Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Slight Grinding Noise On Startup
I've noticed recently that on startup I'll hear a minor grinding noise after the engine has kicked over. Seems to happen more when the car is really cold.

I have recently inherited a 2000 Jetta. The car runs great however the plastic tube that holds the oil dipstick is broken in two or thee spots. It has been previously repaired with electrical/duct tape. Doesn't seem to leak but I'm wondering if I need to get a new one in there. Is this something I can do at home or does it need to go to a shop?

I have a raspy exhaust leak sounding noise when I start my 2003 GTi 1.8t that cuts off just a few minutes after I start the car and a fellow owner told me he thought it was a vacuum pump that has rivets that fail and allow the case to separate and cause this noise. Where this pump is located? This former coworker of mine said he replaced the rivets with long slender screws and nuts after removing the rivets but I lost contact with him and don't know where this pump is located.

Today I replaced my thermostat and thermostat housing. I happened to be unfortunate and cracked my dipstick tube (probably should be replaced at 135k miles anyways). I know I can get it at the dealership, but it's pretty far out of my way and wouldn't mind just ordering it from ecstuning or something.

Temp is at 190, runs great, coolant levels are fine, everything seems fine but there's a constant stream of smoke coming from my dipstick tube. Oil isn't milky. 2.0 AZG. Tried searching but only found threads for 1.8t's. Headgasket was done recently.

2000 GTI MK4 200,000 miles
I have had a grinding noise during engine start up for a few month but had no problem is engine starting up so left the grinding noise problem untouched.
About two days ago both lowbeam headlights blew up and left signal blinker on headlight lamp cluster didn't turn on while rear left blinker blinked at twice faster speed. At the same time I began to have starter motor stall while starting up the engine!
Wonder if this is a problem involving solenoid as well.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 1.8t - Clicking Noise Coming From Engine?
Sometimes (most of the time) whenever i turn on my car, there's sort of like a clicking noise (really loud, if you get out of the car you can still hear it), push the clutch in and its gone. The other times when it doesn't start right away, the car warms up and the noise is present. I don't know if its normal for Volkswagens to do that, But i didnt notice it when i got the car. Im not sure if its the engine, trans or clutch. At first i thought it was my A/C because whenever i would turn it off the noise would go away.
It wasn't the A/C, it started to go out, don't have money to replace it, so now i always leave it off. the noise stopped for a little while but eventually came back. It only happens when the car is idling, start to accelerate, it goes away until i come to a stop again.
It's a 2000 Golf 1.8t 5 speed manual.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Strange Whining Noise On Start Up
This noise happens usually on the first startup of the day, but it can happen at least 2 or 3 times a day randomly. I am not great with cars but if i had to guess it sounds like a belt is to tight or its a electrical problem but i have no clue. I attached a video of the noise for better in site. Apart from all the looks i get when i start my car up I'm just afraid my engine is gonna blow up on me randomly. The car is a 2000 vw golf automatic.

My 2000 jetta won't start. Lights, beeping, everything else happens when I put the key in, but nothing happens when I try to start it. I don't hear any noise coming from the engine, i.e. clicking, etc. I can push start it and it works fine.

All stock.
I have a new issue developing on the clutch of my car. When I fully press the clutch pedal to change gear, I hear cacophony of grinding, hissing and whirring noise, probably coming from gearbox. When I take my foot off of the clutch pedal completely, the noise is gone. half clutch has reduced amount of these noises. I had this symptom briefly one night two weeks ago and when I topped up oil, this was gone. Tonight, it is back.

View 18 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Oil Cooler Leaks Only At Startup
I noticed last week when I leave the house in the morning my car was leaving oil striped down my road. Jacked car up Saturday AFTER RUNNING TO STORE found a little oil on bottom of my car but not nowhere near what I was thinking there would be. Cleaned motor fired up found no leaks at all . However this morning after car had sat 20hrs or so I looked under car before I cranked her up clean.
Got it cranked her up and oil was streaming from the oil cooler. Not on the block side but towards the front of car side of cooler. It did this for a few seconds then stopped. I am gonna order new front and rear orings for oil cooler. I am just stumped why it only happens at a cold start and for a few seconds not consistently.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: CEL Comes On / ASR Light Follows Shortly After Every Startup
2003 gti 1.8t. I'm having a problem with this engine code, it keeps coming back and when the CEL comes on the ASR light follows shortly and will then come on after every start up.
For the p0171 I've replaced:
Crankcase vent hose.
Y split running to the pcv
MAF
Coil packs
Spark plugs
Fuel pump
I also have done a seafoam treatment through tbe intake and ran a bottle (twice) of injector cleaners through the gas tank.
Nothing has fixed the code. I found cracks in the brake Booster vac line and had the line replaced (brake light would flash under boost, doesn't anymore). Can't find any other leaks except for maybe the secondary air pump (which I haven't replaced yet).
The OBD2 monitors all run. the EVAP and catalytic monitor won't click over to ready. I have a new pcv and a fuel filter coming in the mail in another vain attempt to fix the issue.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Valve Clicking Sound At Startup
Just got this vr6 a week ago and noticed what sounds like a valve clicking, I thought maybe it was low on oil or something, so I just changed the oil and filter yesterday, clicking was gone from what i could hear. Start up today to go to work, clicking is back, I've noticed after the engine heats up the clicking subsides, but when you first start up I'm hearing it tick in the same area. Thinking maybe a intake/fuel cleaner next? My other 24v never did this. I've never taken it over 3k or anything until after it's warmed up.

My 01 Jetta 2.0 recently started making a grinding sound on start up! had the crank sensor and the starter changed about a month ago and everything was fine but yesterday, for absolutely no reason it would make a horrible grinding sound on start up.Not the typical one where the engine starts and 2 seconds later it screeches (I searched) but while the engine is turning over it grinds. Once it didn't turn over at all just grinding sound. It's not all the time tho either?
View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 1999 VR6 Shaking Quite A Bit On Startup And When Turned Off
So my VR6 shakes quite a bit on startup and when I turn it off. I figured it was the dogbone mount. I did the clutch trick, jacked up the front end and engaged the transmission. Of course the engine shook a lot, in a forward to back motion, signalling the dogbone was bad. Shifts into and out of 1st and 2nd were pretty rough and i could feel it in both the driver and passenger seats during idle.
Well I just installed the ECS dogbone and while I can't really feel it much in the seats anymore, it still shakes quite a bit once the transmission is engaged. Low end shifts really haven't gotten much better either.
So I am thinking its either one of the other mounts, or the polyurethane bushing needs to be worked in. I am leading toward the former.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 Car Shaking And Had A Ticking Sound At Startup
So I was on my to get some food and when started my car it was shaking really bad and had a ticking sound. I popped the hood and the engine was shaking violently, it drove fine one day to walmart and the next day started doing this. I am thinking it could be the coil pack because it was raining when I went to start it.

2000 Jetta MKIV ... 2.0L GL
I've been dealing with random misfire codes on my Jetta (P0300, P0301-P0304). I've since replaced the spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, MAF senor, & camshaft positioning sensor but the problem still persists. The misfires occur right on start-up and don't stop which is leading me to the coil pack being bad.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: When Startup It Often Dies Soon After And Idle Really Roughly Until Warm Up
I have a 1999.5 jetta vr6, the CEL is on (p0102 MAF sensor circuit low or something like that...). When i start it up, it often dies really soon after and until its warm it will idle really roughly. I'll have to start it up between 5 and 15 times... Once its warm and about 190 F oil temp it runs just fine, but still has a slightly rough idle.
I have a new MAF sensor coming in, or if there are any other things i should check that might contribute to the problem.
