mattallen 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi Alli have had my Golf VR6 a week now and i have a few niggly bits i want to try and clear up. First of all when you rev the car there is a whining sound that sonds like its coming from behind the dash, its not loud at all, but when you change gear and the revs drop you can hear it any help what it could be?Second , when i first fire the car up, it makes a hissing /banging noise. it only lasts a second or two before it goes away? when i bought the car the guy told me that it has a tapping noise on start up , but this sounds like more than a tap to me. apparently he has had it looked at and it suppose to do it , but in some models of the vr6 it lasts longer. is this true or has the car got a fault that i can put right?any help would do as im begining to enjoy the car but worried i make things worse Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 have you had a look / listen with the bonnet up to see if you can identify where either noise is coming from?The whinning could be something to do with the sepentine belt the drivers end of the block, either due to a bad idler or water pump. Unless you happen to have a super charger ;-)I once had a very noisy tappet which luckily went away the very next time I started it. When was the oil last changed? Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I had a slight hissing noise from my last VR .............. Turned out to be a small hole in the breather pipe at the back of the inlet manifold As for the banging that could be a number of things fella.... Link to post Share on other sites
mattallen 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for the info guys, I better take it to a garage in Shrewsbury and let them have a look. its not the whinning noise from behind the rev counter thats the problem, its the banging / clunking noise thats worrying me when you fire the car up from cold. all in all after a week of owning the car i love it, ive owned wrxs and type Rs but this car is something else. next time i post i hope to be sticking a turbo on it so any advice on which one to get would be good Link to post Share on other sites
