2M transmission.
I was redlining 1st 2nd and it wouldn't go into 3rd tried 2-3 times finally did. but I believe it went into first instead! I think I was driving like 50-60 mpg I don't know. Anyways it JERKED BADLY. I think right after it started making a noise. sounds like the manifold or downpipe gasket. I know the flex part of my cheap downpipe started like tearing and ripping, so I thought that just broke thru. maybe I don't know. I drove the car home. tranny worked flawlessly. every gear very smooth like always. (redline tranny fluid). at home I jacked it up took the bumper off. and listened where the sounds were coming from. not power steering. it sounds like a hose is loose. but I checked nothing. I put my ear next to the tranny. sounds like it coming from there. nothing changes when I depress the clutch. when I start driving the sound goes away I think. can't hear the cause of aftermarket exhaust. and stage 2 chip tunning APR 93.
After all, that believing it the downpipe. I put everything back on and drove it about 10 miles and this other sound came in. happened in 2nd after like 4-5krpm. maybe it was there from the beginning. I drove it slowly under 3k. but this sound is like rattling and kinda vibrates the clutch a little. it happens after I accelerate and take my foot off the gas pedal. kinda when slowing down. I drove parked the car 2 hours later drove it home and 2-5th gear was making this rattling sound now.
I don't know what to do. I need to drive a car. should I drive it or not? do I need a new tranny/ is it fixable? should I park the car and take the tranny off/
how tightly are the flywheel bolts suppose to be tightened? something loose?
I did an auto to 6-speed swap.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: 2002 - Front End Making Noise When Decelerating Or Holding A Steady Speed
Ok my 2002 337 has 87,600 miles on it and for quite a while now its been making a lot of font end noise, its most noticeable at 25-30 MPH, decelerating or holding a steady speed, it disappears when your accelerating hard, and at high speeds. But the noise is horrible, its like a buffeting
Its been serviced regularly, since the noise I've done, new front brake rotors, new pads, wheel bearings, inner and outer CV boots replaced, CV joint checked. My local mechanic who's done a lot of work for me isn't sure what to think, he said try rotating the tires because it may be tire noice on the road? Im running some generic tires, the brand on the tire says "sunny" but they appear to be a good performance tire, and handle well
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: GLI Making Sound In Third Gear When Let Off The Gas
ok i don't know if it is a problem or if it is alright but my 18t GLI makes a weird sound in third when I let off the gas. kind of like a whine/grind. I asked the guy i bought it from and he said it has been this way since he bought it too. It sounds like it might involve the turbo but thats just a guess. it only does it in third gear.

View 15 RepliesGTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Downpipe Installed / Car Started Rattle
I just installed a brand new 42DD downpipe in my car about two weeks back. About a week later, I started noticing a rattle that I hadn't heard before, coming from the undercarriage, about mid way back, where I assumed the downpipe is. I only hear the rattle at low RPMs, like 1000-1500 revs, when I pull away from a light. I can stop the rattle by giving it more gas before letting the clutch all the way out, but if it's something I can easily fix myself, I'd rather just do it.
I searched some DIYs and found this. [URL]..................................... I bought new sets of stage 1 dogbone mounts that I need to put in soon, probably next week when I'm on break, if that will remedy it.

So I was wondering, what my problem might be. I went to go start my car after work 3 days ago and it cranked half way started and shut down. The things that I have checked are fuses both at the battery and in the side panel, fuel pump relay... It clicks when I turn the key, fuel pump.. Its getting 12 volts when the key is in the on position. Now a buddy of mine had me roll down the driver window and arm the alarm then open the door from the inside and the alarm did not go off nor does the dome lights come on. And the the fuel pump does not prime. He told me its a food lever switch. It's not recognizing that the door is open and that it's linked with the fuel pump that's why it's not priming and it's not starting.
