Passat - Volkswagen :: 2006 - Front End Vibration On Acceleration?
I recently I had the cv boots replaced on my 2006 VW Passat 2.0. Since then the front vibrates upon acceleration. I have taken the car to a different mechanic than the one who did the cv boots and he says there may be a broken motor mount. I am skeptical about this diagnosis but now am completely stumped.
View 3 RepliesPassat :: 2006 - Vibration In Front Right Part Of Car After Boot Replaced
I recently had my front right boot replaced due to a hole. After being replaced there was a vibration in the front right part of the car (same place as where the boot was replaced.) Now I brought the car back to the shop where the boot was replaced, and they told me this vibration was caused by a bad wheel bearing in that section. After the shop replaced this bad wheel bearing, the problem still existed. Now this vibration happens only when I accelerate to 3300-3500RPM, and occurs at times when I make turns. What this might be or how this is caused?

Okay, so I'm now up to 154,000 miles on my '08. Not doing too bad replacing the the intercooler, starter, rear brakes (3rd set), rotors, front brakes (1st set at 135k ) and some other regular maintenance over the last 30k or so. Started getting some vibration under the front between 15 and 35 mph a couple of months ago. Felt a little slop in the cv area so I replaced the axles. Still getting the vibration, moreso when it's cold than warmed up. Put it up on the rack and feel some serious slop on the passenger side where the shaft enters the trans. I think the bearing in the trans might be the culprit. I'm struggling finding information on pulling the trans and doing a rebuild or even general parts replacements.
View 5 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Getting Vibration From Right Front Of Car When Driving Above 50 MPH
I have a vibration coming from what seems to be the right front of the car when I exceed 50mph. It doesn't matter what type of road it is (concrete vs. asphalt) and it doesn't go away.
The vibration has a pattern to it, the best I can describe it is a cycle (wrrr----wrrr----wrr). My wheels are 18s with OEM Pirellis, car is a 3.6l sport wagon. I have never owned a car with this brand so I cannot rule out the tire. Naturally the dealer hears the noise but they say nothing is wrong with the car.
What I can do to make it go away. This noise distracts me form the rattles the dash, hatch and pillar make.
Toyota - Highlander :: 2006 - Front End Vibration / Wobble At Mid
I purchased a used 2006 Toyota Highlander AWD about 4 months ago. Ever since I bought it, it has had a vibration / wobble from the front end that can be felt through the steering wheel and acceleration petal. Only happens between 40-45 mph. I have brought it to the dealer many times and every time they balance the tires. Last time they said it was a faulty motor mount and replaced it. The problem has not been fixed with this repair.
View 1 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Front Suspension Clunking Vibration At Low Speeds
This just started happening on the driver side. Going over bumps and slight road wobble type imperfections make a medium pitched clunk sound. The sound stops as soon as I press the brakes ( which I just replaced last week). I do have a worn out bushing on the curved lower control arm. Could that be it? Do I need to replace all control arms or can I do just the curved set? If thats the issue.

Just recently I've noticed my front end on my B6 3.6 4mo vibrates during the initial start-up in the morning. After the car warms up the vibrations go away. I had new brakes, oil change and tire rotated recently. I checked the cold start air pressure on the wheels (Nexen 235-40-18) and they are at 38 PSI, cold. All tires still have their balance weights also. I can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and seat. This vibration only started after I had the mentioned work done on my car.

My 08 passat seems to shutter or vibrate at higher and lower speeds. It comes from the wheels(front). At first I thought my wheels aren't balanced, but the VW dealership said everything is fine.???huh.. they roadtested it and nothing...but others that drive with me totally notice it..Major road noise because of it.
They also sold me winter tires and rims and they wore out after 25k same noise?... "Broken beads".... they said i hit a pot hole.. I don't think so.... So what do you think? Rotors? if so how much am i gonna get jacked ..
Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2006 - Vibration Above 55+ From Passenger Front?
In my 2006 Ranger XLT, 4.0L V6, 2WD Manual; I am getting vibration from what appears to be the passenger front. I have so far replaced the front wheel bearings (both sides), replaced front shocks and checked rear shocks, rotated tires (to see if it changed) and had front tires balanced. I've also had a friend follow me on the freeway and check the wheel to see if is bouncing, wheel appears to be glued to the road. I have done all the front suspension checks I can and find no indications it is the lower ball joints or tie-rod ends.
This vibration is very in consistant, in different lanes it is better/worse. At times I feel it more in the steering wheel, others my seat and at times the gear shift. I don't believe it to be the engine mount(s) cause when it is vibrating I can shift into netural and the vibration does not change, I have also performed the 5K rev (FORD maitn. manual) and the engine is smooth (along with my expierence with bad mounts in my '94).
Passat (B5) :: Vibration Coming From Front Of The Engine After Brakes Fixed
Yesterday, I went to pick my car up from getting an oil change (full synthetic, Mobil 1 5w-30) and an estimate on brakes. turned out to not be quite as much as i had anticipated. while i was in making an appointment for the brake job, my mechanic and i were joking about how if it's not one thing, its another on VW's. And how the car will be in great shape after i get the brakes fixed/replaced.
So i go outside to drive home. When i start the car, there is this odd squeaking/vibration sound coming from the front of the engine. I immediately shut it down and go get the mechanic. after 30 minutes of muddling over it, we determine that it cannot be determined from just looking at it. so they're going to check it out on wednesday when it goes in for brakes.
A little more info, it is definitely something to do with the serpentine belt, because the sound is definately coming from the drivers side front of the engine. If you listen near the timing belt cover there is no sound so i'm pretty sure its not that. and the car drives fine, besides the weird noises that make it sound like a diesel at idle.
its a 2002 1.8t 5 speed wagon, 143,000 miles. I know 5w-30 mobil 1 is not 502 certified.
Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Unknown Vibration After Front Axle Replacement?
I have a 2001 b5.5 passat sedan i recently picked up for cheap. The car was on cut springs and blown struts. I just installed JOM blue Line coilovers on it to solve the suspension problem. While i was doing this i realized both the cv boots were torn and needed replacing. I replaced the axles. The passat is a 1.8t with tip tronic trans. After i did the axles when i put the car in drive and let it idle i get a fairly noticeable vibration through out the car. It does not happen while driving or while in neutral. This did not happen before i did the axles. It doesnt make much sense to me?

I bought a brand new 2010 Sonata in April 2010. So far I only have 2500 miles on it. The problems I am having are:
1. When I apply the brakes, there is some vibrating sounds coming...
2. The passenger side front tire does not hold air more than 25-26 psi.. If I raise it to 34 or even 32 psi, it drops down to 26 psi within a week and then stops leaking...
GMC - Sierra :: 2006 - Front End Vibration / Grease Leaking Out Of Rear Seal Of Hub
I have a 2006 gmc sierra, 4x4, 1/2 ton, has 155,000 miles on it. I recently changed both front hubs on my truck. They didn't have any play in them just noise. I had one new front hub that was leaking grease out of the rear seal. I took that one back off and got a new one. Must have had a bad rear seal. Now I'm getting a front end vibration at highway speeds. Between 70-75mph. It gets worse when turning left when highway turns. It goes completely away when turning right at highway speeds. It doesn't shake in the steering wheel. Feels like its coming from the left front area or left front tire. More in the floor boards. So i rotated my tires, and its not as bad but still is there in the same spot. I've checked everything.
Cv axles have no tears in the boots and aren't spinning out any grease. I turn the steering back and fourth while the truck was on the ground and I didn't notice any play in any of the front end components. The only thing I did notice was the passenger side inner tie rod boot had a bunch of grease built up on it. But the boot was actually full. Could one of the bad wheel bearings caused something else to go bad? Warped rotor? Truck doesn't shake or vibrate when braking either.
Passat (B5) :: Rotational Vibration (front To Back) During Mid To Hard Acceleration In 5th Gear
I have what feels like a rotational vibration (front to back) during mid to hard acceleration in 5th gear (60-65+mph) and its driving me crazy trying to figure this out. I can slightly feel it under hard acceleration in 3rd gear as well.
I have tried two different sets of wheels (both after market and stock) with no luck. I am starting to think it is in the motor and not the suspension... Or could it be the trans? What can I check/inspect to get how to tackle this?

Passat (B5) :: Front Brake Noise - Groaning / Vibration / Creaking Right At The Very End Of Stop
I recently replaced the brakes on my '99 Passat with all new rotors and pads. I used Mintex pads in front, as recommended by Adirondack Auto Brokers, and after a couple thousand miles, they are all broken in. The car stops fine and the pedal feels good, but there is always a groaning/vibration/creaking right at the very end of the stop. Nothing unsafe or a problem, but just annoying. It is only when the car comes to a complete stop at the last 6 inches of motion. If I let the brake pedal up slowly from a stop, it will also do it. What can I do to get rid of this, or is it from the pads and I just have to live with it until they are replaced?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B7) :: Audible Rumbling With Vibration At Front / Mid Of Vehicle Under Specific Circumstances
2014 Passat 1.8T Gen III manual... Experiencing an audible rumbling with vibration at the front/mid of vehicle under specific circumstances.
*93 octane tune (high torque at low rpm)
*barely perceptible in 3rd, but more in 4th and very much in 5th
*about 1700-2200 rpm ONLY when deep into boost - as soon as I even slightly reduce torque, it goes away
*seems to be related to engine firing frequency (i.e., 2000 rpm = 66Hz firing frequency...still audible and tactile at same time)
*not related to road speed
*sweeping through problem area in 1st or 2nd goes too fast to develop the rumble.
Hypotheses:
*half shaft shake (torque related dynamic runout)
*engine mount/trans mount groundout from torque reaction
*exhaust system ground out due to torque reaction.
It doesn't feel like a misfire, not slipping clutch. I would hate to have to get a 91 octane tune or just avoid the sweet torque at 2k!
Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Strong Vibration Under Throttle
OK, I've got a 2006 2.0t with 76k on it. It's been a problem car, but I thought I'd nailed everything down. but the last month or so when I put gas in it it'll start rough. Today on the freeway I floored it to pass someone and it started vibrating violently and the check engine light started blinking, I let off the gas and suddenly the vibration went away and it was just smooth as can be. But when ever I accelerate through 2.5-4k on the tach it gets rough again. No clue what's going on and unfortunately I'm not in a spot where I can fix anything expensive on it. What's going on?

I have a vibration problem on my 2006 passat. while driving, i noticed that there is a knocking/rattling vibration on my gas pedals and sometimes i feel it inside the car during 60 mph at round 2000 RPM. I have been trying to figure it out but i couldn't seem to find the problem. Also, I hear a metallic knocking noise when i start my engine.
View 2 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Rattle / Vibration Noise That Happens When Accelerate
So I took my R into the dealership to have them look into the rattle/vibration noise that happens when I accelerate. They say that they looked into it and found nothing that was loose and said everything was fine.
When I first got the car I was showing it off to a friend of mine, letting him hear the intoxicating exhaust note, he was impressed, then I rev it and he was like hmmm what was that? Needless to say I was a bit embarrassed.
At this point I don't like getting on the gas in fear that someone will hear this noise and I cringe when I hear it. It's unacceptable for a $30k+ car. The noise does seem to get better once the car is heated up, but that's only after quite a bit of driving and its still there, just not as bad.
I'm taking the car in again tomorrow for something unrelated and I'm going to make sure I give it a few revs so they can hear what I'm hearing.
