Tiguan :: DRLs Turn Off When Applying Electronic Parking Brake?
I just noticed yesterday when I used the electronic Parking Brake. When I engaged the Electronic Parking brake, the DRL Indicator (light) on the dash went off. I did not go outside of the vehicle to see if they actually turned off (the vehicle was still running). Is that normal?

Brand new 2011 tiguan SEL with the Kessy keyless entry and ignition system. Today it wouldn't start. Had it over at my brothers house, vsited for a bit and then were heading out to dinner. The steering wheel light on the tach face was flashing red and beeping at me. Foot on the brake, finger on the engine start/stop button and nothing - the red steering wheel icon just flashes and beeps. The frustrating part was since the car is brand new, I had the owners manual on the dining room table at my house, an hour away It was just a few minutes after 6, so I was unable to get anyone in the service dept at the dealer I bought it from. Luckily, the salesperson returned my call (go Francisco!) and grabbed a manual from another Tiguan to tell me what the flashing light means. Basically, it means the car won't start. Very frustrating, the car has 268 miles on it and is only 6 days old. Having it towed back to the dealer for diagnoses and repair. CSB?

I just bought my R32 this past weekend and it's been a really great car to drive. I'm just wondering if the whizzing sound (sounds like a little fan or whir) coming from the engine compartment on the passenger side is normal. It gets louder as I add throttle.
View 1 RepliesTiguan :: Buzzing Noise Coming From The Engine Area
I recently noticed some kind of a faint buzzing noise coming from the engine area. basically when the radio is off I can hear some kind of a buzzing noise under medium load, it sound like a loose heat shield or something. I took it to a dealer this morning, did a test drive with the tech who also heard the noise, got a call later on telling me that the noise is normal and is present on the other Tiguans as well.
View 4 RepliesTiguan :: Metal Rattle Noise From Engine / Transmission
Engine/transmission metal rattle noise. I have a SEL w/auto and I hear a metal rattle noise under light acceleration when it shifts from 6th to 5th, 5th to 4th and usually between 1500 to 2000 RPM. I took it into vw to check and a couple guys drove it and said everything is in normal operating condition. It only has 1700 miles and it has made the noise since I picked it up. I had a GTI before this so I am familiar with the engine but I had a manual.
View 1 RepliesTiguan :: 2011 - Engine Making Noise / Exhaust Is Silent
I bought a new ABT Quad Tip Exhaust and replace the stock, it looks nice, but it has a ear drum killer drone between 2000 - 3000 rpm at all gears, and it peaks at around 2500 rpm.
Under 2000 rpm and above 3000 rpm, the exhaust is silent and i can actually hear the engine noise.
Tiguan :: Clack Noise From Under Hood 30 Seconds After Shutting Down Engine
30-40 seconds after shutting down the engine, i can hear a single "clack/click" noise coming from under the hood, near the right wheel. Is it normal? What's moving, some sort of electrovalve/actuator?
I hear it being out of the car, inside it's not so easy to listen. It's well after I turn off the key and it does it only once. It's not really near the wheel, with the hood open i located the CLACK behind the engine (on the side near the windscreen), could it be something related with fap / etc.?
Tiguan :: Engine Noise Between 2000 And 2500 RPMs When Accelerate

View 24 RepliesTiguan :: 2009 - Stalling Out After Startup / Hum Lasts For 5 - 10 Minutes After Shut Off
I'm the owner of a 2009 4-motion SEL with 85,000 kms....recently it has been stalling out after startup. Sometimes this occurs after driving away, but most frequently before. It usually works fine after a couple of starting attempts. I've read through some posts regarding the high pressure fuel pump as a possibility. I've also noticed a pump or fan type hum that lasts for 5-10 min. emanating from the rear of the vehicle after shutting it down. Not sure if this is normal or could be related?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B7) :: 2014 - Fan Noise After Engine Shut Off
I recently purchased a 2014 VW Passat SEL Premium. About 500 miles on it. Last weekend I took a 200+ mile trip (100+ miles each way) and had no issues. Today I drove the car for about 10 miles and when I got home, I turned the car off and noticed a fairly loud noise coming from the engine. It sounded like a fan but I wasn't sure. It almost sounded like the engine was still running. I turned the car back on (to make sure it wasn't the engine) and it started right up. I turned it off again and the fan noise was still present. It stopped on its own after about 5 minutes but this was a little disconcerting, especially since this is my first car with a diesel engine. I'm not sure if this is typical. The VW dealer says this is perfectly normal, more so on short rides as opposed to long rides. The fan runs to cool down the engine after shut off. Does this sound legit?
View 5 RepliesTiguan :: 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.
View 5 RepliesTiguan :: Buzzing / Howling Noise Occurs At The Engine Mid Range RPMs
I have this noise, and it has become very annoying as it occurs at the engine midrange rpms.
It is buzzing/howling noise that comes on above 2500-3000rpm, whether it is in gear/underload or in neutral/park. It is noticed most while in sport as it holds lower gears longer.
Electric aux water pump was replaced not so long ago. Have read about the wastegate rattle issue, but im not sure.
Took it to the dealer about two weeks ago for this and the tech said he could not even hear it on the test drive.
Here are some links of the said noise

Prius (Gen 2) :: Noise Coming From Engine Compartment After Shut Off
I started noticing some strange sounds coming from the engine compartment after shutting off the car ( a 2007 with 90K miles). It's different from the hum for several seconds that I often hear after switching off the car. This one is a squeaky rough sound like a small motor wearing out. I think it's from the driver side of the engine compartment. Is that where the inverter pump is? This car didn't have any record of needing the inverter pump changed for the recall as far as I could tell.
View 3 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Electronic Buzzing Noise While Driving At Various Times
Situation: In recent months I have noticed a new noise in my R. The noise only appeared while driving at various times which lead me to believe it was from local cell towers that I passed during my commute, or when exceeding approximately 55 mph. The noise has since increased in frequency and happens at various speeds. I cannot determine what triggers it or what component it is from.
A local friend of mine just purchased an R32 and he is now noticing the same noise in his car. It is in both of our cars and happens when exceding 40mph. We do not know if it is a model specific issue or caused by a local environmental source (radio, cellular, military).
Description: Electrical buzzing noise. Resembles the sound of when you used to have a cellphone close to a stereo/pc speaker. The noise comes from the dash cluster area. It can be from a spontaneous periodic chirp to a constant pulsing buzz. Very faint, but very annoying.
The sound makes me assume there is electrical interference with the dash warning chime or something to that effect. I even considered the PMS getting/causing radio interference. My friends R32 has a normal TPMS, but my TPMS has been disabled.
Additional info:
Both cars are stock except for the addition of Hockeypucks.
Car 1: MFD2 w/ active Satellite Radio, TPMS Disabled, AT&T Cell Service, Samsung GS2
Car 2: Premium 7 w/ active Satellite Radio, TPMS Enabled, Sprint Cell Service, iPhone
Eliminated variables:
Seat Heaters
Mirror Heaters
Wipers
Example of the noise: 0:06 - 0:13
Some testing has lead me to acknowledge it is a vibration issue derived from road surface. It appears to be in the area of the vin plate, but that has yet to be determined as fact.
Golf V R32 :: Interior Clicking Noise - Electronic Not Mechanical
I began noticing a clicking noise inside this week as I've been driving with the windows up this past week. (Had to run AC because of the humidity) It happens when first moving and accelerating from either a stand still or rolling at a very low speed. It sounds like a relay is clicking on near the center console or rear seat. It then clicks again when slowing down to a slow roll or complete stop. I've only really began noticing this week, but I think the noise started after the recall. Could it be a relay that I just haven't noticed before? Now that I notice it, I always hear it clicking, even when I've got music on.

I am new to VW. I just purchased 2 new cars on Monday of this week. A 2012 Jetta SE for my wife and a 2012 Passat SE for me. We are loving both of these cars. I have a question though. If my car has been locked for a little while, I unlock the car, open the door, I hear a noise inside the car as if an electronic motor is running. It only last for a second or 2 and I can't pinpoint the noise. It almost sounds like the power seat is moving but I don't think that is it. Hear that noise when are entering your car?
