Passat (B7) :: Clunking Around The Plastic Inside Of Trunk Lid
I noticed something clunking around in the plastic piece that is on the trunk lid itself - the piece that covers the brake lights. When the trunk goes up or down, there is a distinct noise that is something rolling around in there.
I pulled off the access panel to get to the lights, but is does the rest of it just snap off if I pull at it or use a pry tool?
Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 - Rear Popping / Clunking Sound
I have a 2012 GT lowered on st coil overs. I'm getting a popping/clunking sound coming from the rear. It happens at random times. In turns, going over bumps, straight, and on flat surfaces. I thought it might be the dreaded subframe clunk so I got the Tyrol sport deadset rigid kit and that didn't work. I have tried raising and lowering the car with the coil over adjustments and it makes the noise still. I have also taken the rear coil overs completely off two times to inspect them and all mounts both times using new bolts and retorqued to spec. Also while i had them off I have jerked and pushed on everything they are attached to see if there is any play in anything. I see no signs of anything bumping or rubbing under the back end and the sound is getting worse.

Over the past month or two, I've noticed a clunking sound coming from the front brakes when you apply the brakes. It seems to only happen when you're backing up and after the car has sat a while.

Packed my car with luggage in the trunk got to my destination and I can't get the trunk open. From the trunk itself to the release on the door to the button on the remote nothing will open it. I am screwed because I really need to open this trunk and no VW dealers are open.

My car is making almost like a clunking sound when starting. It doesn't do it all the time, mostly it is when its a cold start but its happening more frequent. I have the push button start, would warranty cover this?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B7) :: 2012 SE - Trunk Will Not Pop Open Intermittently
I own a 2012 Passat SE, this is the situation-
1) The trunk will unlock when I use the key or the interior switch.
2) The trunk will not "pop" open intermittently.
However they deal primarily with stuck trunk doors; mine is not stuck. It just won't pop open all the time.
Passat (B7) :: 2012 - Trunk Button On Door Not Working
I have had my '12 S for two weeks and love the car. I am just starting to figure out the car and what I want to update/upgrade. But the button on the driver's door isn't working. Before I take it to the dealer, for fear of looking stupid if the fix is simple, is there a fuse I should check or something else I'm missing that would prevent the button from opening the trunk? The fob works and if I use the handle on the truck it opens fine. If there is a fuse I should check?

I heard a humming (motor) sound coming from my trunk area today. Car was off since previous evening. Sounded like maybe electric fuel pump? It stopped when I pressed smart key button and is not doing it now, but......

Getting a sub-frame spacer and bolt kit tomorrow... Hopefully that will resolve the clunking sound I occasionally hear up front.. Everything is tight and solid up front, suspension-wise, so we'll see if this fixes the issue. If nothing else, it's a cheap 'mod'..
View 8 RepliesPassat (B7) :: 2013 - Making Clunking Sound?
I purchased back in January my 2013 Passat and today for the first time, I noticed that when I turn my steering when the car is not moving, I hear a clunking sound and I can actually feel the clunk too.
When I'm driving I don't feel or hear anything. It's really when the car is on but not moving.
This is getting annoying because this is the 3rd time something is going wrong with my car.
Going back to the clunking, I was reading that it's a common problem with most VW vehicles.
What it could be. I don't wanna look like an idiot that's been going to the dealer so often for these types of issues.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2012 F350 - Clunking / Crunching Sound In Steering Only When Cold Outside
So, I have this problem that comes back when the temperatures drop below about 20 degrees F. The truck is a 2012 F350 diesel with 15k miles and has done it since it had 3,000 miles on it. When turning in an intersection, or just moving the steering wheel left to right, it makes a clunking sound up in the front steering area and you can feel it a little as well. I have taken it to the dealer and they tightened the body mounts, but that did nothing. Once it warms up, the sound is gone.
This, coupled with the rear end clunking loudly over every bump and pothole when it is cold out, makes this truck a real noisy/annoying vehicle in the winter.
Here is a video of the steering noise, it is louder in person: [URL] ....
Passat (B7) :: 2012, 2.5 SE - Clear Coat Peeling Near Trunk / Rear Panel Area
My MY2012 Passat 2.5 SE currently at 37k miles all of a sudden is showing clear coat peeling near the trunk/rear panel area. Car is a CPO and clean carfax (no accidents) and currently still under warranty. Planning on taking it back to the dealership and hopefully start a case for warranty work under VWoA.
I've never encountered clearcoat failure this early on, case in point my B5 (MY1999) still has excellent clear coat uniformity despite the paint/body being 17+ years old.
Passat (B6) :: 2008 - Clunking Sound When Move Steering Wheel
So my wife's '08 Passat (2.0T Sedan) started making this weird clunking type of sound when you move the steering wheel. It can be parked or moving and it sounds. It is not speed related it sounds like the steering is crapping out. I'm dropping the car at the dealer on saturday ....
View 10 RepliesCamry :: XLE - Clunking In The Rear Sounds Like Something Rolling Around In Trunk
My wife claims that it sounds like something rolling around in the trunk. I emptied the trunk and checked the spare tire and jack, it was all good.
I drove the car last night in the rain, I think that I heard something once, not the end of the world noise that she describes. Tonight I plan to crawl under and look at the sway bar bushings etc. She claims that it does it mostly when she hits a "big bump". The real cause/solution is probably not to hit big bumps!
I think the sway bar bushings usually make a popping noise, maybe its the sway bar link.
Mazda - Miata :: 1994 - Clunking Noise From Trunk On Bumps?
I've got a '94 Mazda miata which is in good shape, with among other things a fair number of suspension upgrades. It drives really well, other than the clunk. On the occasional bump it clunks as if something is loose on the driver's side rear. I've checked the shocks, springs, jacked it up and inspected everything I can think of. I'm looking for wisdom from your decades of experience (in your terms wasted time) on what it might be.
View 3 RepliesPassat (B7) :: 2012 - Regular Frequency Sound While Driving On Highway
This is on an 2012 SEL, 34K on it. Since the last couple of months, I have noticed that there some wub-wub-wub sound coming the wheels, well, at least from the road surface while drivng on highway speeds.
The sound is just like something is touching the tires, but can't be sure. I may have sensed some very minute shaking as well which may seem correlating with the wub-wub frequency. But as you can see, I am not quite sure how describe it. It is not a distinct sound, not something very obvious. But it is there. I asked my SO too, and both of use can notice the sound independently, so it is perfectly reproducible. The sound appears to be coming from the front, but it is hard to pin point. I also tried opening the window at 65 mph, but the wind and road noise just drowns out all other sounds.
I have thought of getting its wheels balanced as the first step. Went to Costco but apparently they balance only the wheel with tires sold by them on them. I am thinking of taking it to the dealership but want to be prepared by some basic info myself. Hence this question. Hopefully, they wont come and tell me that the wheel drive shaft or some such needs to be changed.

I have a 2013 XLE V6 and the trunk no longer sits evenly. Where the lights meet at the back of the car the trunk lights stick out about 1/2 inch further than the quarter panel lights and the gap on the right side is much bigger than the left.
I swear I have not had any accidents or issues hauling anything that would have torqued this out of whack.
Accent RB (2012+) :: LED Lights Mounted In The Trunk
That one little bulb on the left just doesn't cut it.
This afternoon I finally had a chance to wire in two 10" strips of LED lights into the back of my SE. Here's how it turned out (and yes, I need to clean my trunk):
Not bad at all! I shot a bunch of video and will try and find time tomorrow to edit it together for a DIY.
