Golf V R32 :: Squeaking Noise From Passenger Side Increase And Decrease With Engine RPM
Symptoms : You will hear a squeaking noise from the passenger side of the car. It will increase and decrease with engine RPM, and apparently can be heard from inside the car as well. This noise is from the tensioner bearings failing...which, if gone untreated, will then cause the serpentine belt to fail.
If the belt fails, it seems that the battery light will come on, followed by engine coolant temperature spike (overheat).
Bad tensioner sound:
Confirmed failure shortly after this sound:
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.

Just like the title says i have been hearing this ringing noise in my 2003 gti vr6 and its driving me nuts. Neither my mechanic or I could find this source of this noise with the stethoscope. It seems to be coming from the passenger side of the engine but strangely only happens when I LITERALLY shake the car or when its idling and revving. The A/C isn't working either if that means anything. First time owner of a VW by the way.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Clicking Or Tapping Noise Coming From Passenger Side Of Engine Bay
1.8T... Finding the source of a weird clicking noise I keep hearing. Ever since I changed the motor mounts (although I am not sure if this has anything to do with it) after the engine warms up or after some driving, when the engine is idling I hear a clicking or tapping noise coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. It doesn't seem to tied to the rpm; I can rev the engine a little without the tapping going faster, and when a shift between neutral or park or drive the tapping will briefly slow down almost to a stop before going back to its regular pace. After the revs get above 1500 or so it seems to stop.

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.
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...
Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Faint High Pitched Whirling Noise While Cruising
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?
Prius (Gen 2) :: 2007 Whirling / Vibration Noise Coming From Engine Compartment (with Audio)
I would describe the noise as a whirling/vibration sound that can be heard as soon as the gas engine portion of the car kicks in (even in park) but gets louder and more noticeable as the car is in motion, especially at highway speeds (55 - 65mph). Opening the hood and listening to the engine block, the noise is definitely coming from around the area of the silver-covered portion by the driver's-side, which I believe is the hybrid synergy engine. The noise has gotten to the point where I really get bothered by it driving anywhere, and I have to turn up the radio to try to drown out the noise.

After a quick search i came up with it possibly being the endlinks, but my question is how do i tell if they are bad and if its the upper or lower link? after getting under the car neither were loose or anything and the bushings had slight cracks in the rubber it didnt look too bad though. anything else i should be looking for?
View 4 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Noise In Front On Passenger Side - Sway Bar Link?
Chasing a noise in the front, seems to be more on the passenger side, and I think I have it narrowed down to the link ends or subframe. I have ST coil overs, came on the car, and already did the 034 mounts and bearings to solve another noise but this one is different. The links are original and I saw some performance ones that are a bit shorter for a slightly lowered car. Should it have shorter ones due to the coil overs?
View 5 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Rattling Noise When Passenger Side Goes Over Bumps
I did my pads and rotors this weekend. On the fronts I had some difficulty with the passengers side retaining clip. It was stuck in on the bottom. I wound up bending it out of place trying to get it off, and eventually just removed the caliper without it.
I took it out for it's first regular drive today and there is a rattling noise when the passenger's side goes over bumps (could be front or back, hard to say). I have theorized that the clip is deformed enough that when it gets jostled, it bumps out onto the rim which makes it go twang (which would be consistent, it's a relatively high pitched rattle. I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but I'm not sure what I should actually do. Can I just clip it off? What purpose does it serve? I might be able to get it out with WD40 and bend it in to shape.
Golf IV R32 :: Clicking Noise When Turning On Front Passenger Side
The front passenger side is making a clicking noise when it drives and turns. It started earlier today, but it went away and then it started happening again when I got home. i am guessing its my axle ( the axle was rebuild). My dad took it for a ride and said its not the axle and that something is loose. but that's his opinion he is not a mechanic I have fk coilovers and I had all the bushing replaced. I doubt its my suspension I just installed it about 2 months ago.

Sound coming from the engine and it is coming from the passengers side of the engine. The year is 2003, LS model, and four wheel drive. Well, I took it in yesterday and the mechanic said it was the "Camshaft" and this was a normal sound. Not to mention I have had this vehicle in for 6 other problems: 3 times for the four wheel drive light malfunctioning, 2 times for the service engine light coming on and then they had to replace a seal on the left front deferential because it was leaking oil.

I have this strange noise coming from the engine compartment on the passenger side of my vehicle. Here are the characteristics of the sound:
1) Sounds a bit like a skipping tranny. Fast paced creaking type sound.
2) Only happens when coasting and the car is up to temperature. Meaning when I'm accelerating or braking the sound is not present.
BTW, the vehicle has 28k-29k miles and is 18 months old.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Loud Whine On Passenger Side Of Engine
I have an 05 jetta 2.0 and I had a loud whine on passenger side of engine. I removed serpentine belt and ran engine briefly and noise was still there. Figured it was water pump or tensioner. and when I was changing timing belt, tension, and water pump I found it was the timing belt itself that was whining. It was OEM original belt with 140,000 miles on it. The belt was in very good shape no tears just used looking. Now engine is very quiet.

Golf/GTI VI :: Noise Coming From Rear Passenger Side Wheel When Reversing
I've been getting it when reversing and it seems to be coming from the rear passenger side wheel. To me it sounds like two metals tapping. I feel like it might be the spring, but I just want a second opinion.

I just upgraded from an '08 GTI to an '08 R32. When I start my R, I get this subtle whining noise which seems to be coming from underneath the passenger side of the car. I stuck my head under the car to try and determine where it is coming from exactly, but I couldn't really tell. It's not a loud noise, but I hear it whenever the car is running. I did a search for it, but I couldn't find any posts describing this particular noise.
View 11 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Passenger Side Wobble With Rumbling Noise When Accelerate
I've got this bad wobble that occurs when I accelerate its also followed by a rumble coming from the passenger side. A friend sitting in the pass also said she felt it under her feet. I have put in new control arms tie rods and ball joints, but before I put those parts in I had a vibration at around 50-75mph which is the reason I put in new control arms and ball joints. Then Driving after the new CAs In my Jetta was driving a bit more smoother but still small vibration under harder acceleration stress.
After taking a rough turn and minimal beating I now randomly have this pretty bad wobble and rumbling noise from 2nd-5th gear early in rpms, the more stress the Louder and rougher the wobble gets. I plan on getting an alignment this week, my only other thought would be an axle? I replaced my pass side axle less then a year ago because my original one snapped but it was with one from autozone...
