Golf/GTI VI :: Vibration / Resonance And Cyclical Pulsing At 65 MPH
I have a 2011 stock GTI with DSG. 7,000 miles. I just noticed the car has a resonance / vibration / cyclical pulsing / cyclical drone at EXACTLY 65MPH and again at 75MPH. It feels like the pavement has rumble strips every 100 feet or so. I feel it in the floorpan and slightly thru the pedals. You can also hear it- mid-pitched- like a higher male voice tone. It pulses about every second or slightly less for about a half second. It is slightly faster at 75MPH than 65 MPH.
There is NO shimmy in the steering wheel. It is rock solid stable.
I can't place if it is coming from the front, rear, left or right.
Happens in every gear- regardless of RPM.
Happens the same turning left vs. right.
Happens with and without AC on.
Happens with and without the brakes on and/or parking brake on.
I rotated tires front to back with no difference.
Of course, I spend most of my driving time at these speeds and it is making me CRAZY.
BAD WHEEL BEARING??
Golf V R32 :: 2008 - Engine Vibration At 1500 Rpm
I have noticed a moderate engine vibration at 1500 rpm on my R32 2008, but if you go to higher or lower rpm you cannot feel it anymore. I thought it could be a missfire, so I checked all ignition coils and changed the spark plugs but without improvement. Could it be the engine belt pulley?

I own an '02 Passat 1.9 TDI 130, approx 100k on the clock, runs like a dream apart from one thing:
A resonance has appeared at about 1500-2000 rpm. Sounds like a knocking of an airbox or something, had the car on ramps but no luck. not the exhaust or anything obvious like the engine cover.
Happens both when moving and standing still. not too loud but enough to anno. What it could be? worn engine mounts? the lights shake quite a bit a tickover....
Prius V :: Buzzing Resonance Coming Through To Dash / Console And Can Feel It In Gas Pedal
After almost 12,ooo miles, I'm starting to experience some kind of buzzing resonance that come through to the dash, console, and can feel it in the gas pedal. It's weird because it will happen when accelerating and decelerating too, but not it's not a constant occurrence. I wondering if the motor mounts are loose? The ICE runs great and the transmission seems to be operating as smoothly as ever. It's just odd that this started just recently.
View 1 RepliesGolf 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.

Chevrolet - 1500 :: Engine Surges When In Park
My 1992 Chevy truck started surging or revving up when in park. It will tac to 1000 rpm's then go back down - up and down. It won't barely drive down the road. Didn't know if this is a fuel pump problem or something more serious. We've replace several parts that were described on the internet as "could be the problem", but nothing has worked.
View 2 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: 2011 - High Air Pressure Sound At 1500 RPM
I purchased a 2011 GTI on Tuesday. Loving it so far. I've got a question about a noise I hear though. It is at 1500 rpm. It sounds like high pressure air, kind of a pshhhhh sound (like letting air out of a tire). It isn't loud and there's no impact on performance. I assume this is just the turbo spooling up or something related to that? This is my first car with a turbo so just want to be sure .
View 3 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Acceleration Pulsation Cruising In 5th Or 6th Gear Around 45 And 1500 Rpm
I thought I had noticed something odd going on the other day but today definitely confirmed it. I was cruising in 5th or 6th gear around 45mph and 1,500rpm and I felt what I can only describe as an acceleration pulsation. It was almost as if I was just cruising and then slammed the acceleration pedal to the floor, released it, pressed it again, etc. This only went on for maybe 5-6 seconds but it was noticeable. The same thing once happened on my '07 GTI and then it never happened again. I will say that this happened literally 1/2 mile after completely filling my gas tank. Before filling it, it was next to empty (I had 15 miles left according to the MFD). I will scan for codes later but there was no CEL and it only happened once in the time I was driving.

So my car started doing some weird things. at idle and only at idle it will go up and down between 1100 and 1500 rpm. No throttle input no clutch input or brake input. I do have a CEL on but when I read the code it gives me 01314 on brake electronics setting. I'm using a vchecker pro. I go into all the engine brake airbag and trans menus and do clear fault codes and this fixes it but id like to know what the actual problem is.

1999 Chevrolet Silverado 4.3 ltr ....
I was riding along the other day at about 40 mph and my engine just DIED. No sputtering, jerking, lurching, etc.. I have a 1999 Silverado 1500 4.3.
Since then I've tried swapping the fuel filter out. When I took the old one off I did the blow test and could barely get a bit of air through it. Put in a brand new one. Still won't start. It cranks but it won't turn over. It's like it is starved for gas I suppose.
All electrical faculties are functioning seemingly normal. (Of course I have to charge the battery every time I want to try and crank it because it doesn't charge itself because IT WON'T CRANK!)
I've had to change the fuel pump twice in the past 2 years. The last time was about 5 months ago.
For the past week or two my "Change Engine Oil" light has been on even though I've had my oil changed a month ago.
Chevrolet - 1500 :: Oil Pressure Goes Down As The Engine Temp Increases
I have an 88 Chevy C1500. It started showing low oil pressure about a year ago and I went with a heavier oil and oil pressure go a bit better.
Just changed the oil and now, when I start the engine cold, I show normal oil pressure. As the engine temp increases, the oil pressure goes down. When engine is fully warm, oil pressure shows 0 and "check gauges" light comes on.
Decided to put even heavier oil in but guy at parts house said it was probably the sending unit, not a worn out engine. I tend to agree because I drove it more and never hear any ticking or valve noise. Too cheap to replace the sending unit.
From the symptoms above, does thus sound right? Could the sensor somehow fail as engine temperature increases? Everything I read says oil pump failure is very rare.
Chevrolet - 1500 :: New Clutch Will Not Disengage While Engine Is Running
I just installed a new Sachs flywheel and clutch on my 1995 Chevy 1500 4x4. Got everything back together, filled up tranny fluid and gear oil, bled the clutch till no air came out and it still won't shift while the engine is running. I can get it into reverse with a little grinding when in 4H, but that's it. The stick moves freely when the engine is not running. Checked the master cylinder and it is moving just fine. I have checked and did not install the clutch plate facing the wrong way. Any other guesses on what I can do before I have to drop the transmission again and redo the whole install?

View 8 RepliesChevrolet - 1500 :: 2001 - Long Lasting Engine Knock
I have a 2001 Chevy 2wheel drive 4.3 V6 Pickup with a long lasting engine knock. I use it only to haul trash and building materials, maybe once every other week. The knock is sporadic. If I take a long trip and drive on an interstate highway the following morning upon start-up the truck will knock heavily and continue to do so as long as it is running. If I take the truck for a short local trip, the following morning it will start with no knock and only start knocking after driving maybe 10 miles. If I drive only short trips, the truck will almost always start without knocking and only knock once it is fully warmed up. I purchased this vehicle from my brother who drove it this way ever since he purchased it at a salvage auction (full of dents and some damage) who put over 20,000 miles on it with this same engine knock.
Other than the dents, the truck is in great shape, no rust, and has 118,000 miles on it. I would like to keep this thing because it was very cheap and I only use it sporadically. So, I'd like to know if I'm going to eventually have to put a motor in it or if there is some small fix I could make to stop this knocking sound. The sound: It is heavy. It sounds bad. It knocks along with the rpm of the motor. My brother, who is also a great mechanic, thinks it may be piston slap or something in the valve system. I've also had a mechanic listen to it. He thinks it's a rod bearing or wrist pin. What I don't understand is how could it be any of those things when it makes a difference how I drive it the last time it was used? Could it be something simple like a vacuum issue, knock sensor or crank sensor?

View 3 RepliesToyota - Tacoma :: 2012 - Engine Knocking Around 1500 Rpm Going Uphill
My 2012 Toyota Tacoma's engine knocks around 1500 rpm, going up hill and does it 100% of the time in the summer. This I attribute running the Air Conditioning, but don't know for sure. The vehicle manual states on page 569 that the vehicle can take 87 octane gas. Also on the same page, there is a statement that says: "You may occasionally notice a light knocking for a short time while accelerating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern." This seems very strange to me, engine knocking normal? I don't get it.
View 8 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Engine Burning Oil About 1 Quart 1500 Miles Or So
OK, updating my test with my 2006 127k mile engine burning oil. After 2 OCI with MMO added to the oil, it has not improved the oil burning. I was using 3 quarts 5w30 oil and added 1/2 quart of MMO. Oil burning seems to be about 1 quart 1500 miles or so. I believe before this MMO test, the car was burning around 1 quart every 2000 miles or so.
This may be because the oil has been thinned out by MMO but not really sure. Next OCI, I will be using Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic 5w30, because I heard that oil has exceptional cleaning power.
1995 Chevy 1500 With 5.7 Engine - Truck Completely Stalls Out And Has No Power
I own a 95 chevy 1500 with a 5.7 engine. The other day I'm driving home and my truck completely stalls out and has no power what so ever. To be more specific I didn't have lights, radio, key buzz nothing. Well by the time I got the under the hood I had power again and it cranked right up. I put it in drive and 5 minutes down the road and it stalls again with no power what so ever. I've been having problems recently with it stalling at stop signs/red lights but never with a loss of electrical systems. What this could be?
View 3 RepliesLexus GX 2004-09 :: Engine Stumble Only At 1500 RPMs If In Park Or Neutral
What could cause this? I have 100k and I only notice this if in park or neutral at 1500rpms. It goes away before and after and it seems to drive very smoothly. I had a bad alternator and I just replaced it but the "new" one is making a high pitching ringing so I'm having the shop change that out for a new oem. Any chance it's the alternator or could this be something else. I have sea foamed the throttle body recently and cleaned the maf recently and changed the air filter. I didn't do plugs but they are do at 120k
