Tiguan :: Light Rattling Noise During Acceleration?

Noticed a light rattling noise during acceleration? It only seems to do it at lower rpms then stops? I feel like I remember reading something about the wastegate causing this? but I don't remember where i saw that?

Tiguan :: Front Right Suspension Is Making Rattling Noise

Any 'rattle' from their front suspension when going over high-frequency, low speed bumps (manhole covers, potholes etc)?Sounds like a loose strut mount or shock. It's not a creaking sound - a definite rattle - so I don't think it's the engine mount issue that I've read about elsewhere. Car is brand new and is going in for a 60 day courtesy check in a couple of weeks.

Tiguan :: 2013 - Turbo Making Rattling Noise In 2 - 3 Km RPM Range

My Tiguan is 2013 with 3k miles on it. There is a rattling sort of noise in the 2-3k RPM range which I think is turbo related. It is much louder when cold and quieter when warmed up. Is that normal turbo noise in the Tiguan? If so, why does it minimize when warm? And why does it not continue above 3k RPM? My Audi A4 with similar 2.0 Turbo does not make this noise.

Tiguan :: 2010 - Squeaking / Rattling Noise From Trim Points

So we've recently surpassed 11,000 miles on our 2010 Wolfsburg. Overall we really love the Tiguan and aside from a few minor issues, it's been trouble free.

Over the past month I've been putting a lot of miles in doing some out of state travel and have been on some roads that lets say, have been less than smooth ... lots of potholes (filled and not), old pavement, etc and I'm starting to get, or maybe just notice some squeaks and rattles.

Most of them seem to be coming from trim points ... at least thats how it sounds, but the one that is really annoying me the most is the drivers side sun visor. Even when locked into position there's a little bit of play in the visor and it's a really annoying squeak.

Tiguan :: 2012 - Clunking / Rattling Noise Coming From Front Passenger Side Suspension Arm

I just purchased my first VW, a 2012 Tiguan SE in Night Blue Metallic. The level of fit and finish, handling, and general feel are miles ahead of my old '04 Jeep Liberty.

Anyway, I've had the car for about 250 miles and have noticed a clunking/rattling noise coming from what sounds like the front passenger side suspension arm. The noise is fairly quiet but seems to consistently happen when turning left over uneven pavement.

I plan on taking it to the dealer this weekend and it is only a minor annoyance, but a shame since the rest of the vehicle is so quiet and refined.

Tiguan :: 2014 - Buzzing Noise From Sunglass Bin Area

The sunglass bin, in the overhead console that includes map lights and sunroof controls, has been buzzing since a couple of weeks after I bought the vehicle. I've taken it to the dealer several times, but they can never reproduce the issue. Today, I decided to take a closer look myself. I removed the bin and then drove for a bit; the buzzing noise continued, even with the bin door removed. Therefore, the buzzing must be coming from the plastic trim around the sunglass bin.

IS F (2008-2014) :: Rattling Noise From Suspension / Clunk Or Slight Jerk When Shift Into First Gear

I recently got my 09 ISF and had a few questions pertaining to some noises I'm hearing. Of course I'm hearing the ticking from the motor but until it causes any issues I can live with it.. My real questions deal with

A: When I go over a bump such as a pot hole cover or something that makes my suspension articulate quickly at low speed, I hear a rattling noise from what seems like the suspension / hub. If it makes any difference in on 2012 shocks and soft springs. (my extended warranty is kicking in soon so I hope that it doesn't play a roll in it as I'm sure they will be quick to deny it)

B: When I am coming to a stop or slowing down and the car shifts into first on its own (I think only in manual mode) there is a clunk / slight jerk sometimes... It may be coming from the rear end? Is it some type of locking or unlocking that's going on?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 FX4 - Rattling Kind Of Noise Coming From Middle Dash Area

I have a 2011 F150 FX4 with the traction control. When the tires spin (like taking off on a hill in the rain - that's when i noticed it) and I let off to let everything settle down, I hear a rattling kind of noise coming from the middle dash area, maybe on the engine compartment side of the firewall. It sounds like a rubber ball in a box being jostled around. What this might be?

Tiguan :: 2011 SEL 4Motion - Rattling Under Acceleration Usually Around 2500 RPM Or So

Is rattling under acceleration normal on the tig? Sounds like a heatshield to me or something, usually around 2500 rpm or so, pretty disappointing on a 35k dollar vehicle.

Imagine a drawer of silverware being shaken around, that's kind of what it sounds like, mostly noticeable with the windows down.

Tiguan :: 2012 - Loud Whining / Growling And Rattling Engine Noises

Our 46K mile 2012 Tiguan starting making some pretty loud whining/growling/rattling engine noises recently so I took it to the dealer shop and they diagnosed a bad accessory belt tensioner. However, they didn't have one in stock and would have to order it. Well, that's fine but it's a 300 mile round trip to the dealer so I came home and ordered one from ECS Tuning.

I found a copy of an official VW (ETKA?) procedure on the web for replacing the tensioner for the TSI in a Golf so I suspect the procedure for a Tiguan is similar: remove the bolt for the secondary water pump and move the pump out of the way, remove the end bolt on the tensioner mounting shaft, remove the three bolts from the pendulum/dogbone, support the engine, remove the top two bolts from the passenger side engine mount, drop the engine about 2 inches and pull the tensioner out.

To be honest, I was very surprised that the dealership didn't have a tensioner in stock. This was a rather large and pretty good dealership shop (three service advisors). I guess accessory tensioner failure is really rare on the TSI.

Tiguan :: 2014 - Misfire On Cylinder 1

So, my 2014 Tiguan started having a misfire on cylinder 1. It has 35000kms with 80% highway. I have an APR stg 1 tune. The misfire started at 30,000 or so. I took it to the dealer and they said I would have to get the tune removed before they could look at it... I did some trouble-shooting on my own. Moved coils, stayed on #1. Replaced coils. It came back. Changed plugs, stayed on #1. Drove three hours to get the tune removed and back three hours... The whole week the dealer has been hesitant to say they will do anything on warranty. Spent most of their time trying to prove my changing the plugs and coils caused the problem. Finally, yesterday they put a call in to VW Canada who agreed to change the injector and manifold. The dealer called to say I need the carbon cleaning done. Of course I do... I agreed to it but asked for pictures. I change my oil every 5000 kms and drive almost all the time on the highway.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Rattling Sound In The Interior?

Experiencing rattling sounds in the interior of any kind? I have for instance, the front passenger seatbelt holder rattles whenever going on bumps or just a rough road. I did play with it to see what was wrong or anything loose, no luck.

Another rattling sound I've been hearing was from the sub in the back. Behind the backseat headrest, keeps rattling whenever a rap song or any genre of music with nice bass kicks in. I have no ML package. Mind you, I have my tremble to max, mid at 2 bars under max, bass at 2 bars under max, and the rattling starts around volume 30. I feel as if something is loose under there. About to download a bass test onto my phone to play through bluetooth, but don't want to blow out my sub at the same time.

Tiguan :: 2014 - Ignition Rattle On Cold Start

So I am hearing a weird noise when I start up my Tig after it's been sitting at least overnight. I'm not sure when it started because if the windows are up when I start I can't hear it inside, so for all I know it's been happening since before the warm weather arrived. But anyway... It's a brief rattle, kind of high and plastic-y, like maybe a half-second long or less, when I first start up. If I turn it off and then start it again, no rattle. Don't hear it again until the Tig has sat for a while.

No CELs or anything or other signs of trouble. It's a 2014 with 24k miles, bought CPO at 19k.

Tiguan :: 2014 - AC Is Blowing Cool Air / What Is The Temperature Range

My AC started blowing cool air last summer.My wife who drives it daily noticed that it wasn't as cold as when we first got it.I was making an appointment to take it in when the clock spring broke and we got all sorts of lights on the dashboard.It was still under warranty when I took it in and they gave us a loaner car.They told us that they changed the compressor,clock spring(which he said was a common thing to go on cars) there was also a trouble code on the turbo. That took them the longest to fix

.They ended up replacing a sensor and then found out it was bad wiring. Fast forward almost a year later and the weather is starting to get warm again here in NYC. I tested the AC and it is blowing cool air again. This time I put a thermometer in the center vent and it is blowing about 54.8 F after 5 minutes. The outside temp was 66.F. I called the dealer and took it in after work today and the service adviser said that 54.8 F was within range.I insisted that they keep it over night and have a tech check it and also do an oil change in the morning since it has 30K miles on it.I was time for one again. My question is... what the temperature range is for the AC in my Tiguan?

I made him give my wife another loaner (2016 Jetta) and when she got home I put the same thermometer in the center vent and it was blowing 40.2 F after 5 minutes.Much colder than my Tiguan. I want to make sure that they don't recharge the AC and we make it through the summer and we will be back to the dealer next year.This time the warranty will have expired.I don't have an extended warranty.I just got a bad vibe from this guy at the dealer.

Tiguan :: 2014 - Front Passenger Door Rattle

I picked up my 2014 Tiguan about a month and a half ago, and I am experiencing a tinny rattle from the front-passenger side door...and sometimes from the rear passenger door (or at least it seems that way). It is intermittent. Sometimes it is very slight, sometimes it is quite noticeable on acceleration in colder weather, and sometimes it is just not there. It is, however, bothersome...especially on a new car with 1400K miles. It is also the kind of problem that, in my experience, is hard for technicians to locate and fix. Where it might be emanating. Is it is a common problem with this line of VW?
