Golf VI R :: Whirling Noise From Passenger Side Of Engine?
so yesterday I got out of my car with the engine still running and walked about 3 feet infront of it to open a garage door. All of a sudden a loud whining noise could be heard over the engine. I opened up the hood and could hear that it was coming from the passenger side. I then turned off the car and back on, it was still there, just very subdued, could barely hear it.
Later that day, after I had turned off my engine and all of a sudden, it was a loud whining again that lasted for about 4 seconds and it died away. Quite worried about it being the water pump.
Started my car today, sound hasn't returned and can't replicate it. Going to take it to the dealer tomorrow?
Golf/GTI VI :: Louder Revving Especially In 2nd Gear And When Just Coasting
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.

I drive a 2010 Golf Wagon/JSW, and when I'm going at speeds around +60 mph/90 kmph and lift off the accelerator a faint high pitched whirling noise comes on. As soon as I tap the gas pedal it goes away. What this could be?
It's been a week now since I've noticed this, I guess I've never noticed it before or it's getting louder..i don't know?
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.
View 10 RepliesGolf VI R :: Road Noise When Coasting Only
I just bought a 2013 Golf R and have been driving around with some kind of road noise since the day I got it. The sound occurs when coasting only, and is most audible above 55mph. It is best described as a mid-high-pitched hum or drone, kind of like a much quieter semi (when you drive next to them on the highway).
I took the car in to a VW dealer and they were able to hear the sound on a test drive but were unable to diagnose the source. They rotated tires, checked all bearings/hubs, and eventually called VW to find out that it is a "characteristic of the vehicle" and that VW is aware of it and nothing more.
Aside form the noise there are absolutely no issues with the car and it only has about 8k miles on it...
Golf 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.
Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Hiccup Or Slight Lurch When Accelerating Just After Coasting At 50 Mph
I have a 2002 Ford F150. 273,000 miles on it. When I am going about 50 mph and I start down a hill and let off the gas a bit and then when at the base of the hill I push on the gas to accelerate then sometimes it does a weird hesitation or slight "lurch" but it is NOT in the engine. The engine continues to run smoothly during this lurch. It only happens between 45 and 55 mph. It only seems to happen when I am trying to accelerate out of a coast. I had the dealer check underneath thinking it might be a u-joingt? They said everything underneath seems to be in good shape. Someone told me to consider Ring and Pinion Slop problem in the rear differential? When I read about that it seems that it normally makes a noise. There is no noise with my truck's problem.
View 1 RepliesFord F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 FX4 - Hesitate With A Slight Banging Occurs While Coasting Up To 50 - 55 MPH
I've began noticing about 2 - 3 months ago that while coasting up to 50-55 mph my truck begins to hesitate with a slight banging when it occurs. At first I was worried it may have been transmission, but once I talked to ford mechanics, they reassured me it was not, especially at 85,000 miles. I then noticed that taking it out of overdrive prevents the problem. It doesn't act up unless I am on the highway between 50 and 60 mph. It seems to progressively get a little worse and occasionally I can feel a jolt, as if it's struggling to shift into OD. What the problem could be? 2006 F-150 FX4 ...

When upshifting into 5th gear there is a slight hesitation before actually going into gear? I do not have this issue with any other gears!
View 24 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Slight Grinding When Shifting Into 4th Gear
Just recently, my car 6 speed has started acting up and it's got me worried. First, and most notably, when I go to shift into 4th gear, there is a slight grinding noise and its a little tough to shift into 4th. Once it is in 4th gear, though, it shifts and drives fine with no other grinding noise. A buddy of mine says it might be the synchros, but what that means or how I can fix it.
Also, it has been having a rough idle on startup for a while now. It will idle at around 1,200 RPMs for a bit when I start it up, and it will kind of backfire out the exhaust a bit, kind of like it's a misfiring coilpack or something, but will usually go away after I drive for a bit.
Driving my car right now isn't very fun when I am only worrying about what's wrong with it, so I really want to get it fixed sooner rather than later, before these develop into larger problems.
Golf/GTI VI :: Slight Crunchy Sound When Accelerate From 1st Gear
My GTI is about a month old and I just recently started to notice a slight crunchy sound if I accelerate from 1st gear really slow (right around 1k rpm, maybe a little higher). You have to be going pretty slow and it goes away the second it goes to 2nd gear. It's almost like a creaking wooden floor but more metallic sounding, or driving over a soda can... It's really hard to describe.
I noticed this about week 2, but it seems to have gotten a little louder since then, or maybe i'm just going crazy... I have my first complimentary check up tomorrow morning. They are also going to be installing the waste-gate clip for the rattle noise, which I also noticed after the first week or so.
I will post on the results when I bring it up to the dealer tomorrow. In the meantime. I've looked around and one forum seemed to have a similar sound described, and said it was also the wastegate rattle, just not in the typical 2k-3k rpm range... I'm just hoping it's not a finicky dsg/mechatronic issue with the clutch not disengaging correctly.
Golf IV R32 :: CEL Code P0102 MAF Circuit Low - Slight Whine When In 1st And 2nd Gear
So today i got my first check engine in the .:R. I was merging onto the freeway and i shifted into third rather enthusiastically (didn't redline in 2nd but i was probably at 6k rpm) and put it into 3rd gave it the gas and the tires squealed and I got the traction control light. Has me a little worried since the traction control light didn't go off afterwards. Got off the freeway and pulled into a parking lot and turned it off for a minute and when i started back up I got the check engine light also. Went to schmucks and pulled the codes and the only code I was able to pull up was P0102 MAF circuit low. I highly doubt my traction control light has anything to do with the MAF circuit. I notice when in 1st and 2nd gear (can't really tell about beyond 2nd because there is too much road noise) there is a slight whine. I cleared the codes and the check engine came back but the traction control light never went off.
View 9 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Whirling Sound From The Engine Bay
About three weeks prior to leaving for Helen, GA I began to notice a whirling sound from the engine bay. I could tell it was the radiator fan, but it wasn't very loud and just figured the engine was really warm. So I left it and it went away till a few days later it came back and then stayed pretty regular, again not much louder than usual but had a slightly different sound. Three days before we leave for SoWo it turns into a monster. It sounded 10x louder, so I immediately called the dealership to find out how much a radiator fan would be and if they had it in stock. The larger of the two fans is about $380 and the smaller is about $320 or so [yes, we have two radiator fans if you haven't checked]. This doesn't even include labor. So I asked if they have it in stock, and of course they wouldn't know until they look at the fan to see which brand it is. I decided to leave it for the trip, with anticipation of driving with a group of friends and having my AAA card in my wallet [which is now gone, forever ].
Thursday, early morning [@3am] I was packing up the car for our trip to SoWo, I turned it on while I finished loading the roof rack to get the car nice and cozy temperature wise inside. It started off the 'normal loud' I had been experiencing the last couple of days, then it grew into some ungodly sound akin to a turbo prop plane building up thrust for take-off. We trudged on, hoped for the best and secretly expected the worst. I kept an eye on the engine temps, but ran into no issues. The sound abated and persisted till I made a run on ToD Friday afternoon. The sound stopped, and the car performed like a champ all weekend, and drove all 1700 miles without incident or real concern.
I felt relieved. The problem fixed itself!
That is till today, the sound faintly came back this morning
Here is what I know so far about the issue.
The noise is coming from the larger of the two radiator fans. There is no CEL but there are codes in the computer which indicate low rpms [possible obstruction] of the fan. I did a visual check, but could not find any issues. I cleared to codes with the thought that maybe this was a fluke but after clearing the code, it came back later that day when I got home from work.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Whirling Noise From Right Front Side
I have Michelin Energy Saver AS tires with 17k miles on them. I describe the sound as a light whirling with a slight warbling variation in the noise louder from the passenger seat. I carry 42 psi in the front tires. The wear is only slight and even with no noticeable variation. I believe it is coming from the R front and is noticeable at 25 to 35 mph on smooth blacktop roads. Wind noise makes it less noticeable at higher speeds. I wonder if it could be a wheel bearing on the R front side? The sound can barely be heard in the drivers seat.

I have a high milage (210K) '07 2.4L which has a slight engine rattling noise at idle RPM at cold and operating temps, in gear or park. It is a fairly constant noise at idle but does vary a little. Otherwise, engine/tranny operate beautifully with no obvious problems.
I am concerned this could be a timing chain/tensioner related issue although I also wonder if it may be some other component. I have not been able to determine the source or location of the sound.
Chevrolet - Traverse :: Slight Humming Noise When Operating - Steering Gear Is Leaking
My 2011 Traverse makes a slight humming noise when operating. Chevrolet says the steering gear is leaking. Need a new steering gear and pump. Also said it is not covered under the powertrain warranty. Our personal mechanic says it should be covered. In April they replaced the steering gear housing kit free of charge. I am an idiot when it comes to figuring out what is supposed to be covered. Why would the steering gear housing kit be covered but not the steering gear? Why would a 2011 have problems with the steering gear? I drive like a granny. Have about 62,000 miles on it.
