Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Airbag / ABS And Brake Light Came On - Car Dies When Coasting To The Side Of Road
Driving my car (2001 Jetta Wolfsburg w/ 1.8T) to work yesterday and all of a sudden the airbag light comes on... As I was almost to my exit I continued another 500 yards. The ABS/and brake light come on as well and the car dies as I coast to the side of the road. I would not start so I had my spouse bring the trailer and another battery to see if it would start up. It started up and we loaded onto the trailer.
Took the battery to Napa and they said battery was bad. Today I buy another battery and the voltage of the battery not running is 12.2V and with the car running the alternator to battery voltage is the same. How do I know if the voltage regulator is bad or the diode or something internally in the alternator? Also how to I get the airbag light reset?
Camry 2012+ :: Coasting At 15 Mph On Flat Road?
I was just wondering if this is normal. On flat road I can coast without touching the gas pedal and go 15mph. Is the idle set up too high?
View 5 RepliesGolf VI R :: High Pitched Noise While Coasting To A Stop
I'm stuck in a bad situation. With my work schedule it will be literally a month until I have time to look at my car during daylight. I may be able to drop it off next week.
Anyhow, the R is making a horrendous high pitched noise while coasting to a stop. This starts at just under 30 mph and is most pronounced in neutral. Accelerating in gear stops it. It is loud inside and louder outside and there is some rough "clanking" associated with it. My guess is a belt or bearing. It is coming from the front passenger side.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Buzz Noise When Coasting Downhill?
This is on a 2010 GTI with 20K km.
I've noticed a buzzing noise coming from the front of the car whenever I coast downhill. Almost sounds like an off-tune radio. Noise gets louder as the car picks up speed, and becomes quieter as I brake. What can it be? I think I was in 3rd gear.
Golf VI R :: Slight Whirling Noise When Coasting In Gear
So today I got to 800+ miles and when I'm coasting in gear... When I get it to the point (by the gas pedal) where the transmission is not loaded so you can slide out of gear...(you guys that understand power shifting know what I am talking about...) I hear a whirling noise.... Whoo-Whoo-Whoo- etc...I hear it sounds near the clutch (guesstimating since its near the front/dashboard)
I would have to drive it another 500 or so miles to get home. No mods, started trip with about 300 miles... Did not use cruise control.. Varied speed around 60-90 mph to keep the rpms moving since there isn't a lot of mileage here... Idk what else to say... This is really bugging me... Never launched the car... And I did search, only results I got was from other parts of the forums saying wheel bearing...
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2012 RX350 - Road Noise Transmitted Back Into Cabin When Driving On Rough Road Surface
My 2012 RX350 now for over a year and like it a lot.........BUT.
There's seems to be a lot "road noise" that's transmitted back into the cabin, like driving over expansion joints on blacktop or rough road surface, is this normal?
I drove a 2000 RX300 for 100,000 miles and don't remember it being this noisy. Interior noise is great and quiet.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Road Noise Particularly On Concrete Highways
I need new tires for my Golf. Road noise has been an issue for me with this car--particularly on concrete highways. The front tires were replaced 60K miles ago with General Altmax HP. The back tires are the originals. Any recommendation for tires that will quiet my ride?

View 24 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Increased Road Noise Between 50kph And About 115kph
I own a MK4 GTI with 182000km on it, I am experiencing some much louder than usual road noise. The noise is only present between 50kph and about 115kph, when I go faster than that the noise seems to attenuate.
I took the car in, it was put onto the hoist and the noise is not coming from the front (we ran it on the stand, but the noise did not seem to be present when revved up to the speed mentioned above). That leads me to believe that the noise could be coming from the tires or from the back assembly. I am going to be putting on my winter tires here soon so that should rule out the tires.
Golf V R32 :: Knocking Noise From The Rear Over Uneven Road Surfaces
I took the R in for a passenger side seat issue (recliner not working), and while I was there I had them look into a light knocking noise I was experiencing.
The noise would happen most noticeably at low speeds, over uneven road surfaces...but not over things like speed bumps. I checked under the car, checked the hatch, made sure the spare/tools were secure, and nothing worked.
VW figured out that the noise was coming from the lower rubber rear spring plate, part (1K0-512-297-D). Not sure if it was one side or both, but they replaced both.
All better now, no more noise! Just wanted to make a thread for those of you who like to hunt down and fix noises.
Golf VI R :: Road Noise With General Altimax Arctic After Warm
Noticed road noise with the Generals. I know they're an aggressive tire. Just making sure it sound like a very faint version of what happens when you go over those rumble strips. Only happens after they're warm and on certain asphalt surfaces.. Wondering if its a balance issue. New R with 800 miles. Car steers and runs fine otherwise. 205/50-17's on VW Akiros wheels. Pressure at 41 psi.

Do we suffer from this clunking noise as well? I know I have rattles and things that make noise over bumps and humps in the road. But is this what I hear?

Caprice :: Engine Noise - Purr When Just Coasting
I have a 1993 Caprice that was running great. The engine purred. We hD it sitting over the winter not driving it at all. Now when we go to drive it there is noise. It purs when you are just coasting, but when you put your foot on the gas there is a loud noise. This noise was not there before we let it sit. What can I do to quiet the engine again?

My 3 week old car just got louder yesterday. Today I noticed it more. Only 1.3k on it. Louder revving, esp. in 2nd, and louder just coasting too. Is everything all right? Before now it was quiet as a whisper.
View 8 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Rubbing Noise When Coasting Particularly At Low Speeds
I just had an oil change done on our 2010. Also of note, I've just switched the winter tires over to summer tires - done myself. So here's the issue. When coasting, particularly at low speeds, a rubbing noise can be heard issuing from the front right somewhere. The noise goes as the rpms go and seems to go away when either braking or accelerating. I'm not sure if it's present at high speeds due to road noise which would overwhelm it.

Santa fe developed a noise underneath that rattles up to the gear shift. It happens mostly when you take your foot off the gas but can happen if your just cruising. Engine does not make any noise while revving it or under load in drive with foot on brake. Definitely sounds rotational but all looks ok underneath.
View 2 RepliesVolvo - V70 :: 2000 - Rattling Noise Get Louder When Coasting
I have a 2000 Volvo V70 XC wagon AWD. I just purchased this car in January and it needed a lot of love and care. Here's my car question: I have a rattling noise that started about a week ago. Just this morning (on my way to the mechanic ironically/luckily) the rattling became very loud and apparent. The noise sounds something like a piece of metal rattling around in an empty coffee can. The noise seemed to go away when I was accelerating, get louder when coasting, and then slowed down in frequency (not volume) as the speed of my car slowed down.
My mechanic also isn't sure what's wrong. He has had himself and 2 other mechanics look at, in addition to hooking it up to machines and making phone calls to Volvo. He says the noise is unmistakably coming from my drive-shaft and that it sounds like it is traveling from one end of the drive shaft to the other. He also said it's odd because the place that the noise is coming from is just a shaft and shouldn't be making any noise?
Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2.4L - Pulsating Humming Noise When In Gear And Coasting
My 2004 Santa Fe 2.4L manual transmission with 200,000km on it has this hard to explain noise when in gear and coasting. This is when my foot it off the gas and say I'm going down a slight incline. There is a pulsating humming noise, worse in the lower gears that coincides with the engine holding the car back. This only seems to happen during coasting and not when down gearing to slow down. And even when coasting if I press even ever so slightly on the gas so the engine is not holding the vehicle back, it goes away.
The clutch has never been replaced and I'm somewhat assuming it may be the clutch becoming worn.
Touareg :: Gear Lash Noise From Drive Train When Coasting
I have a V6. Very happy with it...no real problems, but I do notice a fair amount of drive train gear lash noise when the vehicle is coasting and the windows are open. Is this normal? It not like it sounds really bad and hasn't gotten worse in the 2500 miles since I have my Treg...but I would like to know if it is normal.
