Volvo - V70 :: 2000 - Rattling Noise Get Louder When Coasting

I have a 2000 Volvo V70 XC wagon AWD. I just purchased this car in January and it needed a lot of love and care. Here's my car question: I have a rattling noise that started about a week ago. Just this morning (on my way to the mechanic ironically/luckily) the rattling became very loud and apparent. The noise sounds something like a piece of metal rattling around in an empty coffee can. The noise seemed to go away when I was accelerating, get louder when coasting, and then slowed down in frequency (not volume) as the speed of my car slowed down.

My mechanic also isn't sure what's wrong. He has had himself and 2 other mechanics look at, in addition to hooking it up to machines and making phone calls to Volvo. He says the noise is unmistakably coming from my drive-shaft and that it sounds like it is traveling from one end of the drive shaft to the other. He also said it's odd because the place that the noise is coming from is just a shaft and shouldn't be making any noise?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Engine Sound Much Louder Like Revving / Humming

In my 2007 Sonata, I hit a poorly placed high manhole cover in a dip in the road, in the dark, going 30MPH, whacked it good before I could adjust...

I then pulled the car over, it seemed to go dead, then the car did crank back up, the engine sounded much louder, like a loud rev/hum, not quiet like usual.

I next drove a mile to a c-store, transmission seemed OK, no leaks, did see a check engine light briefly, but it disappeared. Car cranked OK, headed home, same sound right at cranking and at moderate speed.

Finally, I jacked the car up on the front left, from research appears that the plastic engine shields got smacked good along the front and near the right tire and bent back quite a bit on the left side. There seems to be no other structural damage that my untrained eye could see, just one indention you'll see in a couple of the photos that I think is part of the car design at that spot.

Again, no leaks, no smoke, no caution lights of any kind now.

Photos are attached...

My Hyundai's engine now sounds like a Mustang! Hoping it's just the engine noise from these plastic covers now being bent/destroyed in some spots, exposing the engine and the typical noise you'd hear without them...

Golf VI R :: Slight Whirling Noise When Coasting In Gear

So today I got to 800+ miles and when I'm coasting in gear... When I get it to the point (by the gas pedal) where the transmission is not loaded so you can slide out of gear...(you guys that understand power shifting know what I am talking about...) I hear a whirling noise.... Whoo-Whoo-Whoo- etc...I hear it sounds near the clutch (guesstimating since its near the front/dashboard)

I would have to drive it another 500 or so miles to get home. No mods, started trip with about 300 miles... Did not use cruise control.. Varied speed around 60-90 mph to keep the rpms moving since there isn't a lot of mileage here... Idk what else to say... This is really bugging me... Never launched the car... And I did search, only results I got was from other parts of the forums saying wheel bearing...

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2.4L - Pulsating Humming Noise When In Gear And Coasting

My 2004 Santa Fe 2.4L manual transmission with 200,000km on it has this hard to explain noise when in gear and coasting. This is when my foot it off the gas and say I'm going down a slight incline. There is a pulsating humming noise, worse in the lower gears that coincides with the engine holding the car back. This only seems to happen during coasting and not when down gearing to slow down. And even when coasting if I press even ever so slightly on the gas so the engine is not holding the vehicle back, it goes away.

The clutch has never been replaced and I'm somewhat assuming it may be the clutch becoming worn.

Touareg :: Gear Lash Noise From Drive Train When Coasting

I have a V6. Very happy with it...no real problems, but I do notice a fair amount of drive train gear lash noise when the vehicle is coasting and the windows are open. Is this normal? It not like it sounds really bad and hasn't gotten worse in the 2500 miles since I have my Treg...but I would like to know if it is normal.

Cavalier - Chevrolet :: Coasting With Stalled Engine With Automatic Transmission In Gear

The car is 1985 Chevrolet Cavalier with automatic transmission.I had the engine stall several times and I coasted sometimes for a quarter of a mile with the transmission in gear. Can this cause damage to transmission?Later on I wised up and moved the shifter to neutral when the engine stalled.When I coasted in gear, I was getting some vibration that smoothed out when I put it in neutral.

Prius (2010-12) :: Odd Noise While Revving In Neutral Gear

Today while driving, I was declining down a rather steep grade. I had my cruise control set at 65mph. As I was driving, I heard an odd noise, almost like my Prius was "revving" in a neutral gear. The battery was at a full or near full charge when this happened.

I found somewhere "What you're hearing is the engine braking - just what you'd expect when using B. The engine spins (pumps air) to slow down. At some point, if you have heavily charged your battery on the descent, the engine will be spun by the electric motor just to bleed off that excess electricity."

Only problem being, I was not in the "B" gear, I was in "D".

Saturn - Aura :: Transmission Jump Back In Gear After Coasting At Low Speeds In Traffic

Has experienced transmission seem to jump back in gear after coasting at low speeds in traffic. When I push on the pedal after coasting it jumps back in gear and is very frustrating. I have had it checked out at dealer and they told me they re-programmed the Transmission which scared me. But that didn't fix the problem. Will be taking it in one more time before I decide what to do.

Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Occasionally Slams Into 2nd Gear When Coasting In Parking Lot Or Driving Slowly

Have this problem where Santa Fe when coasting in a parking lot or driving slowly on the road, that their is a bit of a slam into second gear in the auto transmission?

Reason I am asking this is that I have this problem and own a 2013 KIA Sorento, but understand the Santa Fe V6 shares the same motor and tranny. I also read that one long term test of the Santa Fe on the web had this very same problem, but in the end after happening several times, stopped happening.

After reading much info, I ordered a Transmission Temp Sensor as this seemed to work on some cars, but it's really a hit or miss thing.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2000 - Code PO171 - Intermittently Coasting At 20mph Out Of Gear

2000 ranger 2.5 245000 miles. code po171 and idle problem has come back. Replace ICV, EGR, MAF, PVC, check fuel pres, air cleaner, plugs, wires, O2, check for vac leaks, Intermittently coasting at 20mph out of gear (stick shift) engine revs to 2500 rpm and holds until i brake to a stop then it idles down. So I disconnect the ICV and it runs perfect. (its a new ICV) something is telling the ICV to open up. a month ago it did the same thing when i replaced the EGR the idle problem cleared up so I thought that was it.

There is a relationship between the truck speed and the engine speed but how does the engine speed know the truck is moving when its out of gear. It work perfect for a month all of a sudden it starts this problem again. I am thinking of taking it to the ford dealer for a diagnostic test but I don't know how specific they can get on whats wrong I don't what to them to just say "oh you have a vac leak" . . . I know a 171 could be vac leak but the problem is so dramatic and off again on again it seems more like a part problem then a vac hose is either leaking or not.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2000 V6 - Ticking And Revving At Idle And In Low Gear

My 2000 Ranger (4.0L, V6, manual tranny) is acting weird in first and second gears as well as idle. I hear a ticking and then the engine revs. At idle, I see the tach needle move a little. While driving, the truck jerks. It's a smooth ride once I move into third gear.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: 2010 - Motor Started Missing When Revving Out 3rd Gear To 5500 Rpm

i own a 2010 corolla s with only 3000 miles on it. it is a 5 speed and the other day, when revving out 3rd gear to 5500 rpm, my motor started missing, and my check engine, vsc, and trac control lights came on. i turned off the motor and then started it back up and it ran fine but the dummy lights stayed on. i took it to the dealer and they check the codes and it showed that cylinder 2 missed. after explaining to them how it happened and taking a service technician for a ride, they took off the valve cover on my motor, and seen that 3 rocker arms had FALLEN OFF and they tried making me pay $700 to fix it because i was "over revving the motor". I was told that the rocker arms cant withstand that high of rpms and they will fall off due to the floating design "not bolted". but after 2 hours of arguing, they said they would cover it, but only this 1 time. I don't understand why they have the rev limiter set at 6,300 on these cars, when the rocker arms are capable of coming off at 5,500.

Golf VI R :: Road Noise When Coasting Only

I just bought a 2013 Golf R and have been driving around with some kind of road noise since the day I got it. The sound occurs when coasting only, and is most audible above 55mph. It is best described as a mid-high-pitched hum or drone, kind of like a much quieter semi (when you drive next to them on the highway).

I took the car in to a VW dealer and they were able to hear the sound on a test drive but were unable to diagnose the source. They rotated tires, checked all bearings/hubs, and eventually called VW to find out that it is a "characteristic of the vehicle" and that VW is aware of it and nothing more.

Aside form the noise there are absolutely no issues with the car and it only has about 8k miles on it...

Golf IV R32 :: Exhaust Is Louder After Flash Upgrade

I recently flashed my car and not to happy about it. For me the car feels a little different than stock. My exhaust is louder and when I start the car now is doesn't start from high revs down to low anymore. I think I'm going to take it back and remove the software from the car. I personally don't like the feel as to stock.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Louder GLX Noise At 1500 RPM

Just to give a quick background, I recently had a transmission issue which I'm still getting sorted out. Mech is ordering me a re-manned valve body. Was getting codes on all solenoids. This was after having the trans go into limp mode. I don't know if this noise has something to do with that or not though I doubt it. I have the youtube link below with the actual sound. I sat the phone on the windshield with the hood popped so the sound is pretty loud. It's not nearly as noticeable inside the car. In fact I've never noticed it before so it may have been there all along or it just recently happened. As you can hear, right at about 1500rpm is the noise. Once I get above or below that the noise reduces. I also have another softer rattle sound at about 2300 RPM or so which I'm 95% sure is the shifter rod brushing which I plan to replace soon, that one is louder when it's cold or the engine is pulling hard uphill or something. But I'm mainly worried about the louder noise at 1500rpm.

What does this sound like it could be?

As much as this transmission stuff is costing to sort out, the last thing I need is another expensive repair.

2001 with about 116,500 miles.

Golf V R32 :: Radiator Noise Louder Than Engine

So last night I noticed that my radiator was really loud. It sounds like it's working really hard. Also, when I turn off the car the radiator still runs for a few seconds. Heck, it may not even be the radiator as I'm not 100% positive.

Here's a video of it. In the video you can see that the noise is louder than the engine. Around the 24 second mark I turn the engine off but the noise still persists for a few more seconds.

I didn't rev the engine as the sound doesn't get louder or quieter based on my RPMs. Brought it to the dealership today. Service writer tells me it's because I did the flapper mod.
