Passat (B5) :: Whining Sound From Transmission At Very Low Speeds?
My 2004 V6 has about 21,000 miles, and has run perfectly from day one. However, the last few days I've noticed a whining sound which I think is from the transmission. when I first start out, at very low speeds. I don't think it occurs at higher speeds, but I'm not sure because of road and engine noise. The noise doesn't really bother me--goes away quickly. But is this something I need to have the dealer look at? It's still under warranty.

Ever since I bought my 06 LX in November last year, it's either the transmission or possibly the engine that makes a whining sound. It's a very noticeable sound, every passenger I have mentions the sound. It starts as soon as I step on the gas.
I'm finally getting annoyed with the sound, and I'm wondering what I could possibly do. It's just out of warranty, 71000. I'll try to have a video recording of the sound by tomorrow.
Isuzu - Ascender :: Loud Whining Sound Coming From Transmission Area
My engine light came on last November which was diagnosed as “fan clutch seized”. My automatic transmission’s coolant fan clutch was replaced. Since then and on more than one occasion while returning from skiing in the mountains, I will hear this loud whining sound coming from the transmission area. I only hear it when the car is de-accelerating and I have not been able to replicate it once I am out of the mountains and the outside temperature is warmer. Is this a faulty fan clutch issue?
View 2 RepliesFord F-150 (2004-2008) :: Whining Sound Coming From Transmission Or Somewhere Else In Drivetrain
2008 F150 HD Payload package with 5.4L and 4spd auto, 61,000 miles.
Recently developed a whining sound coming from the transmission or somewhere else in the drivetrain. Does not sound like rear axle because it changes pitch with the change of gears. I proved this by disengaging OD while driving and the whine was higher pitched once the transmission down shifted. I did some other research and found a reference to the #9 bearing going bad in a 4R75 trasnmission in a Crown Victoria. I am going to fight for any repair to be covered by the powertrain warranty even though it just clicked 61,000. The dealer has done ALL maintenance on this truck since it was new (following severe duty recommendations).
Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Whining Sound Coming From Transmission Area
So I've been getting a whining sound coming from the transmission area. I checked my transmission fluid and it's nice and pink so I checked my transfer case fluid… It came out like black watery gear oil! How bad is this? I am putting synthetic Dex/Merc back in it. It's got me a tiny bit concerned.

Does your car make an annoying whining sound when accelerating? My engine wines almost as if it had a S/C. You can only hear it when you rev under 2200rpm.

This morning I just began noticing a low pitched whining sound when I accelerate at low speeds (below 30 mph). The sound seems to disappear at higher speeds for some reason. It bothered me so much that I arranged to have all the timing belt service done....I have been putting this off....84K miles now on a V6 Passat. I'm thinking it is the water pump noise, but I am not an expert on cars like most of you are. What all SHOULD be done when you change the timing belt?
View 4 RepliesPassat (B7) :: Whining Sound That Increases With RPMs After Stereo Replaced
After having the stereo replaced over the weekend, our car has now developed a whining sound that increases with rpm's. My wife didn't notice the whining sound until today, which means the car was driven at least around 100 miles between the installation and this morning when she noticed it after leaving the house.
It sounds the same as I've heard before when the alternator makes a noise through the speakers, however the sound doesn't sound as though it's coming through the speakers. With the Pioneer unit that we have, you can turn off the audio source, but I don't really see a way to completely turn off the unit.
I went down with the thought of removing the fuse for the audio system, however the manual states that at the time of writing, they couldn't document all of the fuse mappings and to refer to the dealer.
We have an appointment in the morning to have the dealer check out the noise, but if it ends up being the stereo install that caused the problem, I'm thinking they may charge me for the service visit.
Which fuse controls the stereo so that I can pull that to see if the noise stops?
Passat (B6) :: Transmission Fluid Migration Into Wiring Harness
Transmission fluid migrating into the wiring harness? Just looking for a little education on the issue, solution, and prevention.
View 1 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Oil Or Some Dark Greasy Fluid Right In Front Of The Transmission Pan
Today I finally looked under the car and notice that there was oil or some dark greasy fluid right in front of the transmission pan. Which the front half of the transmission pan has grease like fluid on it, but I notice its coming more from the front of transmission area but up higher up. What area this might be coming from? Notice that its also running down two small piping. I think this is where the smell of burning oil or burning something is coming from.

So when I had my timing belt done my mechanic showed me that I had some transmission oil leaking It didn't look like much but looked like it was coming from gasket my v6 Passat has 200k on it and I heard that transmission fluid shouldn't be changed on any car with high mileage the transmission doesn't really act up sometimes when its cold it takes a little bit of time to shift to first but when its warmed up its just fine, what are my options, a full drain and filter change, which I am skeptical about. Adding some new fluid, I just gotta know if I gotta replace the drain plug. and then just a fluid change drain and add.

I have a 2000 F250 4x4, it has been sitting in my garage for about 3 weeks. I cranked it up and backed it up about 10'. A few hours later I noticed a lot of transmission fluid on the floor. I remember hearing a hissing sound when I cut it off but didn't think anything about it. The fluid is on passengers side of truck, right side of the engine. Most of fluid is toward the rear but some ran down in front of the axle also. It's up high also, I've got fluid on rear of valve cover. I've cranked it up and let it run but can't get it to leak. Where did all this fluid come from?
View 5 RepliesFord 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Lack Of Boost And Air Escaping Sound
Well, since I replaced the MAP hose a few weeks ago the old girl has been running fine. Until yesterday. I was leaving work and she had low boost, less than 10PSI, and as I passed by a parked tractor trailer I could hear the sound of high pressure air escaping because I had my window rolled down.
So today I checked it out. I found three possible leaks spots, BUT no "smoking gun". Take a look at the pics. The damage you are seeing is on the outside of the hot side boot at the turbo and the bottom of the cold side CAC tube. The cracks don't appear to penetrate to the inside. Could these still be possible leak sites? IDK.
I'm going to order replacements anyway. Ford wants WAY to much for these parts. I checked the MAP hose and it is just like new from several weeks ago. Also, I inspected the inter-cooler as best that I can without removing it. I don't see any issues with the tanks or the tank-to-core mounting. It all looks normal. If it does fail where does it normally fail at?
Passat (B5) :: 2001.5 - Hesitation And Lack Of Power
So woke up this morning take kid to school, got about 1-2 miles from home and engine light came on and had to switch to tiptronic because seemed the engine was struggling to move the car and downshift and was able to drive somewhat fine. but at stop signs the car idle and shook slightly then taking off was a bear because it lacked power. I did notice my mpg was reading bout 10-15mpg less then normally.
I going back to bed because I work graveyard and will look at it more when I get up. but the oil looked good and wasn't any engine burning smell. the only odor i think i could smell was almost like coolant. What could be causing this?
Passat (B5) :: 2002 - Stutters Little - Lack Of Power
So my wife's 2002 Passat, 1.8T, is acting weak on the interstate. Under passing conditions, it seems to lose power, and even stutters a little. Cruising and idle are both fine.
It has blinked the check engine light at me a few times when the stuttering happens, but when I check for codes, there are none stored. I replaced the plugs and coil packs about a year and a half ago.
Passat (B7) :: No Power Steering - Complete Lack Of Stability And Traction Control
Associated symptoms include no power steering, complete lack/absence of stability and traction control. This has happened to me a few times in the past, but has never stayed in after multiple start ups (and other remedial action). 2-3 times it's happened on startup, and cleared after a restart, one time while driving, and cleared on its own. This is going on the list of issues with less than 7k on the car.... 2012 3.6 sel

Here's the scoop, was driving down the freeway the other day, car is a 2001 PT Cruiser going about 65-70 MPH when all the sudden it felt as if I had hit something, a loud bump sound which came from underneath the engine, then an immediate reduction in speed and acceleration. After that, I was trying to accelerate the car, the RPMs were revving like crazy but the car would not go more than 15 MPH, while the RPMs were revving and revving, almost as if I was in park.
Got the car to the side of the road, opened the hood and found that the top of the dipstick (transmission) had blown off and shot transmission fluid all over the engine. Unsure of why this happened but sure that was what the loud sound was before the drastic drop in acceleration.
After that I had the car towed to my house, now it will start, but not drive in reverse at all, i'm afraid to try driving it to inspect it further but that's pretty much where I am at right now. There's 117k miles on this car...
Ford Transmission :: Checking Transmission Fluid Level - Accurate Reading?
5.8L C6 .... I can't get a good reading on my transmission fluid level. When the truck is cold the level is well above (2") the checkered area.
When the truck is hot, I can't read the dipstick. It either has a little bit of oil well above the checkered area, or there isn't enough in the transmission to register.
How to get an accurate reading?
Golf V R32 :: Whining Like The Transmission Noise On Japanese Motorcycle
My car is making a strange whining noise - a bit like the transmission noise on a Japanese motorcycle, or the noise a radio makes if the suppression isnt there. It goes up and down in pitch with the engine revs - so is 'something' attached, or internal in the engine. It sort of started around about the time the fuel recall was done, but I cant say for sure that it was exactly then. Its prevalent enough that you cant hear the normal growl of the engine. A Bearing maybe ???? water pump ?? AC compressor ?? (Its still there if you turn off the AC, BTW).....
