Golf IV R32 :: Making Noise While Angling Out?


Apr 3, 2016

Trying to isolate a troubling noise from the back. The ONLY place the car makes this sound is angling out of my driveway, which I always do to avoid scraping. This twists the car along its length, because the last bit of the driveway slopes down into the street beyond, and the street goes uphill to the right. So it's down one angle while heading up another. It's a loud heavy snap/clunk, like something unloading tension. I think.

Have a UNIbrace in place, took it out for a while, no change. Next to investigate is RSB doing something. I'm thinking I should just undo the end links so the bar is not in play... then if that sound is still there I know that's not what's causing it.

But... do I want the weight of the car off the wheels to undo the end links (top bolt that doesn't go through the shocks, of course). Or does it not matter? I don't wanna release tension abruptly (speaking of which) by undoing incorrectly and have something go boing and smack me in the face. OR, I guess the proper way to ask is "What's the correct way to take load OFF the RSB so I can undo the end links?"

Phaeton :: Side Mirrors Don't Angling Down While In Reverse

I purchased an '04 Silverado V8 with 50K miles for my wife and then got an '06 White V8 for myself. In the owner's manual there is an oblique reference to the side mirrors angling down while in reverse to aid parking. My wife's car seems to do this whereas mine does not. I assume I need to set up this feature somehow but I can't for the life of me find it in the manual.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Angling Side Mirror When Backing Up?

When i first got my rx350 the auto angling side mirrors always worked, When i put the car in reverse it would automatically go down, so i could see where the curb was. Now after a couple of months it stopped working, every time i went reverse the mirrors won't angle down. What's the problem?

Golf V R32 :: Brakes Making A Ton Of Noise

Today i took my wheels off and installed the anti rattle caliper clips. They were missing and my brakes were making a ton of noise so my tech recommended it. I have them installed properly from the instruction i was given, and all the sudden my brakes hardly work, and the pedal goes to the floor. Im not leaking brake fluid anywhere, and everything is hooked up and fastened properly.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Car Was Making A Strange Noise

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.

Golf/GTI VII :: 2015 - Making Noise At Idle

There is a recurring moan that comes from the engine compartment around 40% of the time while the vehicle is idling. Sometime it's a moaning sound and other times it's more of a grunting noise, almost sounds like the engine is reving, only the RPM guage doesn't move.

Doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold. Car has just over 2,000 miles.

Dealer, naturally, could not reproduce the noise.

Golf VI R :: Clutch Noise Making Vibrations?

Searched through old threads but didn't come across these in particular, a lot to look through so may have missed in Car has 270 miles on it.

1) When clutch is in all the way and the car is revved, I can feel it in my left foot. This can be felt when car is stationary or in motion - Is this common for MK6/R? I don't recall being able to feel this in my MKV GTI

2) When the car is in motion, I hear a knock noise right after the clutch is pressed in. I can only hear the noise if windows are open and stereo is off, and this only occurs while the car is in motion. - Is this a standard clutch noise for healthy clutch/pp/flywheel/throw-out bearing on this platform, or should there be no noises? It sounds like something I'd expect to hear with a messed up throw-out bearing.

Golf VI R :: Cooling Fan Making Noticeably Louder Noise

Searched and posted to the Facebook group. Figured I'd cover all bases by posting here too. The noise my cooling fan makes is now noticeably louder than it was in the past. Mentioned to my shop and they said it has two stages, and that perhaps the first stage is no longer functioning, so only the second stage is running.

Golf V R32 :: 2008 - Making Noise When Steering At Low Speed?

I've had my MY 08 R32 (Australian delivered) for almost 4 months. It's done about 8300kms so far and I've noticed awhile ago that the car makes clunking noise when I'm turning the steering wheel a lot at low speed (eg. car parks). I'll probably book in for a oil change and ask the service centre to look into it.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - AC Making A Rattling Noise?

I have a 2003 1.8t jetta. I got it in the fall and never really needed to turn on my AC until this week. It works, fans work at all speeds, blows ice cold air.

But i noticed today that my fans can be on and nothing. But when I hit the AC button there's a loud rattling sound. Everything works. It's just making noise when the AC is on. Whenever I turn it off the noise goes away.

I tried looking it up and couldn't find anything.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 - Turbo Making Noise On Hot Days?

Couple months ago I picked up a 12 GTI. This is my first car with a turbo so I don't know what to expect. I noticed on days that are in the high 70's and 80's when I'm accelerating I can hear what sounds like air from the turbo.

I took it to my dealer they did a full inspect and said nothing is wrong. Noticed a small creaking noise from the radio/dash??

I have a 2013 golf r and I usually shift gear at 3 rpm when driving normal but for some reason it doesn't feel right, I can hear the clutch making a weird noise whenever changing gear at a low rpm, it feels so much smoother when shifting above 4 rpm but I dont always wanna punch it so hard especially when there's always traffic from where I live. Any advice on a smoother shift at a low rpm.

Golf/GTI VI :: Distracting Noise When Accelerate From A Standpoint Or Making Turn

My GTI is making a very very distracting and annoying noise when i accelerate from a standpoint or when i make a turn, it sounds like if a couple of rocks were rolling in between the roof and the exterior of the car. At first I thought it was something on my trunk/hatch but it is completely empty. The sound is coming from the back but I can't exactly locate where it's coming from.
