I'm hearing a weird mix of hissing and ticking sounds.
I captured ONE loop of the sound on video, the sound loops and loops and loops at idle.
My car has just under 40k miles on it. I was wondering if this sound is normal at idle? Or if I should get it checked out.
Just seeing if I can get some insight as to whether this is normal or not since my MKV R didn't have anything like this.
1. At Idle Ill have a ticking sound that speeds up and slows down on its own. It seems to be coming form the pulleys side of the engine and it doesn't matter whether the car is warmed up or cold. My engine temps have been pretty steady even with 100+ degree weather and traffic and visually cant see any issues i.e., leaks, cracked lines etc.
2. In first gear Ill get a rotating squealing sound when i let off the gas. The RPM's don't really matter and its definitely is more noticeable before the engine is warming up but it'll still do it at fully warmed up every once in a while. Oh yeah and it ONLY makes this sound in 1st.
As far as I know the pulleys and the majority of the car is stock.
I own a 2001 Jetta 1.8t with Gti front end. So I was driving downtown the other day and I bottomed out really hard and cracked my oil pan. I didn't realize it was cracked and leaking so I drove it home, drove fine with no issues at all. When I got home I parked it and went inside and in the morning I came out and tuned it on for maybe ten seconds. It made a really loud ticking sound that was constant and oil pressure was almost all the way down. So I shut it off and looked and saw the oil pan. I fixed the oil pan yesterday and started it up and it sounded really good and drives fine. But I've been hearing a pretty decently loud ticking sound when everything's up to temp and warmed up. The ticking is only at an idle and it drives like it use to just sounds bad at an idle. Some people think it's my oil pump and tensioner, some people thing I ruined the turbo and possibly internals.
View 4 RepliesMy car has been making a hissing sound when I turn it off for the past few weeks, I checked the hoses around the intake manifold and they all look to be attached fine.
I took a video and discovered a flex in the rear of my manifold..is this normal? What would be the common issue?
Look at the rear of the barcode label

2004 Jetta GLI - I am getting a hissing sound when accelerating. Could it be the Turbo?
View 2 RepliesThere's this 1.8t gti I'm buying this week from a family member and we've been trying to solve an issue that we ran into. When accelerating the car there is a hissing noise, safe to say that it is air. Then when accelerating a little harder and you feel the turbo pulling you everything seems fine. But a second or so after , the turbo dies off and so does the hissing noise. Then I can let go of the gas and repeat the process and it happens again.
My issue is that I cant figure it out since I Need to be driving to hear the hissing and the turbo cut off. I looked around the threads but nothing really seems to match my issue. No codes either. On top of that I've never owned a 1.8t and don't know much about its turbo.
Ever since I bought my 2000 mk4 golf I've had this super loud hissing noise coming from the bottom of the car. Almost like someone is spraying compressed air when your foot is on the throttle. Sound gets louder the more you depress the pedal. Had a catalytic converter code so after a few months I bought a new cat, welded it on, and the sound fairly went away. Still present, now months later the sound is now a bit louder but It's gotten on my last nerve, I want to fix it but I can't seem to figure out what that noise is.
Almost sounds like my car is a classic beetle by the way it accelerate at times. The car is sort of sluggish than normal at times, no codes, no lights, sometimes peeling out in 1st gear the car hesitates like I have regular power, then I have this sudden burst of 1 second power then back to normal until I shift then I never feel it again until I'm back in 1st and WOT it. Car does smell like gas a little sometimes, not too prevalent but nonetheless noticeable especially going in reverse. My gas meter seemed to fluctuate at times, I may have a bad pump maybe, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Had the car for over a week now, noticing a clicking or ticking sound at idle- i.e. no radio and at a stop light. Slightly annoying, but the car has been great otherwise.
2015 new gs350 f sport.
It is not when i am making turns, just sitting idle with the wheels straight.
I installed a usp test pipe a while back and I noticed a hissing sound coming out from my cluster right after the install. I have seemed to ignore the sound but now its getting to me.
View 10 RepliesMy 2011 2.0t has developed an odd ticking sound from the engine bay that is audible when idling. I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the sound because once I drop the vehicle in Neutral it goes away although sometimes I do hear random ticks when I do this. The ticking sound is intermittent and sometimes I hear nothing.
In the video at 11 seconds the ticking starts. At 18 seconds it ends as I drop the car in neutral. What this sound could be? I'm going to try to hit the handbrake and check myself or have someone in the drivers seat while I go check but have yet to truly pinpoint the source of the noise.

I bought a 2005 Hyundai Accent about 5-6 months ago, GS 2 Dr model, 52,000kms (69,000 on her now), and lately she has been making a weird ticking sound form the engine when idle, if you give her some gas it slowly goes away as your RPMS increase. I had my father look at it, he said it seems fine, i also had a garage look at it and they also said its fine, but too me the engine sounds different then it did when i got it, maybe the cold from the winter could be doing this? when the engine is heated up it still makes the noise.

I just got the truck and was fine went to instant oil change and changed the oil used 5w30 and there filter unknown brand? now I'm getting a ticking kinda like a lifter tick?? you can hear it at idle not when moving.. Would the thicker oil be causing this? or the cheap filter is so filter should I go to? Motorcraft? bk to factory oil?
View 1 RepliesMy son's 2010 Toyota Corolla S made a "rattling ticking sound at idle" twice this week.
I can't duplicate it, the oil level is fine and everything is working.
I finally jumped from MKII land into a new GTI . Is it normal for it to sound like a diesel when at Idle? Its only really noticeable when you lift the hood. Im used to my MKII with sticky lifters but the sound of the TSI seems a bit loud.... I haven't been able to compare it to another car.
View 8 RepliesIn the cold weather I found I had what sounded like ticking noise at idle on the R. It doesn't do it when first started and I didn't remember it in the warmer weather either. My research indicated it could be the DI injectors or the N80 valve. But what got me concerned was that I could hear the ticking inside the cabin, somewhere in the front passenger footwell area. And at times over normal radio volume. This was not the case in any of those other threads on the issue as they noted the sound only outside the car.
So I took the car into the dealer this morning to see what they would say. Had a good tech check out the car and try a few things. Turns out the tech found it was the fuel line underneath the car rattling. He said this was a common issue in the MK V cars and there is a service bulletin out on it, but he had never seen it on a MK VI car.
Erratic ticking noise (usually once per one or two seconds).
Does your Golf/GTI have it too?
Below is a detailed description. Friday, March 25. I went into the car to preset some radio stations. I did not start the engine at all. The key was at position One for a moment and then left at position Zero. There was ticking sound (about once per second) from the right side of the car. Sitting on the front passenger seat, I felt that the ticks were from right or right rear.
The ticking continued until I left the car after several minutes.
Sunday, March 27. After cold start, there was no ticking sound during the 20 minutes drive. After that, I left the car parked for about 20 minutes. Thereafter, I started the car again. I heard ticking sound (sometimes once per second, sometimes continuous t-t-t-t-t sound, sometimes even on very smooth road) from the right or the right rear for about 50 minutes. After that, there was no ticking while I drove.
Monday, March 29. After cold start at 9AM: a lot of ticking from the right, and also cracking sound from the right front. They continued for a few minutes. After cold start at 9 PM: no ticking or cracking.
I have bought a r32 that had block replaced bought it with a ticking sound when warm. the chains were replaced i have done the timing myself the hydraulic tappets were replaced too the sound is only in it when warm you have to drive it as when its ticking over it wont be warm enough.
View 4 RepliesThere's a ticking that sounds like its coming from behind the radio or behind the glove box.
View 10 RepliesI hate trolling for a diagnosis, but my trip to the dealer left me frustrated. 2011 GTI with 33k miles and APR stage 1 flash. Just within the last 2 weeks my car has developed a faint ticking sound during light acceleration. The sound stops when I left off the gas and is not present at idle. If I accelerate normally the exhaust note and turbo drown out the noise. How faint the noise is, if the roads are wet the road noise will drown the clicking/ticking noise out above 20mph. The dealer stated they could not duplicate ( raining today) and that it is due to improper install of the waste gate actuator rod clip.
The sound associated with the actuator was only present when accelerating moderately to heavy and sounded like rocks in a can. Not sure if an improper install of the clip could occur as it is pretty straight forward. I did the install over a year ago and never heard what I am hearing now.
My friend bought a 2014 Wolfsburg GTI 3 weeks ago.
One week after purchase he noticed a ticking sound from the engine, and went to Stevens Creek VW and asked them if the sound was "normal". The technicians said the noise didn't sound normal, and they'd check it out.
1.5 weeks later, technicians at Stevens Creek VW said it was a faulty lifter. After a full top end tear down and replacing the "faulty lifter", the sound continued, and the technicians opened another ticket with VWoA. After a VWoA technician came down to look at the car, they deemed the sound was "within spec" and said the car was ready to pick up.
I've included a few videos of the sound, as well as a comparison between my car and his. I own the CSG GTI, and he owns the CW GTI.

Apparently the PO could hear a faint ticking initially while the car was warming up then go away after a minute, but then it went away. Out of nowhere I heard a very prominent ticking from the belt/supercharger area that doesn't go away once the car is warm. My first thought is a bit of the belt might have started peeling off and is hitting something due to the frequency of the tick, but the belt looks ok from the top of the engine bay. Tomorrow I'm going to start taking bits off to gain access to the water pump/pulley to make sure the water pump pulley hasn't started falling apart.
Ticking from belt/supercharger area. I'm pulling stuff off tomorrow to take a closer look, What would cause this?
