Golf - Volkswagen :: Engine Died After Making Strange Noise
After coming down a mountain pass my engine started making a weird sound and then died. I am told that it was because I was in too low a gear for the speed I was going (I was using the triptronic or whatever it is called to stay in a lower gear coming down the pass). I had clean and ample oil and no warning lights came on and there are 98,000 miles on it. Does this cause make sense? I have been reading in other discussions that many cars have crank shaft sensors, do VW cars have this? VW Golf 2005 TDI .....

I own hyundai 2000, 1.5L. About 5 days ago the engine started making strange noise that sounds like sewing machine.
I went to my garage and they said that its the hydraulic valve lifters and that I should replace all of them(12 total).
My question is, what can happened if I wont replace them? can I postpone the replacing for a few months or it can cause damage?
By the way, I heard that the noise from hydraulic valve lifters can start due to bad oil, I had 20W50 so I changed today the oil to 15W40(manufacturer recommendation) and the oil filter and still got the noises.
Camry :: 2005 SE - Strange Noise When Engine Is Cold?
I drive a 2005 Camry SE. In the mornings, when I start it up for the first time, my engine almost...growls. That's the only word I can think of. Not even growl. But instead of purring like a kitten, it purrs like a tiger . And it's only when I first back it out and then take off. Once it's good and warmed up, it drives and sounds perfectly. Shifts beautifully.
And this morning, I let it warm up for awhile and it didn't make any noise when I took off.
I talked to my coworker about it and she said she had a similar issue with her 2004 Saturn Vue and it was something about a manifold, but couldn't remember what it was called. And she said her mechanic was able to fix it, but only temporarily and then told her it would cost her big bucks to fix it permanently.

So for the past few months my car was making a strange noise under my car, it turned out it was the dogbone bolt that stretches to the bottom part of the transmission. Some how it got loose and was literally hitting my transmission. So we tried bolting it back on and won't screw which was kind of scary it had some type of play. Do I have to get a new 02m for a little ass bolt, do I weld it, or is there a subframe piece I can buy to replace the Broken part of the transmission.

Camry :: 2007 Making Noise From Rear When Accelerating From 0 To About 10-15 Mph
This is going to sound odd but here is the case: When accelerating in car from 0 mph to about 10-15 mph there is a noise coming from the rear. It sounds as if it is coming from the axial or something because it does it once every revolution. But the wierd thing is is that it does it louder when it rains or any moisture is in the air!
We had back right bearing replaced. But still makes noise. Don't think it is rock or tire because it only does it sometimes when speeding up. And does it very loud when raining or humid
Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Car Making Strange Beeping Noise, CEL, ABS Lights Come On
Have been driving my Prius with no issue all week. I leave the car home and take my wife's vehicle, while she drives it today without incident. I come home and hear the car making some strange beeping noise (NOT the anti-theft alarm, different). I hop into the car and try to start it, and the check engine and ABS lights come on for a second before other lights in the speedometer area kinda half come on. The gear indicator comes on and has boxes blinking on all of the letters.
The MFD never comes on.
It appears to be the 12V battery dying. The car has 150k miles and I have never replaced the battery, so it seems I was way overdue for this.
Nissan - Maxima :: 2000 - Making Strange Noise - Getting Code P1320
I recently had issues with P1320 code, and after replacing a bad ignition coil by a local auto mechanic, the CEL went away. While changing the one bad ignition coil, he also changed all the spark plugs.
However, after driving for about 1000 miles, I started hearing this noise which is persistent, and I'm hesitant to drive it further without knowing if driving in this condition would cause any further damage.
What could be going wrong here for this noise. I tried to attach the video I captured, but couldn't.
Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 - Shocks Making Strange Noise?
Ok, just asking a question for a buddy. He has 78k on the truck and the shocks make a strange noise. When one of us bounces the truck up and down on the bumper (simulating a load) the shocks "click". Now I looked and it looks like the bushing may be wore out, and the actual bolt that goes through the upper shock mount is touching the top and then the bottom, emitting the "clicking" noise. Is this just a normal wore out shock, or perhaps a defect? Just asking because I am not as familiar with suspension systems.
View 1 RepliesFord 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Truck Is Making Strange Noise Frequently When Lugs Down
One of the many things that impresses me about the 6.7 is how well it lugs...... it'll run right down to near 1,000 rpm in 6th gear and stay there till it absolutely has to shift. Like a diesel should. Well, recently, and now more frequently my truck is making some strange noises when it lugs down. It'll mainly do it if I'm towing light, like my flat trailer empty, or maybe if I have a decent load in the bed. But occasionally it'll do it empty. As soon as it lugs down low to 1,000-1,200 and pulls there for a few seconds you'll hear a couple squeaks, then a kinda chugchugchugchug noise. It immediately quits if you let off or make it shift down. It sounds like a turbo-related noise, but I don't really know. Truck only has 9k miles on it. I just know this is one of those things I'll take it back to the dealer and they'll give me the ol "we can't duplicate the problem here." What it could be?
View 8 RepliesCamry :: ALT Making Bad Whining Noise - Slowing Down Engine
My ALT is making a bad whining noise and when I disconnect it, the noise stops. it also seems to be slowing down the engine if that's possible.
The batt voltage is the same with the car running or stopped. no cell, batt idiot light comes on at startup and goes off like the rest of the warning lights.
This is the 2006 2azfe 4 banger.
I believe its gotta be a diode pack shot. Is it difficult to replace the pack or should I just get a rebuilt one? The Haynes doesn't show how to disassemble the alt and replace anything but I should be able to do it. would I also need to replace the brushes at the same time?
Camry :: Engine Making Noise Seems Like Belt Pulley Bearing Is Going Out
I have a 2009 Camry 5spd with 92K miles on it. Camry is completely stock and original with meticulous services to engine oil and drained the transmission fluid at 68K miles. I am hearing an engine hum every now and then (although I notice it more often now that I am searching for it) while I am idling. I don't believe it to be engine vibration, rather it is a hum, seems like a belt pulley bearing is going out, or even, and i hope its not, like my throw out bearing in the clutch is going bad.
Only reason I say that is because it makes the hum for a few seconds then goes away, then comes back for a bit. It makes the hum when i have the clutch engaged and when i have the clutch disengaged and a in neutral. I have opened the hood to try and search from where it is coming from but it is just too darn hard to figure out.
I am hoping it is nothing related to my transmission. I may pull the fill plug on it this weekend and try to stick my finger inside to see if I am low on fluids and it is making a hum (but I highly doubt it because when I filled it up after drain i filled it too the top). I haven't experienced any burning of oil and use 5W-20 (Castrol GTX since day 1). I may switch fluids on my next change and use maybe a different brand and viscosity (maybe use standard Quaker state at 5W-30).
Again it isn't an engine vibration, rather just a hum or almost like a stinking wobble and then goes away for a few seconds. I say wobble kind of like you would hear a drive shaft on a truck that wasn't balance properly and was spinning without being centred with counter weights.
Camry :: 2008 V6 Making Noise When First Driving And Engine Is Cold
My 2008 Camry V6 has a noise that happens when I first start driving forward right after the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, from inside the car it sounds like it's coming from the engine compartment on the driver side. I've figured out that the noise happens only when the engine is completely cooled down and it happens only once until the engine is cooled down again. It doesn't do it when in reverse, however if I reverse first it will still occur when I start pulling forward and the transmission shifts.
I brought my car into the Toyota dealer and they say that they don't hear anything wrong. They ended up replacing an axle because a boot was torn so I was hoping that it would end up fixing the issue but it made the noise right away when I picked up the car.
I have a video of the noise happening... turn your sound up and you'll hear it right at the 0:14 second mark of the video: [URL] ....
I have literally 89 miles left on my extended warranty so I really need to get this fixed. Back to Toyota...
Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - Engine Started Making A Clicking Noise
The other night I was going up the mountain and while going it started making a clicking noise..probably from no oil..We had been told from the dealership there was a small leak but nothing to worry about at the moment.We tested it and it wasn't leaking visibly but I guess with it getting cold out the hole got bigger and we didn't notice so all the oil leaked out as we were powering the lil car through the mountains..Needless to say on the cruise down it started shaking i saw some sparks and I think the rod went through my engine block and we broke down. It's completely dead. The car has right around 200,000 miles on it and has always been very well taken care of.I just traded my dad the car about 7 months ago for my 4-runner cause of gas prices..I moved across the country and of course have had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS since day one.
View 8 RepliesFord Exhaust System :: 1996 F150 - Exhaust Making Strange Howling Noise
Ok, probably about 1/3 times i start my 96 f150 4.9 with true duals, the left pipe has a higher pitched howling noise, its a steady tone whether I rev the truck up or not it just gets louder. It will do it for about 6 seconds and then stop. The truck doesn't run badly because of it, but i took her to autozone to get her scanned and they said that the oxygen sensor on the first manifold bank has a slow response on startup. Is that what causes this strange noise, I don't even know how it would make it, it sounds much different from the engine. The right pipe doesn't do anything.

View 1 RepliesLexus ES 2007-12 :: Strange Pulsing Noise And Sensation?
This is a lengthy explanation. Car has 135K on it currently. Had the transmission flushed and water pump replaced about 5K miles or so ago. The Lexus trio of lights came on about 2K miles later and I noticed a loss of power. It's like I'm cruising along and the sensation is that of a manual transmission car being in 5th gear at 20 and punching it; that lack of power that borders on the car dying but it never does. It just sputters along a little and then all is fine. No abrupt shifts, just like it's in too high of a gear and I've caught it off guard with my throttle request.
Had the codes checked, multiple misfires detected. Great, so I take it to the mechanic I use and they hooked it up to the computer and basically I need a tuneup, all the plugs and wires and boots need to be replaced. I don't know how many horsepower I was down but it was definitely noticeable and the idle would bounce between 750 and 1K RPM without fail. I couldn't leave it with them all day that day as I had a job a couple hours away and figured it had been fine up to then and it would be ok for four more hours. Wrong. About an hour into my trip, the check engine light, which was on, began blinking, which I was told by the mechanic is a bad sign and that something is seriously wrong. Power is way down, the engine is obviously suffering, it's rough and choppy, probably half power, couldn't go more than 30mph.
And it was accompanied by this pulsing noise in the rear of the car, beneath the rear seat If I had to guess a location. It wasn't a grinding noise, more whiney but not loud and it was in a constant rhythm. I pulled over immediately and tried to make arrangements for transportation. There wasn't a rental car place in the town I pulled over in, but there was a place the next town up. I get in the car and start it up and the trio of lights are still on but the check engine is not blinking and the pulsing is gone as is the car struggling to breathe. It's not great, but it's back to the way it was before and highway speeds are possible, etc. When I got back, I had the tune up and the catalytic converter and engine manifold gaskets replaced. It runs like a dream. My question is; what could make it run so terribly and cause that pulsing sound and vibration, that would somehow disappear by stopping and starting the car?
Camry :: 2002 - Strange Transmission Noise After Startup When Shifted Into Gear
Need to identify this noise? After starting the car after sitting overnight or anytime the engine is cold it makes this sound when shifted into gear. You can hear the sound dissipate and eventually go away but it has me worried.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: At High Temperature Strange Rattle Noise Intermittently
I have a strange rattle that I can't isolate. It only happens when the outside temp exceeds 55 degrees. Once November hits, the noise goes away until April. From the driver's seat it sounds like it is coming from the dashboard. Others in the car have said that it sounds like it is coming from the driver's seat. The noise is intermittent and only happens when the car is moving and is vibration related. I have tried to isolate with a wireless microphone and cannot find where it is coming from.
View 2 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Strange Engine Noise
I bought a 2007 Prius with 198,000 miles on it. Since then I've got it up to 200,000 ish. The previous owners took very good care of it, and did not encountered any severe issues.
I recently took it in to a toyota dealership for the free inspection, and they said it was in remarkably good shape. I asked about the engine noise, and they took it for a drive and said everything sounded pretty normal, at least compared to the prius with 130,000 miles on it that they had apparently just serviced before me. I went ahead and lifted up the hood, set my phone recording at the front of the car, and started it. I let it run for a few seconds, then shut it off.
