Golf V R32 :: Whirring Noise When Open Driver Side Door

I heard this noise on my mkIV GTI as well. When I unlock and open the car in the AM I hear a strange "whirring" sound. It sounds like a cell phone vibrating on a hard surface. I don't think anything is broken since it has done this on two different cars. I just want to know what it is. The sound happens as soon as I open the driver-side door.

Ford - Focus :: Clicking / Whirring Sound Every Time Open The Door

My new 2013 Ford Focus is a making a very, very strange noise every time I open the door. The Ford dealer said it's normal for the type of trans and handed me the following statement: " ....vehicles equipped with the Powershift DPS6 transmission may experience a clicking noise from the transmission after the doors are unlocked, opened and prior to the engine starting, for up to 3 min.

The noise is the shift motors waking up and preparing for startup. Attempts to eliminate the noise should not be made." To make it easier to understand the situation, the following link from a YouTube video explains EXACTLY what is occurring: [URL] .....

Hearing such a ridiculous sound/concept about waking up a transmission. Note, this noise even happens when you open the passenger door. Why does the transmission need to be waked up for someone getting in the passenger side. The car cannot be driven from here.

Passat (B6) :: Mechanical Noise When First Open The Door?

I find that when I walk out to my garage in the morning and open the driver's door to get in, I hear what sounds like a small electric motor spinning for a second or two.

Clearly some system in the car initializes itself when the door opens, even before the key is inserted. What is it?

(2008 Turbo wagon, TSI engine)

Hyundai - Noises :: Intermittent Accelerator Whistling / Open Air Whirring Noise When Idling

My car developed an "intermittent" accelerator whistling noise coming thru one of the speakers (I think). The harder you accelerate - the louder the whistle. When idling, it sounds like an open air whirring noise. Of course every time I bring it to the shop - it stops and when I hear it it's never convenient to get to the shop!

Passat (B5) :: Trunk Door Won't Open With Remote / Key Or From The Switch On Driver Side Door

I'm unable to open my trunk door with the remote, using the key, or with the switch on the drivers side door. I am also pretty sure it is not frozen shut. Will I need to switch out the complete latch assembly or just need to wd-40 something? This is for a 2000 Passat 1.8T Sedan.

Passat (B6) :: Under-carriage Whirring Noise Exactly Proportional To Speed

I'm bringing my 6MT 2.0T in tomorrow, for 10K service, installation of the Euro-cupholder and to have them investigate a sound I first noticed last week. For lack of a better description, it's a "whirring" noise that is exactly proportional to speed (higher pitched at higher speeds). I'm guessing that it's either related to the clutch or the drive shaft.

I can't hear it well with the windows open. It seems to emanate from under the stick-shift. It is audible either in gear or not. (And it seems to be getting slightly worse each day).....

Passat (B5) :: Gas Tank Door Won't Open

I purchased my first VW this weekend, an '01 Passat. 1.8T, 5 speed, very fun. The only issue, despite 105k miles, is that the electrical circuit associated with the gas tank door release is dead. The local Portland mechanic has it scheduled for tomorrow, but unfortunately the gas light came on this morning. Any tips for manually releasing the gas tank door?

Passat (B5) :: 2000 - Loud Noise Like A Motor Whirring Under The Hood

I have a 2000 VW Passat 1.8T Automatic. During a cold start, I notice a rather loud noise like a motor whirring that lasts for approximately 30 seconds. My RPMs also run about 200 higher than idle during this time. After the 30 secs the noise goes away (sounds like this motor powers down) and the RPMs return to normal.

It doesn't happen every time I start the car, just when it has been sitting for more than 4-5 hours or overnight. What this is and what if anything I should do?

Passat (B5) :: Door Slammed And Now Won't Open From Inside Or Outside

I slammed my door shut and now it wont open from inside or outside, I pulled the door panel off the top and took as many card bolts out as I could and pried the card to check things out, seems like everything is working the same as the passenger door which I could get completely apart for comparison. Cables are attached and both handles move the mechanism, the lock and unlock seem to be working, the handles move free and easily but don't seem to catch anything. How can I get this door open to take the mechanism out?!?

Passat (B5) :: Driver Door Won't Recognize As Being Open

I believe that my Driver Door is not recognized as being open at times. Odd things happen. Most notably the Ding for the 'Hey you left your Lights On' does not ding. Though if I shut the Door, Lock with remote, then wait a few seconds, then unlock with remote then open the door, it dings again until I turn off the Lights.

Passat (B5) :: Driver Door Will Not Open From Inside Or Outside

My 04 audi a4 driver door will not open from the inside or outside. The bowden cable is a little loose but it has some tension, but even if that was broken i should still be able to open from the outside. the key fob will arm the alarm also.

And I can hear the door manually locking if i use the key also.i can arm the alarm only if i use the key to lock the door manually. but it will not open. i have to either crawl through the window or from the other side. Other than ripping the door panel apart and opening the door that way? Also the dash display shows the door is shut so that is a plus...

Passat (B7) :: Driver Door Won't Open From Outside Handle

Went to get into my B7 this AM and the outside door handle won't open the car. You pull on the handle, and nothing. It pulls out like normal, but acts as though it's not connected to anything. After getting in the passengers door and crawling over the console , the inside door handle moves maybe an inch, and then stops, feeling like something is jammed. Just made an appointment with the dealer, and he said they've had a few problems with the cables inside the door that controls the handles and latch.
