I have a creaking and noise from the engine area under takeoff, no matter how light i start off and in the start of turns and when i straighten out. Im thinking its motor mounts... I just had a control arm and ball joint replaced though...
I know my mounts are shot...
When driving into a driveway at an angle or over rough roads I have a creaking noise above and behind my head. I tried different positions of the sunroof to see if that eliminated it but to no avail.
View 9 RepliesI have a creaking in the rear passenger side wheel area. Checked the anti sway bar that was not the problem I have no clue what it could be.
View 4 RepliesAs stated in the title, I've been experiencing a creaking/groaning noise originating from the dead pedal/foot-rest area when I release the clutch as I'm accelerating from first gear. This happens more so when I'm accelerating from a stop on any sort of incline (irrespective of the grade) and primarily in the afternoon/early evening when the weather's at its warmest for the day.
The noise itself originated about a month ago. Although I describe it as a creaking/groaning it sometimes sounds like a slight metal on metal friction noise.
My car's stock with the exception of Driver Gear springs and a BSH 27mm sway bar in the rear. Wheels are OEM 16s. I've had the DG springs on my car for about 3 months before this noise began and mileage was around 9,900Km.

There is a loud groaning/creaking noise coming from the front suspension area. At low speeds, this noise dominates all other noises and is directly related to hitting the gas or pressing the brakes, which produces a forward or backward force on the front suspension and chassis. I can sometimes hear it briefly just by pushing against the parked car.
My hope is that I can just tighten up some bolts and make this go away, but other posts suggest it may be struts, stabilizer links or other non-obvious sources.
I'm having a hard time diagnosing a creaking noise that is coming from the front driver side area. Since the Camry is pretty quiet, this is the one stand out noise that annoys me while driving. I placed my phone next to the front windshield to get as close as possible to the noise but am having trouble locating the exact spot. Where it's coming from.
The noise tends to appear when outside temperature is spring/summer like. In the winter I really didn't notice it. So that tells me the interior temperature is irrelevant despite warming up the cabin in winter. How this is linked to outside temperature I have no idea.
Ignore the large thump in the middle of the video as that is noise from going over potholes.

Turned the car off and I could hear what sounds like a bubbling or gurgle of some sort coming through the center console vents, no dash board lights or anything leaking, after being off for 15 min it stopped, I will notify my dealer, what this may be ?
View 7 RepliesCar is 2013 4dr Golf R with about 7000 miles, APR stage 1 flash, and Carbonio intake. Noise is worse when cold and becomes much more subtle once car is at normal operating temperatures. The noise only seems to occur when I go on and off the throttle, particularly when in 1st or 2nd gear, and does not seem to happen when I go over bumps making me feel that the suspension is not the issue.
I'm scheduled to have GMP in Charlotte install a HS Tuning RSR clutch next week, but if it is a transmission problem, I'll have the dealer try and fix it under warranty first.

I have this subtle creaking noise while steering to the left at low speeds, i.e. getting in/out of a parking spot. I have H&R Street coils and haven't had this problem until recently. I brought it into a mod-friendly dealer and they said it's the factory sway bar rubbing up against the coil-overs. They recommended going with a compatible H&R front sway bar. Are they positioned differently? Maybe I'm missing something.
View 5 RepliesI'm getting a squeaking/creaking noise from the front when turning and over some bumps. It has ST coilovers already and read a post from the previous owner here and he said the noise started after the install and he was told ot was the upper mounts??? Does this sound correct?? Also i noticed it when parked and just turning the wheel back and forth, popped the hood and had my son turn it and it did sound like it was coming from the upper strut area....
View 12 RepliesI know- another noise diagnosis thread but I'm very confused and worried about these noises coming from the front of my car. It's a creaking noise that's most noticeable when I engaged the brakes. I first assumed it was an engine mount- hopefully it is. I'm replacing my vf dogbone bushings before Tod. But this doesn't sound like rubber creaking, by metal. Like the chassis by the strut mounts. I hope it's nothing regarding the v3's. Maybe it's something with the brakes? I also hear I slightly when going over speed bumps. Again, I doesn't sound like the rubbery rear sway creaking. What could be the cause? I'm replacing the pads and fluid before Tod as well..

View 8 RepliesI've noticed that when i went up a slope or speed hump or my drive way that make a weird creaking noise then when i go back down it makes a noise like as if they settled back into place, what can be causing this?
View 9 RepliesAbout a week or so ago, my seat belt started making this "creaking" noise whenever it's buckled. All you have to do is move slightly in the seat or hit the smallest of bumps in the road and it creaks. I am delaying bringing it to the dealer because I'm sure they'll say they can't hear it. The passenger belt doesn't make the sound, and it is something that has only recently started happening.
View 10 RepliesToday in a parking lot I was going very slowly (like barely moving), turning the car to the right (didn't have the steering wheel pinned but it was just about there), and I heard this faint creaking noise (think rocking chair in an attic) coming from somewhere roughly down near the left front wheel. I can reproduce it by doing the same thing -- going slow and turning hard right. It doesn't do it when I make a sharp left turn. I don't see anything strange in the wheel well that would be rubbing.
Any thoughts? Been going over some rough construction areas lately. Could a pothole have done this?
I did a quick search on the 'creaking' or 'rattle' noise seemingly coming from the B-Pillar and found just a bunch of complaints.
Any fix, whether DYI or dealer? It is driving me crazy and is completely unacceptable for a brand new car, of any make or model. What to do and that is what I will do. No matter the measures at this point.
So my car has been at the dealer this week for the 4th day. I have a whining/whirring noise from the rear of the car at cruising speeds of 70mph that goes away with a little throttle and comes back when coasting or at enough throttle to maintain speed. Car must be warmed up to hear it. I know this has been documented on the forum a few times with some getting "it is normal" responses while other have had the diff replaced. They are still diagnosing this but I am not expecting much. I did have the 30k service about 5k miles ago.
Second issue is a creaking noise from steering when stopped or a parking lot speeds. Mostly heard in quarter turns of the wheel. Sounds like it is coming from the column but not really audible from outside. This one the dealer says is normal. Manager says a new MKVII GYI does the same. I haven't verified this yet.
Last, my RNS-315 intermittently does crazy things with my iPhone 6 while listening to music through Bluetooth: Sometimes it will freeze up but I can change to radio and sometimes it will play music through a phone call. Meaning the phone icon is up as if I were on a call with music playing but I can't hang up! I think they are ordering a new head unit.
OK, when I first got the car in June it needed strut mounts so I got the 034's and new bearings and all was good, recently I noticed just a creaking/knocking type noise, not the same as before. So I checked the bolts on the mounts just in case and they are good. Been reading lately about the subframe and it is leading me to believe that may be it. The noise is more noticeable at slower speeds when just going over slight road imperfections(like small dips) and sometimes I do not hear it at all even over rough roads?
View 6 RepliesHow to diagnose this creaking/clunking noise in my 03 Jetta TDI. It's only coming from the passenger side, and I primarily notice it at low speed on relatively uneven roads. I can replicate the noise by pushing up and down on the front passenger side corner.
For context, this started after I just recently replaced my front and rear suspension, plus some steering parts. I replace all four struts with Koni yellows, front CA bushings (with R32/TT), ball joints, tie rod ends, front strut bushings and bearings, and passenger side CV axle. In response to the noise, I also just did the front sway bar bushings, which definitely needed it, but didn't change the noise. I also removed the CV axle and re-greased the inner CV joint--to no avail.
Also, when I have the hood open and push up and down on the front of the car, I can see the cup where the top strut nut goes into will go up and down separate and apart from the body. The driver's side stays in line with the body when I try to the same on that side. Also, that cup is tight on the passenger side, whereas it will spin fairly freely on the drivers side. So, this has lead me to think that perhaps I didn't torque either or both of the top or inner strut nuts on the passenger side.
Here's a (fairly crappy) video of the noise/strut cup .....
I was wondering if the wind noise problem and the door creaking are both problems resulting from the doors on the 2-door models? I only ask because I'm about to go in for my 3-month courtesy check and wanted to get it checked out.
My doors creak a lot and it really annoys me when I drive at low speeds with the radio off. The wind noise isn't that big but I do notice that there is a lot of wind noise coming from my sunroof rather than my windows/door.
MKVI GTI's are well known for body flex and creaking squeaking noises coming from door seals while going over large bumps, especially at an angle. Has VW resolved this issue on the MKVII?
