noisy

I recently got my Leon FR 1.8T remapped and now a few days later the car has developed a loud blowing which smells like exhaust. It started out just an occasional noise, now it has progressed to constant when the engine is cold, a little noisy when warm with no throttle and loud with any sort...

I don't think this is normal but on ignition the car idles at around 1000rpm and then settles between 700-900 after a few minutes. The vibrations at 1000 can be felt through the drivers seat which to me is abnormal. Does this indicate anything specific to anyone?

I have got an anyoing tapping noise coming from my engine bay. you can hear it low down in the rev range when inside the car and it dosn't go away when the car has warmed up. i have had a full service a1k miles ago. my mate says its the lifters and not to worry about it but i just would like a...

Hello there, Very new at this whole forum thing but I need some advice. We currently have an 2008 Altea ref Sport tdi in Black. About 3 months ago my darling brother decided it needed a face lift and drove it up a banking and into a hedge. Luckily he and his passengers were ok and the car...

Hi. I have a really really noisy exhaust on startup, and I think it's the secondary air pump. The only problem is, I don't think my car actually has one (Toledo 20V SE 2001). Does anyone know where the pump is on a toledo? I've had a good look round in the engine bay and can't see it...

This is a problem I have had with the toledo ever since I have had it. When I start her up from cold, the exhaust system is really loud for a couple of minutes until the choke comes off and the revs return to normal, then the noise disappears. It sounds almost as if a baffle is loose in the...

I think I've searched/read all the threads here about the notchy gearchange which seems to be common on the Leon, especially into 2nd, but not seen any mention of what I'm experiencing. I have this notchiness but also a sort of plastic rattly noise at the same time, almost as though there's...

hi peps. Just a qwick question that im sure someone might know the answer to. I have a mk1 leon cupra on a y plate. every time the engine is started i get a constent hissing noise,but that changes to a high pitch sweak when the brake pedal is used. Once the sweak has stopped after 5 secs or so...

Has anyone had a problem with noisy front suspension. My near side front seems to thump a lot whilst going down our poorly surfaced roads as if a suspension bush has had it. Whipped the wheel off and had a got look about and tried to feel any play but as would expect on a 21000 mile 30 month...

Hi folks, After a bit of advice please! Over the last few weeks my fuel pump has become very audiable whilst the car is idling (8v GTI). It sounds the same as ever when initally priming, but once the engine is running there is a constant high pitched whine from it. I know some pumps...

i know that tyres have been covered millions of times before when it comes to wear and handling, but which tyres are the best when it comes to noise? im asking this because i need 4 new tyres to replace the original brigstones which i have found to be very noisy on my ibiza tdi. i live...

Over the past few days my Cupra has started emitting a creaking/groaning noise (presumably from the steering rack) when applying left hand lock. It's most noticeable when low speed manoeuvring, i.e. parking. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Folks Recently bought Ibiza 1.2 on an 05 plate and what I wanted to know is do all 1.2s have noisy engines, I've read other reports saying the 3 cylinder engines are quite vocal and it dawned on me last night what mine sounds like and it is a Citroen 2CV but not as loud. Is this normal...

Hey, any one got a rattle in their dashboard-its driving me crazy! what can i do about it, i think its coming from the air vent. nice 1.:)

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this, i did try searching it and couldn't find anything. I recently got a Toledo 20vt and i've noticed that the steering seems to make quite a loud whining noise when turning at low speed, you can also kinda feel it through the floor. Taken...

I have a 2003 LC with a star performance remap and forge DV. I recently noticed that when the car is started cold there is a noise similar to an exhaust leak from the engine. it last about a minute then goes silent. you cannot hear it from inside the car. is this usual or is there a problem

Lately my car has got very boomy , road noise like .I suspect it might be a new set of tyres on the front (6000 miles ago). I actually thought I had a flat wheel the other day it was that bad .But pressures are OK, and the wear seems even on both. The tyres were always noisier than my previous...
