Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattle When Have Foot On The Gas
Hearing a fast rattle when you have foot on the gas and disappear when you take your foot off.
It's very tiny rattle and I can't pin point where it's coming from but it's hard to ignore when you hear it every time you step on the gas.
Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger Foot-well Light Comes On All The Time
Is this light on all the time? I just noticed it today after driving 160 some miles that the passenger footwell light was on ... then I noticed my footwell light was on as well.
It's something I never noticed before but now it's bothering me. It'd be nice if they were red LED ambient-type lighting but instead its just bright white light....
Camry 2012+ :: Passenger Side Rattle At Highway Speeds (70 MPH)
Shortly after driving off the dealer lot last year with the 2014 Camry a persistent rattle would appear at 70 MPH. It sounded like it was coming from inside the passenger door.
The culprit was a loose passenger side rocker panel knocking against the undercarriage at highway speeds. A few plastic push pins securing the panel to the underside of the frame backed out.
After pushing the pins back in a small dab of RTV was applied at a few locations where the rocker panel comes in contact with the undercarriage and dab was applied to each push pin. Now, not even the heartiest of car washes will work anything loose again.
Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattle In Passenger Side Dash Area
I'm starting to be a little annoyed with a rattle in the passenger side dash area. I looked around to check if there was anything obvious, but I couldn't find anything...
I sometimes get that noise while driving over bumps, but oddly, I usually tend to get it when I accelerate and get the engine at a specific RPM (like some sort of resonance frequency issue?!?). What could cause this?
Golf/GTI VII :: Metallic Rattle From Passenger Hood Area
Ever since day one with my new MKVII GTI, there has been a consistent metallic (tinny - like the sound of someone shaking a soda can with the tab inside) coming from what seems like the passenger side footwells. This rattle can only be heard at low RPM. I can hear it most around 2,000 RPM, and I can force it to happen by applying light pressure to the gas peddle. I don't know if the rattle doesn't happen at higher RPM, or if I just can't hear it over the engine and the typical road noise. The rattle is pretty consistent in tempo.
I've done some research, but can't determine if it's the waste gate actuator, fuel lines, or something else. I'm new to maintaining cars properly and I'm not the most mechanically savvy person, but I want to learn. So, I haven't tried to locate the actuator because I don't know where to start and I haven't tried to "tie down" the fuel lines because I'm not comfortable doing this fix on my own.
I've taken the car to the dealership once, and I was told that the waste gate actuator doesn't even exist on the MKVII. Interestingly, two different techs told me this. They deny that the actuator is even real, much less causing any problems. I suppose it could also be the armrest, as some people say it tends to sound like it's coming from the passenger side.
Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger And Driver Side Headrests Rattle?
I was removing my rear headrests, for the first time, from my 2012 GTI today and noticed that both the passenger and driver side headrests rattle. It sounds like there is a broken piece of plastic rolling around in each of them. I have been hearing a rattle since I purchased the car new 6 months ago so maybe I have found the issue.
View 5 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Rattle Coming From Front Passenger Seat
New MK7 GTI here in Canada with leather. 5-door.
Roughly 6,000km so far and started noticing a rattle coming from the front passenger seat. Initially I thought it was the fuel line problem that some have been having so I contacted my dealer and they stated my particular car wasn't flagged for that recall at all.
The weird part is that the rattle goes away if I even lightly place my hand on the seat, an comes back as soon as I take my hand off. I got under the seat to see if it was a wire connection hitting the metal of the seat and everything appears to be in order.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - Passenger Side Rattle At 4500+ RPM
I Love this car ... with one notable exception. When I am getting on it a bit above 4500 rpms there is this rattle coming from the passenger side that sounds like a buzz! It only happens near 4500rpm and continues through the range to about 6K.
I am reluctant to bring it in for two reasons
1) I have an APR stage 1
2) I do not like nor trust people pulling $30K apart and poking around
Golf VI R :: Passenger Seat Belt Buckle Rattle?
I'm not sure if this is an epidemic or not but I thought I remembered seeing some others with this issue: when driving alone, usually in cooler temps, the passenger seatbelt buckle near the console rattles like a mofo. I have seen some reports of people getting it fixed at their dealership, some managed to get it done under warranty with some effort. I'm considering trying to fight the dealership to do it under warranty when I go in for my 30k service, but wondering if it's something I could tackle at home. Hasn't been too bad since the weather warmed up so not even sure I could duplicate the issue for the dealer tech.
View 11 RepliesFord Brakes/Suspension :: Vibration / Rattle After Letting Foot Off Gas Pedal / Deceleration
If I am going over 60MPH and let off the gas pedal (decelerate, no brakes) I get a bad rattle/vibration that shakes mainly the dash front. only happens when I let off gas pedal. As long as I am giving gas the Bronco runs smooth, no vibration/rattle at all.
I just changed..Front Rear Brakes, Repak Front Wheel Bearings. New Front Rear Shock (deutch Tech), new track bar poly bushings, greased all joints axles, changed rear diff fluid (bottle of transX diff additive 85W-90 gear oil). It did the same thing before all this too and it is intermittent (but more so than not). Sometimes it is really violent (feels like the whole truck is going too shake loose, other times it is fine.
I am going on a long trip Thursday and this is bothering me. Cant pin point problem. One note i towed a boat for the first time last sunday and the problem went away, i.e., more wait in rear? Alignment,tires,driveshaft? I really dont have time to do anything except minor adjustments before I leave.
Golf VI R :: Rattle Noise From Passenger Side A Pillar - Buzzing Behind Radio
I've got two rattles .....
First is an actual rattle noise coming from what seems like the passenger side a pillar.
Second is more of a buzzing noise coming directly behind the radio at between 3k-4500
Golf VI R :: Passenger Side Door Rattle At Higher Speeds Or Over Bumps
Having issues with passenger side door making noise on the highway at higher speeds or over bumps? I've recently begun to notice a slight rattle coming from the passenger side door when at highway speeds which becomes more noticeable and annoying when driving over a bump or less smooth roadways. I just reached 1500 miles. I have looked around on the forum and found some issues that various GTI owners experienced most dated from last year (talked with a MK6 GTI owner today at work who mentioned there was a recall not too long ago on this issue?), but I feel like that would have been since fixed with the R if the recall was last year.
View 9 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Golf Ball Like Rattle Heard From Passenger Rear Side
I've been trying to pin point this golf ball rattle i hear from my passenger rear side of my car. I though it was the sway bar end links wearing out, so i changed those along with a pair of new rear struts as they were leaking.
I was still getting the that rattles when i drove on bumpy roads. I then though it was the sway bar bushings going out on me so i took the sway bar off to eliminate it all together.....WRONG AGAIN.
Ok, it must be something behind the bumper right? before i start pulling the bumper clips my spider man senses zoned in on the passenger rear wheel caliper that i had changed 6 months ago due to a rusted guide pin that i acquire while i was living in snow country New York.
I began rocking the caliper and to my surprise the damn thing was moving very loosely.
Time for some maintenance: Turned out that the lower guide pin on the 6 month old caliper was loose. Cleaned it up and tighten it with an Allen key applied some crc brake grease, installed new brake pads and hardware and that took care of that damn rattling.
Passat (B5) :: A/C Condensate Leaking Into Passenger Foot Well?
a/c condensate line appears to be backing up into the foot well of the front passenger. Leaves huge puddle. Wife is going to kill me. Checked drain valve and no blockage. Foam around the top of evaporator drain guide was wet. Why don't they use tubing for the drain instead of the guide??
View 1 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: DC Power (passenger Foot Well) No Longer Works
The DC Power/cigarette lighter no longer works. When I plug in a phone charger it lights up for a split second then goes out. This leads me to believe it is not a fuse because I don't think it would get any power at all...but I'm not sure and I don't even know where to look for the fuse to check it.

View 6 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Loose Panel In Passenger Foot Well?
I've got a loose panel in the passenger footwell. It's the black plastic panel that your toes touch, if your passenger puts his heels on the floor and points his toes toward the sky. It has some kind of a white pad/filter on the top side.
The edge of the panel nearest the seat is firmly connected. The edge nearest the engine flopped down. I tried to put it back. There seems to be one plastic tab that sticks out and fits too-loosely into a rectangular hole on the front-of-car edge. As soon as my kid gets in the car again, his toes bump the plate and it flops down again.
Toyota :: Rain Water In Passenger Side Foot Space
I have a Toyota Aygo which leaks water into the passenger side foot space, so that when it rains, about 2 inches of water collects where the passengers feet would be.
It's been in to the dealer three times to fix, they replace the door seals but it seems to me that the rain isn't coming in via the door or window, but up through the floor somehow, ie seems to come up through the carpet suggesting it's coming in from somewhere else!
Phaeton :: CEL Codes For Secondary Air Intake Pump / Water In Passenger Foot Area
I am still getting the CEL codes for the Secondary Intake Air Pump after I noticed the water in the passenger foot area. I clear the CEL but it comes back on again after a few days. I am now trying to trouble shoot the issue. When I start the engine cold I do NOT hear the blower come on the first minute the engine is on. That tells me the Secondary air intake pump is not turning on. Next I must check the relay or fuse tied to the pump. Which relay or fuse number it is and where it is located exactly?
If the fuse/relay is not the issue, how difficult it will be to change this pump and where it is located exactly?
