View 14 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Noise From Suspension When Go Over A Bump Or Hole
Since I got my Prius V, i have this noise form the suspension... when i go over a bump, or a hole... It sounds like the exhaust is hitting on something. It could be the brakes too. It does not sound like something is broken, but more like a tin sound hitting on something...
If windows are closed the ride is smooth, but when I open i keep hearing this sounds, and its driving me crazy... Is that normal for Prius V because of the different tiers?
My Accord does not have any similar sounds driving on the same road every day... actually ride with Accord is way better... Is that normal, should I go back to dealer? Car is 3000 miles only...
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Squeaking Every Time Go Over A Medium / Big Size Bump Or Pot Hole
So, recently I've been noticing that my suspension or somewhere in the front that it squeaks every time i go over a medium - big size bump or pot hole. (avoiding big potholes of course). The suspension feels fine as in after the bump there is no continuous bouncing... Could my coils be going bad?
View 2 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Clicking Noise In Steering When Hitting Small Bump Or Hole In The Road
I have a 2011 Prius 2, with 35K miles, and have noticed a clicking sound in the steering when hitting a small bump or hole in the road. If the car is parked, I can rock the steering wheel back and forth, and hear a clicking sound. I do not remember the noise being there until recently.
Also the radio reception seems to have gotten weaker. If I am on a trip out of town, it now seems that I am looking for stronger stations frequently, as static interferes. I had the car to the dealer for this a few months ago, and they said they could not duplicate the problem
This car is about ready to drop off the warranty, and would like to have Toyota pay for the repair if it is needed.
Prius (Gen 2) :: Hole On Top Of The Dash
I noticed a rectangular hole of approximately 2"x 8" on top of the dash, near the windshield on driver's side in line with the steering wheel. Our garage is dark in the mornings, and when my wife turned on the car ('06 model), there was a faint green glow coming from this opening.
It is hard to see otherwise since it is obscured by the windshield.
Golf IV R32 :: 2004 - Oil Pan Has Hole?
My 63 year old mom owns a 2004 VW R32 and she must had hit a speed bump or something too fast. It now has a nice pin hole in the pan. I have found multiple listings on ones online, but want to order the right one. I am looking at this pan here. Is this the correct pan?
Also does it have a gasket or use RTV? Are there any other parts needed?
The swap looks pretty straight forward any tips or tricks. Gonna do it in my driveway.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Dreaded Low Oil Pressure - Hole In The Oil Pan
I had an incident with my car in which a truck ahead of me dropped some metal object and I couldn't swerve to avoid it. But, straddled it the best I could to avoid tire damage.
I made it about 50 miles before I got the dreaded low oil pressure light meaning one thing, a hole in the oil pan.
Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Hole In Roof
On the 23rd of January, car was at the dealership (9 am) for its first oil change, that rattle in the dashboard and being washed. There was also another issue to be taken care of but they didn't carry a replacement headlight. My brow light on the passenger side wasn't turning on so dealer said they had to swap the whole headlight assembly! Anyhow picked up the SFS later on that day (6 pm) and, I had to wait for the windows to clear as they were really foggy due to the fact that the vehicle had been washed and it was pretty cold outside that day (-25 F). Went to the restaurant with my wife and came back home around 8:30 pm. Car stayed parked all day on the 24th of January in the driveway. Come January the 25th, I wanted to take the SFS instead to go to work when I noticed that giant hole in the roof! Luckily the shade wasn't open so no glass inside the cabin although had the shade been open, maybe pressure wouldn't have built up. Vehicle was towed to dealership but Service Dept. was closed. Today, I shall hear from them. The loaner in the meantime, an Elantra.

I opened my hood 6 days ago to look at a possible cel issue throwing code P000A, ever thing was fine. Today I opened my hood for another reason and found my CAI had a hole in it. The pylon that has the screw that mounts to the engine tore out. No large part flew into the turbo
View 24 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Hole On Bottom Of Transmission
So I jacked up my car on stands to put in my dogbone mount insert yesterday, and my friend noticed this hole on the bottom of my transmission:
He said if you look inside you can see gears and (his words) "They look pretty dry". Is this just an inspection hole? I imagine if there was some kind of catastrophic fluid loss my transmission would shift weirdly/not at all. But so far it seems pretty normal. Its a MT btw.
Passat (B7) :: Hole Under Front Wheel Well?
I notice a hole in the wheel well that goes up to the firewall of the car, may be for the turbo? It could also be a good place to introduce NOISE into into the cabin of the car as well.

I have a 91 corolla 1.6 5 speed. There is oil in one of the spark plugs and its covering the entire bottom of the spark plug, which is also making the car sputter as it runs. I'm told the seals are bad? If so, what kind of seal is this? Where is it located inside the engine exactly? If not, what else could it be?
View 3 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Inner Side Wall Of Tire Has A Hole In It?
Last friday I was on Masspike and all of a sudden I heard a weird noise. So I stopped on the side of the highway and found out my right rear tire was gone. When I took it off I found the inner side wall of the tire has a hole in it. So I put on the donut, went to nearest sears and replaced the rear tires with new pair of tires. Now my question is can I take the wheel off the donut and put it on the other good tire and use that as a spare or do I need to buy another wheel? I ask that question because I figured if I ever get another flat again I can just use the good tire to drive around for a while before I have to get new tires.

I've discovered a rusted hole leaking oil from the oil pan on my 2006 Sonata GLS 2.4L 4 cylinder.
Trying to find a replacement oil pan but I'm not having any luck online. The oil pan for the 3.3L is for sale everywhere, but not for the 2.4L.
Googling suggested the OEM part number might be 21510-25051 but I can't confirm that?
Passat (B6) :: Stripped MAF Sensor Hole On Intake?
I stripped the MAF sensor hole on my intake. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Do they make tread inserts that small for that type of thread? I was thinking about jamming some JB weld in there and drilling/tapping that.
I know that unmetered air can get in there if it's not tight so I tried to carefully seal it up with some rtv for now.
Phaeton :: Hole In Rear Suspension Boot
During swap over of winter to summer tires I noticed some holes in the drivers side (left) rear suspension boot (cover). I assume that it is the result of rubbing against the body during suspension compression.
Considering either outright replacement of the boot or a band aid (patch) solution, along with some relieving of the suspected contact area on the body.
Suspension is functioning well otherwise. Car has 170K kilometres.
