Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Fairly Loud Clicking / Clunking Sound Coming From Front Under The Hood
So my '01 E350 has been fine but tonight when I went to start it I didn't get a WTS light and the SES light was on and there was a weird number on my PHP Hydra that looked like r5 ? This happened a few times back to back so I tried starting it and it just cranked and cranked. Wtf? So I started pushing the button on the chip and all of the sudden I got the WTS light and the hydra flashed, now the chip was on tune 10 instead of 5 where it was when I parked it. I should also note that during these episodes there was a fairly loud clicking/clunking sound coming from the drivers front under the hood when I toggle the key on.. Sounds like maybe a relay? Louder than I recall ever hearing.
View 5 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Binding Sound Coming From Rear End?
Today was a rainy day, and for New Orleans, that means flooding. So driving home, wasn't too low, I went through a couple somewhat deep puddles. Got home and realized when I turn, I'm getting a binding, low popping sound. My haldex fluid was changed about 8 months ago, I'm not getting any dash indications yet (aside from check engine light I've had, I'll scan it again)
I first thought it could be suspension binding, couldn't see anything obvious. Then I thought maybe wheel bearing, but that would be a clicking more than a thud. Am I looking at a possible diff problem?
Also, info on the car. It's bagged...smh. Rear shocks are probably shot, and rear suspension has been creaking lately. I don't drive it hard anymore because south Louisiana is a cesspool of horrible roads and drivers.
Golf/GTI VI :: Lowered MKVI - Popping Sound Coming From Front Suspension?
Like the title says... Do any lowered mkvi's have any noises or popping sounds coming from your car's front suspension? The reason I ask is on my MKV R32 I had H&R springs on stock shocks and at low speed full lock turns I had a slight poping noise. Everything on the R was installed right and it only had ~3-4k miles on it when the springs were installed. After doing research it seemed like a fair amount of lowered MKV's had this noise and it was thought to have something to do with the strut bearing.
View 8 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Groaning Sound Whenever Front Driver Side Suspension Compresses
2003 Jetta TDI 245K miles- owner's records show front bushings were replaced some time ago.
Suddenly started a groaning sound whenever the front driver's side suspension compresses. Started suddenly right after I hit a speed bump but not "hard". I parked and bounced on each corner of the car, no noise on anything but the front driver's side. The suspension's "give" felt similar across all 4x corners.
Of course whenever I'm braking or turning I get that sound. But it's definitely the suspension. And like I say, it's sudden.
I didn't see anything wrong, but the wheel's mostly in the way. The wheel cowling isn't rubbing the wheel. Handling feels fine, still goes straight with the hands off the wheel.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Flat Tire Sound From Front Driver Side Area / Suspension
Front driver side area making a flat tire noise. Replaced the tires and axle and wheel bearings. Kinda lost on what could btw making the noise. Alignment done 15k miles ago when lowering springs and new shocks were put on.

Also only really does it when I turn RIGHT.

It's come to my attention that I have a thumping sound coming from my lower front end. It only happens on low rpm's and I can hear it best when it's in neutral, if I give the brakes a little push I can hear it louder, more profound, and can also feel it on my feet a little, but I don't only hear it while I have the pedal depressed. So..what it could be?
View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: 2005 - Unidentified Sound Coming From Front End
I have a 2005 jetta 2.0l sedan manual transmission. I recently replaced the front shocks/struts and coil springs. I so replaced the passenger side tie rod end and the passenger side drive shaft or cv axle (not sure what its called). Everything went fine or so I thought. There is a metallic whirring sound coming from the front end and idk how to fix it. I don't even know whats wrong. I went over everything multiple times visually and could find nothing wrong. I tried three different cv axles thinking that was the cause for it and the noise remains. The first two were brand new from autozone and the last one which is still on the car is a good used oem cv axle. I took two videos of the noise....

View 3 RepliesSonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Loud Groaning / Creaking Noise Coming From Front Suspension Area
2011 GLS 2.4L auto, 40K, out of warranty
There is a loud groaning/creaking noise coming from the front suspension area. At low speeds, this noise dominates all other noises and is directly related to hitting the gas or pressing the brakes, which produces a forward or backward force on the front suspension and chassis. I can sometimes hear it briefly just by pushing against the parked car.
My hope is that I can just tighten up some bolts and make this go away, but other posts suggest it may be struts, stabilizer links or other non-obvious sources.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Fairly Loud Noise Coming From Just Right Of Center Fold Down Cup Holders
The Truck: 2008 F350 Super Duty, Lariat Crew Cab 6.4 Diesel, Off Road package with just under 90K.
The Noise: It sounds like a cross between Morse code ticking (No Morse code message. I thought of that) and the sound a styrofoam cup makes when it rubs against another cup. The noise is fairly loud. Noticeable at standard conversation speaking levels. Doesn't just go away once it starts.
The Apparent Location Of The Noise: Sounds like it's coming from just right of my center fold down cup holders between the driver and passenger sides of the dash.
Process Of Elimination: No set rule for when it starts to happen but it doesn't happen all the time. SEEMS like it happens after a longer trip.
Air conditioning on or off doesn't make it stop. Fan on or off doesn't change anything. Restarting truck at a stop light doesn't change anything.
Varying truck speed doesn't make a difference. Banging on the dash near the sound doesn't make a difference.
Passat (B7) :: Odd Shuddering Sound Coming From The Front Suspension
So I took my 15 Passat sport into the dealer this morning because of an odd shuddering sound I was getting from the front suspension. Of course the car didn't make a single sound while we were there.
Then tonight when I went to back into a parking spot I heard what I first thought was the typical groaning of pads and rotors slowly moving except that I wasn't.
Check this out .....
This is simply me going from reverse to drive. No change in brake pressure and no movement at all. Shuddering type noise when hitting drive way or steep speed bump at an angle? I can feel it through the steering wheel.
Phaeton :: 2009 - Rumbling Sound Coming From Front Suspension
Since we took ownership of our 2009 v6 there has been a rumble when going over bumps in the road. A certain amount of this I have put down to the big alloys and low profile tyres, but have always suspected that there was something else amiss.
Today I took her into our local Phaeton garage and asked them to investigate. They has hinted at worn drop links. However after checking everything out in the ramp they can find nothing wrong. They even replaced one if the drop links (whatever they are).
So they came up with nothing wrong but could still here the rumble when driving over un-even surfaces. When I change to sport mode I think the rumble gets less, where to look or what could be wrong.
Golf/GTI VI :: Loud Pop From Front Suspension Area While Driving On Slanted Slope
About 2 weeks ago i installed my silverlines on my 2012 gti. Everything was fine until today So i'm not slammed by no means; i have close to a fingers width of gap.
Today while driving i took a slanted slope while pulling into a driveway. I heard a loud pop from the front suspension area. On the way home while driving at slow speeds and hitting mild bumps i could hear a rattling sound and a popping sound from the front area.
I looked down when i got home and noticed by front left sway bar endlink was completely loose. Somehow the nut loosened itself. So i tightned it up and figured that was my problem.
Well it seems that fixed half of my problem. The loud pops when tweaking the frame through roads that are slanted (driveways) went away but i still have a loose rattling sound.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: P0172 Code / Seems Like Consuming Oil Fairly Quickly
I have a 4 door 1.8t AWW
Like I said in the title I keep getting the P0172 and can't seem to shake it no matter what I do. I believe the car is in soft limp mode as I can't boost above 5 psi. I'm also consuming oil fairly quickly (atlas 2 quarts in a span of 2-3 months), no smoke out back though. I did find that the whole PCV system underneath the plenum was wet, but nothing else was? Checked the PCV valve and it seemed operational and didn't stay open. Check PCV system for cracks and was unable to see any which added to the confusion.
Thing's I've done to try and fix problem:
-replaced breather hose because of crack
-went through all the vacuum lines and replaced where needed
-have two n75j's that I'm unsure if they work or not (is n75j the stock valve for the AWW?)
-cleaned the maf
-replaced valve cover gasket
-changed plugs
-replaced dv with splitter
Other things for diagnose:
-little wet around 2 of the injectors on top of the plenum (old o rings?)
-when running splitter full atmospheric I can hit 10psi but with it closed off can't get past 5psi
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Popping / Knocking Noise Coming From Suspension
2001 vr6 manual... I have a popping noise that comes from my suspension. it is in the front, and it has gradually gotten worse over the last month or so. It used to happen when i back out of my drive way only, but now it happens when accelerating from a stop, quickly braking or turning at low speeds. Recently its getting worse and i can start to feel it in my steering wheel sometimes. It doesn't feel like a wheel bearing. Is it bushings? Tie rod? CV Joints? Strut Mount?
View 2 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Clunking Noise From Front Suspension
I am trying to find origin of clunking noise, but it is difficult to do as there is no visual signs and no excessive movements in any components.
Little bit of details and video. Noise occurs when moving rapidly steering wheel on stationary car with running engine. Not noticeable when at speed. Wheel is not vibrating and cv joints not clicking. Very tiny free movement in steering wheel about 1mm, but I am not sure if that is related maybe a completely different issue there. Mot tester make an advisory note that steering system slightly rough, but its not that useful to find an issue.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Steering Wheel Pulse Or Jump Fairly Violent
As the title says. Last night my MKIV started this jump in the steering. No load or decelerating, the wheel does a pulse or jump, fairly violent. I drove ten miles with no problem, then a couple jumps, then fine. Pulled tires and inspected, checked bearings, tie rods, ball joints. nothing obvious. Could it be something in the power steering?
View 4 RepliesGolf V R32 :: OEM Front Suspension Squeaking Sound
I am having this issue when crossing a bump at high speed, it only sound when the shocks de-compress and only happening in the mornings so I think it might be the piston rod inside the shocks that is "getting dry" on the night and therefore making the sound in the mourning.
