Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2004 - Constant Hissing Noise Coming From The Middle Of Engine Compartment
My 04 hyundai accent about 2-3 months ago acquired a hissing noise which seems to be coming from the middle of the engine compartment. The car only has 100,000 miles on it.
It is a constant hiss that only stops when the gas pedal is pushed initially. I have looked all over the car and can not see any fluids leaking at all. It is pretty loud and can be heard easily outside the car when the car is on.
I hooked up my obd2 reader and found these codes:
P0304-Cylinder 4 misfire (I notice it when the car sits at idle for about a minute)
2x P0121- Throttle Position circuit range/performance problem
2x- Evaporative emission incorrect purge flow.
Prius (2004-09) :: Crack Sound Coming When Going Over A Bump
I get a knock noise, actually more of a crack sound, when going over a bump with front nearside wheel. It sounds like it’s coming from behind and on a level with the glove compartment. I have checked suspension and steering components (including strut top nuts) which seems good and emptied junk out of glove compartment but noise persists.

I installed a Eurojet "Street" FMIC on my 2004.5 GLI a few weeks ago and ever since there has been a constant air hissing noise coming into the cabin. The noise has proven to be tricky to diagnose. It is loudest inside of the cabin and isn't audible under the hood. I boost leak tested the system and didn't find any obvious leaks. The sound doesn't appear to be boost related.
I don't seem to be loosing performance. (I've read a 2-3 psi drop is normal after FMIC install) The sound is constant and is faintly detectable even at idle inside the cabin. The sound's volume is dependent on the RPM's the engine is turning. The sound is constant whether the engine is on boost or vacuum. I can't explain this. My car isn't throwing any CEL's at all.
My mods are Revo Stage 2, 4 Bar FPR, 42dd TBE, Hyperboost DV, FMIC.

View 1 RepliesTouareg :: Constant Knocking Noise Behind The Dash With AC On
When I am driving under 40mph with my AC on there is a constant knocking noise behind the dash, actually sounds like someone is back there knocking constantly. Every once in a while it will start squeaking. Its loud enough to be heard even with the radio on. Kind of embarrassing when someone else is in the car. My dealer doesn't know what it is and its driving me nuts!

My wife and I have noticed that at right around 50 MPH we can feel a BUMP BUMP BUm that is very slight. It almost feels like you are driving over expansion joints on a concrete bridge or something just not as severe -- a more subdued BUMP. It doesn't matter if it's in Drive, Tip, or Sports mode it's still there. Mostly in 5th and 6th gears (which is right for the speed we're feeling this at). It feels too slow to be a tire problem so I'm thinking it might be drivetrain related. It doesn't do it everytime you get to 50 but at least once on the way to work you can feel it.
I'm also having a problem with a bad shimmy when we cut the steering wheel hard to make a turn from a complete stop. The whole car shakes until you get the wheel back to the center position it's like glass from then on. I was researching an earlier post and they suggested that uneven wheel pressures might be the cause for the second problen. They mentioned that it had to do with the AWD and differential sensing different wheel speeds from large differences in the air pressure. By the way we have a V8 w/ 19's and no Air Susp.
Touareg :: Squeaky While Hitting Even The Slightest Bump
In the last two weeks I keep getting a squeaki-ish ratter from the back whenever I hit even the slightest bump.
Dealer will look into it next week? I think it has to do with the rear seats.
Touareg :: Delayed Downshift From 2nd To 1st With A Slight Bump
I have 05 V8 and noticed that when I come to a complete stop the transmission is still in 2nd...then after a second or so it shifts to 1st with a slight bump.... I had an 04 V6 Touareg and never had this problem...
View 8 RepliesTouareg :: While Going On A Bump Alarm Goes Off That Rear Hatch Is Open
Ever since the dealer did some work on my TReg that involved removing the back bumper, and some other side panels to fix a whistling noise (this is a known problem with a bead of glue being left in some wind channel during manufacturing), when I go over a bump the alarm goes off that the rear hatch is open.
I have to slam the rear window 4 or 5 times to get the indicator to go back off. Dealer says I have to bring it in to have it looked at and they give me a rental. I want them to be able to order the fricken part, let me know when it is in, and THEN drop it off to get fixed. Just the sensor being loose possibly?
When it goes off, the picture of the vehicle comes on in the MFI which is annoying, because I can't change to anything else. And when I stop I have to make sure it is off or interior lights stay on.
Touareg :: Transmission Surging When Driving On Flat Ground At A Constant Pace
This weekend I was driving home from my parents and noticed that on flat ground at a constant pace there seemed to be surging of some sort...Although I am not sure that surging is exactly what it was, but it is the best word to describe it.
Basically, if I kept my foot at an even speed (not accelerating or decelerating) I would get very subtle movement in what seemed to be either the differential or the transmission. No error codes were thrown and the battery gauge was spiked at 14 solid.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Rattling Noise Coming From Middle Of Car / Resonator
So I really don't drive my car much during the year since I'm away at college. Once I got back home a couple weeks ago and drove my 20th, i heard a rattle coming from the middle of the car. Jacked it up and starting banging around. The sound is coming from my resonator. Its either the clamp that is busted or the resonator itself. I have to get in closer to see which it is. But I do have a few questions. If I just cut the resonator cut off and weld a straight pipe to that will it be much louder. I have a stock 20th and I'm not really looking for a loud exhaust at the moment. Is it much louder without the resonator? I know if you put a straight pipe in place of the muffler it is MUCH louder so I'm just curious.
View 1 RepliesSanta FE SM (2001-06) :: Clicking Coming From The Middle Coil Pack
I have a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5. I just changed the spark plugs and wires and now I hear a clicking coming from the middle coil pack. At first I could see it arcing on the bottom to the metal part that holds the plug wire. I removed it and added some dielectric grease and the arcing seemed to stop, but the clicking noise is still happening. Does this indicate a bad ignition coil or do I just need to add more dielectric grease? The idle is still a little rougher than I would like, but I don't want to just throw parts at it.
View 21 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Shaking Or Vibrating Coming From The Middle Or Rear Of Car
Car has a weird shaking or vibrating coming from the middle or the rear of the car, I can't really describe it. You can only notice it at low speeds, and it's only noticeable after you drive for a while, it doesn't happen immediately. It happens whether you press on the brake or not, just while driving. I'm not sure how I should handle the situation either. I changed my rotors and brake pads because I thought that might have been the problem, but it turned out it wasn't.
I took it to the dealer, they said it was the end links that were loose so they changed that. It didn't fix the problem. I took the car back, and they checked it out, they couldn't locate the problem. They put it on the lift, said it wasn't the sway bar, suspension, etc.
They said because I didn't change the "brake pad clips"(I'm not sure what to call them), and they appear to be the original ones that came with the car, I'm not really sure if they are or not, but I know the brake pads were changed once, but maybe that wasn't changed, I need to change them first, and since they looked for a problem and don't want to waste more of their time (basically what they told me, they will start charging me to find the problem now), they will charge me $159 labor + $20 for the part + tax to change it. Now it may or may not fix the problem, that may not be the problem at all, and if it doesn't fix it then I'm out almost $200 for no reason. They said they don't want to waste time, and it's ridiculous to look for a problem with my car. But the problem is it's a vibration or a shaking, and I would think that SHOULD be covered by the warranty.
Should I try taking this to a different dealer, and pretty much never go back there again? Get the part changed myself at a different mechanic shop, as I don't see a reason to spend $179 + tax at Hyundai.

View 6 RepliesTouareg :: 2006 - Radio Volume Goes Up Substantially When Turning Over Bump
I have a 2006 with the DVD Nav radio. Sometimes when I am turning and going over a bump (curb, speed bump), the volume jumps up dramatically. Even when the radio is on mute, it will come out of mute and start playing substantially louder than the volume was set prior to mute. At first, I assumed I must be hitting the VOL+ button on the steering wheel but then I realized that it often happened when my hand was on the completely another side of the wheel (with the 2006 power steering change, it's pretty easy to turn one-handed). I am downright positive this isn't user-error.

So I have a 2015 SE DSG. I'm getting the irritating popping noise, at no particular speed, coming from what sounds to be the middle/rear. It is lowered on H&R coilover, which I have checked over and over again to make sure everything is tight. It started about 500 miles ago, and the Coilovers have been on for about 6000 miles, the car just hit 7000 miles.
View 1 RepliesDodge - Ram :: 1997 - Major Coolant Leak Coming Right From The Middle Of Front Of Engine
I've got a 1997 Dogde Ram 1500 Pickup. It's got a major coolant leak that seems to be coming right from the middle of the front of the engine. I can't see where it's coming from. I changed the thermostat and the water pump, but it seems to be even behind that. There is a rubber hose that comes off the water pump and disappears between the two banks. I can only see a tiny end of it, where it goes. It looks like getting to that would involve taking off the whole intake manifold. If that's the case, I might as well total the truck. I dunno...

2002 ford explorer v8 4x4, ok I had some noise coming front the right maybe middle axle area so I pulled the driver's side tire and inspected all the bushings ball joints and hubs. The hub had a little play and so did the upper ball joint. So I replaced the hub thinking this could be the problem and the steering stabilizer bar (all the bushing on the bar where toast). Ever thing was tight but the upper ball joint still had a little play but not enough for me to spend the $ to replace the whole control are (as I am told you cannot replace just the ball joints you have to replace the whole control arm). Any way got it all back together and still same nose. What it could be? Also the four wheel low will not engage could this be part of the problem or one more thing un related ( the four high engages just not the low)...
