sound

I have had an intermittant creaking sound from the front of my 03 TDI for some time now. It only occurs when some sort of forward/backward jerky motion is made - such as pulling off, or changing from 1st to 2nd gear, or easing off the accelerator quickly. Can also be heard if mess around pushing...

Hi all, this sounds like a worn bush to me but i'll pick your brains anyway. When driving over uneven road, I get this knocking sound from the N/S/F suspension as the car rumbles over it. The sound is as rapid as the car goes over the knobbles in the road. I am ruling out the shock absorber...

Went to put my window down the otherday and all was well. However, i went to put it back up and it made a grinding noise and really struggled to go back up. Now it goes down ok, but still makes the same horrid grinding noise on the way up and goes up at an angle, so to get the window shut you...

ive had a read threw a few threads but am still not sure... so here goes. i have got a headunit, pair of front comps, 2 12" subs and 2 amps to run subs and comps. how do i go about wiring it all in as the trip computer does not have the capability? i would like to use my eadunit if...

My 1.2 started making a grinding sound from the rear and the car vibrates when i slow down. What could be causing this? Thanks

Hi, i have noticed a problem in my new ibiza 09 Sc 1.6 petrol manual. after a cold start/ after engine was turned off for a long time, when i put in the first gear and drive a few meters (till engine hit 2/2.5 RPM, 18-20 kph) i hear a short mechanical sound, it appears to come from the...

i have the cupra 180t, i have a standard panel filter, just wondering if i get a piper cross or k&n will it change anything, my dumpvalve i have on is very quite, no whoosh, its a bailey one.

i have changed my turbo for a hybrid an when i let off the accelerator i get a different sound from my forge 007 would this be due to more boost an a stronger actuator or could this be causing damage? thankyou

Evening, Just started in the last few days, on breaking and turning the wheel anti clockwise there is a croaking sound from the drivers side... sounds like it is directly below the pedals. Any one know I am trading in the car in 1 week (new car on order) and dont really want to splash out...

Ive got a whinning sound on the belt side of my lcr...Im more than certain its either the Tensioner or Alternator do these normally make a sound when the bearings inside of them are going?

Is the sound deadening under the bonnet the same on all mk2 Leons? Just had mine replaced as the original one was wet, mouldy and sagging onto the engine. The new one looks thinner and neater, but the old one did look a mess and had probably swelled. Anyone got any pics of theirs or others???

Since Friday, every now and again when I put my foot all the way down in 4th or 5th I notice a slight misfire, the boost holds. Its fine under normal driving, but when my foot goes all the way down I get the above. I haven't got any EM light, may get it on vag-com later and see if the ECU...

Ok, cupra PD160. 55k on the clock. I am finding i have a lot of smoke on full accleration. I have had a tweeked 130 in the past and know whats normal and i don;t think what i have is normal at all. Also it can be very very laggy in 2nd gear say when you come on to a roundabout. And i...

Hi, I have a Seat Leon MK II 1.4 TSI and sometimes when i open the driver's door the car issues a single beep and i was wondering if any of you have any idea why it would do that. I have the Coming Home feature and I always leave my lights on as the car will turn them off after 30 seconds...

I've got a Mk2 Cupra (2008) I've just put in a top of the range touch screen Alpine Head unit (ixa w404r) with a small "Vibe" sub ensclosure in the boot to handle the bass. I have left the stock speakers as they are and have not added an amp. I am very happy with the sub and the head...

Hi! i just got my new ibiza today, i noticed that the engine wile running idly makes a bit of a knocking sound a bit like a diesel and when i press the clutch some of the knocking disappears, is it normal? (its not really knocking but a sound similar) and the gears while standing still when i...

It wasn't until someone said it, and it has me slightly worried. But when I turn the engine over it produced a juttery sound just before it starts running idle. A friend says it has a similar sound to "idle cams" :blink: has anyone else noticed this, or now I have said it does it bring...

Afternoon! Got a wierd noise that comes when i start the engine, attached a little sound file, any ideas what it could be? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GepHx9R0rUU

After getting my cambelt/water pump changed a few months ago ive had constant boost leaks/hissing noises from the drivers side ive been back to where i got it done several times and they have retightend the near side intercooler pipe and then the car feels fine for a few days but when i put...

Right... apart from my bloody Miltek rattling ive developed another noise... Im getting a whuring sound from the front end... you knwo the sound when the wheel bearings go? Ive checked the wheels for wobble... nothing! Anyone else had this problem?
