Hi everyone, a couple of months ago I changed my front brake pads and rotors on my B5 and now about 2 months later they have started squeaking, I have tried EVERYTHING to get them to stop! Re-greasing where the pads slide on the caliper bracket, chamfering the edges of the pads, and applying CRC...

I have a 2007 2.0 wagon .. for the last several months it has been making a squealing noise when braking (only during the final stopping stages, not when initially applied) and when turning right. It sounds like a belt whining. My first thought was the accessory belt tension, though it's weird...

Hello, what a great forum for passat owners! I have already spent a fair few hours going through everything on here but haven't come to any conclusion yet so thought i would ask... Over 3k rpm the engine makes a very loud high pitch squeal noise, it can only be heard over 3k rpm as far as i can...

Hey Everyone, Quick question, I've got my front tires, brakes (rotor, caliper, etc.) off and car elevated off the ground. Put the car in 4th gear and allowed the axles and such to rotate. Then using my hand I've revved up the car so that the speedo reads a little over 20 mph, when the squeal...

When I turn my AC on and make a turn I get a really loud squeal sound. This usually happens for the first one or two turns and then goes away. I never get a squeal with the AC off. The squealing only happens with a combination of the AC on and while making a turn, once the car straightens out...

So, got everything (mechanical) back together. The closest I could get the timing was with the cam sprocket less than a half a tooth advanced. That should be alright.... right? Either way, it started and ran well for a few minutes last night. Still haven't driven it, but that'll take place...

So Like I said my '06 Passat is now making a wierd squeal when going in reverse or when just starting to go forward, but this only happens when the AC is on. And only lasts for a second I am assuming this is a belt issue. What belt could it be? Also my wife told me the car started "put...

Hi folks, I'm new here.. I have a 98.5 Audi B5 V6.. I've have been combating the strangest squeal sound when the engine is idling. I'm joining here hopefully to see if the collective wisdom here has run across this one. It's definitely related to crankcase vacuum of all things. Engine warm...

hey guys, so i have this belt slipping-like squealing sound coming from my engine bay at idle and high idle. i ran the engine without the serp belt on, still squeals. ran the engine and sprayed the t-belt with silicone spray, squeal wouldnt go away. both belts are fine. i removed the oil...

I know this will be hard to diagnose from a message board, anyway I have 2006 3.6 4motion 76,000 miles, its sounds like metal on metal friction but very low pitch when accelerating from a stand still but the sounds stops above 10mph. Any ideas?

I have an 06 vw passat 1.9tdi 105bhp SE. My climate control only works with when i use fan setting 4 and does nothing from setting 1-3. Also after running the fan on setting 4 for 4-5 mins it starts to make a high pitched whining noise and i have to turn it off. Can someone please help.

Hello all, I have a 2007 B6 wagon with the 2.0 turbo FSI engine. The pcv failed and I have since replaced it but I concerned about engine wear. My wife drove the car for a couple hundred miles with the pcv broken and at idle the engine made a horrible metal to metal squealing noise. It only...

2007 Passat 2.0 Wolfsburg, 25,513 miles (just change the oil and wrote down mileage ;) ). This is my wife's car and she's been having a problem with the brakes squealing fairly loudly when applied. Only seems to happen after it's sat, and goes away after a good hard application. I just...

My 2002 1.8t wagon has this loud creak when the parking brake is applied and I get in and out of the car. With the brake on and I rock the car back and forth from the roof rack it sounds like old rusty teeter totter. It is less of a noise when really pulling hard on the parking break but still...

2004 B5.5 V6 Girlfriend got a little excited behind the wheel while backing out of her driveway in MY car :mad:. She pulled down the driveway, car dies at the bottom. Started it up again, and now I'm hearing a lower pitched squeal coming from under the car, possibly the engine bay. I got the car...

Ya, I know it gets boring but another brake noise thread. I've done all the search thing and got helpful tips but none directly for the vented W8 rears. I did find out about the AZ tool rental for the pistons which is a good thing. I had loosened one caliper to inspect and when I realized I...

Today I drove under heavy rainy and showy condition without skid plate. I drove about 300 miles. When I started my car at night and drove around the neighborhood, I started to hear squeal noise from either radiator or engine. As I hit gas, I started to hear louder squeal noise. Also I do...

So I've got this loud squeal the happens in all gears at all rpm's. Sounds like its coming from the front right side. So i'm assuming its turbo related. There's a great chance it is the DV as I have yet to replace the sh!t stock one. Are there any other possibilities? A/C Tensioner?

Whenever I run the heat on 2 or 3 (or 1 if I'm going 80mph+), I hear a squeaky wheel inside the dash. I'm guessing it's the heater fan? Do you think I can just WD-40 it and fix it? And does anyone know where it's located? I didn't see a write up on anything that would involve removing it.

Hey Guys, I have a 99 1.8T. About 3 months ago I changed all of my pads and rotors with PBR Ultimate pads and Brembo plain-faced rotors. My pads are now squealing VERY VERY loud, and there is also a rattle in the front end. I took the car to the dealer and they said that the rattle was due...
