Golf V R32 :: Exhaust Leak - DSG Rattle?
I did some searching and found someone with the same dsg rattle chatter noise I am getting from my R (check link below)
My R has 102,000 miles, runs excellent but the dsg makes a noise mostly when I am in gear stopped with my foot on the brake. While I was under the car checking out the chatter noise I noticed a faint exhaust leak somewhere in the headers near the flex pipe. I want to fix it and I plan to put on a cat back exhaust very soon but I really don't want to spend the money on a set of headers.
Golf V R32 :: Stock Exhaust Would Rattle When Shifted Up With DSG
OK, my stock exhaust would rattle when I shifted UP with the DSG, seems to be a fairly common thing. I got the EJ exhaust and it STILL does it on occasion, not as bad. Is there a loose heat shield or something? If I rev the car slowly while driving (not standing still) and get it to red line there is no metallic rattle. If I rev it fast and shift, it rattles

So I recently lower my car and my 3" exhaust started a constant rattle when I'm in the car. When I get out it stops. Been lowered for a week or so now and today was the first time that happened. I've read up and seen its pretty common when we go lower. Also some ways to possibly fix it.

View 24 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Exhaust Heat Shield - Slight Creaking Noise That Sounds Similar To The Rattle
I've noticed that potentially my heat shield or whatever guard that is 1 step toward the front of the car from where the inlet pipe connects to the exhaust system may be the reason for my rattle at 2k and 3k rpms. i think its a heat shield but I am not sure. the thing is it seems properly mounted, nothing is cracked/broken/or loose. But when I do try and wiggle it it does make a slight creaking noise that sounds similar to the rattle I get. So I could foresee this as being my issue.
But, is there anyway to fix this rattle w/out just taking off the part? i figure its there for a reason and it looks like its held on in 2 places. But they're not nuts they almost look like spot welds or something. 1 on each side. What to do?

Golf/GTI VI :: Strange Rattle Sound When Driving?
So here I am at just under 500 miles on the odometer, and I'm beginning to notice a strange rattle sound when driving. This rattle occurs either after I let off the throttle in any gear, or when the RPMs are dropping from 2500 - 1000. It happens only for a short moment and it almost sounds like something tapping a few times somewhere on the axle or drivetrain. I first actually noticed it when my music was turned up because I could feel the vibration in the steering wheel. Anyways, I have a call out to the service department to have it looked at ASAP.

Under normal driving how loud is the exhaust inside the car with the windows up and the radio on? I know the exhaust is loud as all the reviews say and i know there are videos on youtube of the exhaust but its always either with the windows down or windows up and radio off. I just want to know how much louder than stock it is just cruising with windows up and radio on if i want some sort of quiet.

Driving around the other day I had a horrible buzzing rattle behind the drivers seat on my 2013 Golf R with 5000 miles on it. Come to find out when I open the rear door on the driver side I can grab the bottom cushion on the side that faces the door panel and it just lifts up 3 inches as if it is not connected. Is this a normal golf thing? I have never seen a cushion that was this loose in any new car in the past 10 years.
View 2 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Rattle / Buzz When Driving Over Bumpy Road
I'm getting this rattling sound/buzzing sound when I drive over bumpy roads. I'm not sure if this is the fuel line since the only time I get the rattle is when I drive over bumpy roads (brick roads, uneven roads, rumble strip, etc).
I think the rattle is from the passenger side.
I checked the VW site for recalls (not sure if TSBs will show up) for my vehicle. I think I'm going to take it in to get checked and see if the fuel line rubber washer was ever installed. Would the dealership be able to see if the TSB was ever performed while they had the car in the lot? Does the TSB only apply to certain range of VINs?

As if puttin on all new 4 tires and having to buy a new wheel because one was cracked didn't cost me enough. Car was idling for a good 30minutes or more (arguing with the gf) and out of no where I noticed the exhaust note change and the temperature rise. I shut if off before it even reached the red mark. Yes I checked the cooling fan and its working when the engine is warmed up. Was it possible some wires may have come loose from hitting a pot hole ( main roads) and it caused it to overheat? Car is running fine and I will get it in the shop next week to have it looked at
Could it have caused any damage to the engine even though I was able to stop it quick and let it cool down?
Golf VI R :: Exhaust Flap - Valve Is Fully Open During Idle And Driving
I would like to know what code is responsible for the exhaust flap. Seems like it is permanently open. The solenoid in the left rear wheel well works; but valve is fully open during idle and driving.
As much as I love my car sounding like a beast, my house and my passengers are losing sleep and experiencing hearing-loss.
We tried looking for any leads, but came back empty handed from the dealership. I've also reached out to the tuning company, and confirmed that the software itself does not affect the valve controls.

I have the invidia midpipe installed on my 06 GS300 AWD. The guy at the shop had to do some cutting and welding to make it fit on the driver's side, I also noticed he removed the damper near the middle of the car for the pipe to fit as well. Ever since then, my car makes a loud rattle whenever I start the car, but only when the engine hasn't been started for a few hours, what it could be, I never had time to take it back and let it cool for him to check it out.
View 3 RepliesFord Exhaust :: Rattle Sound At Certain RPM Range
I use the term rattle loosely, as i can't be certain what the sound actually is like. I heard it described as sounding like 10 nuts bouncing around the muffler. I only hear the sound at 1750-1900 RPM it seems, and it has to be under load to produce it (I.e Regular driving), i cannot produce it while in park/neutral.
I'm fairly certain it has to do with the exhaust, now, my studs on my headers are mostly well, i have 2 top studs broken off on driver side manifold (1 each end).
Diagram:
x . . . x
. . . . .
The engine bay is a bit loud, but if it was my headers, wouldn't the "rattle" happen in park/neutral as well?
My muffler is a flowmaster, no idea how long it's been on there, as i am the 3rd owner of the truck (99' f250 v10), it's pretty rusty now.
Everything is clamped well, no black carbon marks at joints showing a leak so i figure that's about the only good thing so far.
- I ruled out heat shields, tightened all that are in good condition and removed one near the tailpipe since i dump under the box.
- Was told about the transmission inspection plate, well mine has been off for a while and the flexplate appears to have no damage/cracks and is tightened.
Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Exhaust Rattle When Going Over A Speed Bump
I have recently started to have the exhaust rattle on my RX330. It occurs every now and then when the car is on an angle or more particularly when going over a speed bump. I had been trying to find out where it was coming from and it looked to be the exhaust possibly touching the plate that separates the exhaust from the spare wheel cover (which of course is plastic). This is the part I am talking about....
Now the first part of me thinks that to resolve the issue it would be handy to put some padding there to stop it from rattling against the shield when the exhaust does move. The second part of me also thinks, it might be time to replace the rubber holders as they seem to be particularly soft and have quite a bit of give to them. Now for the interim I would want to put some padding on there. What padding have to put there? Would exhaust wrap be the most obvious choice to wrap around the shield?
Trying to find an inexpensive temporary solution. The long term resolution would be for the actual rubber rings themselves to be replaced as well as having that small metal bit covered in some sort of wrap to prevent metal to metal touching (hence vibration and noise). Part of me also thought to remove the shield altogether, but worried that the exhaust may touch the plastic around the tyre and cause it to melt and possibly catch fire, as it does sway a bit.
