Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Grinding Type Noise For Just A Split Second - Bad Ignition Switch?

I have a question about my 2009 Toyota corolla. About a week ago it was pretty cold out and when I started my car and I heard a grinding type noise for just a split second and it was over. It never did it again after that. Well I went to start my car yesterday and it will not start or even turn over. The dash doesn't light up, the head lights, radio, windows are door locks will not work. The battery was checked and it's fine. My husband is thinking that it maybe the ignition switch. Does this sound right?

Golf/GTI VI :: Clicking Noise From Light Switch

I'm noticing an interesting thing with my GTI...whenever I step on the gas and whenever I let go, I hear clicks coming from the light switch. I've only noticed it on low speeds, perhaps because the engine noise is low...

Prius (Gen 2) :: Headlights Went Out While Driving - Clicking Noise In Fuse Box When Switch On And Off

My wife was driving home tonight and the headlights went out. She was able to pull off the road to a parking lot. All the lights are working besides the headlights. Neither high or low beams are working. I can heard clicking noise in fuse box when switching the headlights on and off. I pull the plug off one of the headlights and stuck a new bulb in it. It still did not work.

Passat (B5) :: Clicking Noise Each Time On Pressing The Switch But Window Will Not Go Down

I have an 02 Passat with a passenger side window motor problem. The window works fine from the drivers side and will go up using the pass. side switch, but it will not go down. It makes a clicking noise each time I press the switch and the window sort of acts like it wants to move down. I took the door panel off and checked the switch and the wires going to the motor and every thing looked ok. I checked the switch with a multimeter and it appears to be ok. What else I can check?

Golf VI R :: Strange Clicking Noise Coming From Throttle Body During Ignition Shut Off

So starting with the specs: I have a Stage III+ Golf R with about 39k Miles on it. Stage III+ was added at 17k miles and has treated me pretty good. The car is driven about 3 days a week and has the oil change interval of 3k miles.

Things that I've checked or done recently:

- Cam Follower: Wasn't too bad but seemed like the outer coating was wearing off on it so I replaced it.
- Oil change: Changed the oil about 1 week ago but hadn't driven it since then until yesterday were we did about a 50 mile road trip. (No unusual things noticed)

When we came back home and parked in the garage, I noticed the sound when I turned the ignition off. It was pretty noticeable as you will see in the video. Could I possibly have a bad throttle body on my hands?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Loud Clicking Noise From Turn Signal Switch?

Example, if I'm turning the wheel to the left with the left turn signal on there will be a LOUD click, click, click ect. sound from the column. The sound is louder than the turn signal relay and can be heard with the radio on.

Today is the third time I've brought it in to have fixed and now they tell me it is "normal". They came to the conclusion that it is "normal" because two other trucks on their lot make a noticeable clicking sound and one is just as loud as mine. However, My truck JUST STARTED making the noise a few months ago and was quiet when I originally bought it.

I know this is not a big problem ,but it is annoying and I want it fixed. Anyways, my Ford dealer had bailed out on me so how do I fix it myself?

Can you hear the column switch clicking ALOUD in your truck?

Tiguan :: 2009 - Loud Screeching Noise

My wife's 2009 Tiguan has 72k miles and is a pretty good commuter. But it has been hot here in Texas, which may have attributed to this problem.

After about 5 minutes of idling, there is a loud screeching noise.

Tiguan :: 2009 - Buzzing Static Noise From All Speakers When Car Is Off And On?

Our 2009 SEL is equipped with the RNS-510 but no bluetooth. This is an early US model. Upon leaving for work yesterday and a few moments after openning the door to get inside the car, a buzzing static noise started playing from all of the speakers. Imagine white noise with a bee hive and that is the sound. The noise started before we put the key in the ignition. The noise stopped momentarily as we cranked the starter, but continued afterward. Turning on the RNS510 resulted in muffled sound like music inside a can on top of the static. Turning the unit on/off didn't change anything. Turning the motor on/off did nothing to change anything.

For the 20 minute drive to work the noise continued. My wife parked the car and the sound continued as she went into work. At the end of the day, upon returning to the vehicle the noise was gone and has not come back.

This is the second time in about 2 years this has happened. I scanned for codes and didn't get any. We have an iPhone video of it (not sure how to post that) to share at the next service. Currently the vehicle has 37,000 miles (relatively trouble free).

Tiguan :: 2009 - Clunk Noise When Pull Off The Gas After Burst Of Acceleration?

Two weeks into an 09 CPO Tiguan and I have a question about a clunk sound. I hear it (and kind of feel it under my feet) if I pull off the gas after a burst of acceleration. Kind of a muted clunk -- not too bad -- from underneath the floorboard, right as the car is getting back to its equilibrium position. Doesn't affect the driving, so my gut says not transmission (auto).

Tiguan :: 2009 Engine Stalled While Driving - Faint Squealing Noise

Ok so I have a 09 tiguan S that stalled yesterday while driving only a few short min. My wife had been driving home about 4 miles when she got home I could hear a faint squealing noise as she pulled up. I left right after and assumed it was the the ac belts it that exist, so to verify that I turned off the ac and the sound did fade. I drove with it off for a few min then turned it on again the car acted normal and cooled just fine then about 5 min later I pulled into a lot and while waiting for others to move the engine stalled and I had the engine light, epc and battery lights showing. Now it was something like 110 outside and I thought overheated but the temp gauge showed normal and I received no warnings. I smelled a burned rubber smell and I recall seeing a small puff of smoke. I could not locate anything that could have burned out. The only thing I could see that was unusual was what looked like buildup on the air intake tubes.

Toyota - Corolla :: 2009 - Noise After Turning On Ignition But Before Engine Starts Only In Very Cold Weather

have an 2009 Toyota Corolla 62K miles. If the car sits out 8 hours or more in VERY COLD (zero degrees) weather makes a 1-2 second clashing/sparking noise the split second after turning the ignition on but before engine starts. I tried to attach video/audio. The car starts and runs fine. isn't a ticking or knocking or tapping noise assoc. with bad engine. It isn't squealing noise assoc. w/ serpentine belt. I've been waiting for it to get cold enough to leave overnight at Toyota dealer. I keep wondering if it isn't related to the botched oil changed at the Toyota dealer a couple yrs ago when they forgot the oil & I ran car about 30-60 seconds. At the time, they said all was okay and did compression test (Cyl 1=178psi, #2=175 #3=180 #4=178) all within the normal specs 145-189. I got a 2nd opinion at another Toyota dealer at time who removed valve cover and inspected cam caps and scoped cylinder walls and said all was okay and compression good. No mechanical problems- uses no oil, check engine light not on, etc. What noise is and why just when very cold and car sits out long time?

Tiguan :: Key Will Not Turn In Ignition

My key won't turn in the ignition and therefore can't start.

Since the problem started I did manage to get it to start maybe 3 times after playing around with it. But, the same problem repeats after shutdown.

Sent my car to the dealer already so waiting to see what they say. If it matters it's a 2009 Tiguan 2.0T 4Motion

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Clicking Noise At Shifter When Stepping On Brakes

My son just bought a 09 Corolla LE and he gets this clicking noise every time the brakes are applied. The clicking noise comes from the Shifter.

I know that about the Shift Lock Solenoid, but this clicking sound is loud. I have been told that this is normal. So, I thought if this is what 10th Gen owners here is experiencing the same.

Tiguan :: Rear Fog Activation With EURO Switch

How do we activate the rear fog on the Tiguan? I have been playing with the coding but have as of yet found a way to activate it. I am assuming that it will be one of the lights on the hatch that is supposed to be the rear fog...but can not find or get any info.

I have the parking lights active already...now I want my rear fog active as well. I don't care about the dash icon...but I do want the light to actually work. I have done this on all of my previous cars (run the wiring etc) but this Tiguan seems to be eluding me! [IMG] [URL] ....

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Clicking Noise When Take A Turn Only In Extreme Cold Temperature

Lately it's been -20 degrees (Celsius) here in Quebec, and when i start driving the car, as soon as i take a turn, i hear a clicking noise coming from the center part of my front, it doesn't sound like it's coming from my wheels at all. It doesn't matter if i turn left or right. The noise goes away after driving for 1 minute.

I took it to the dealer, but of course, they couldn't hear it because the car was warmed up, so I'm thinking of leaving it over night? I read that Civics and Corollas have thick Diff oil that cause this?
