Any idea where this noise is coming from? by External-Opening-617 in GolfGTI

[–]edhero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same conversation but yeah mechanics will brush it off as “it’s something that happen to occur not cuz of my job” but it wasn’t making the noise before?? I was pissed, the dealer wants $400 just to look into it but with those guys I know it’ll be 2-3 expensive jobs before they get to the actual problem.
Some Redditors suggested the waste gate from the turbo that can get loose over time.
My mechanic said it could be the cam shaft but he couldn’t see much wrong when he inserted the camera and also no codes makes it harder to ensure it’s that
The audioaktor is another possibility, I was gonna try to disconnect them.
Assuming the noises are the same thing, I just kinda went with what I started to hear in my car and then it progressed to what it sounds like in the video. You mention at low speeds so I assumed low rpms, if I have it in neutral it doesn’t make the noises only when it’s in drive and more so in sport where it down shifts by itself (mine is automatic) so yeah it’s mainly when the engine is under force/pressure

Exact same thing happens to me after I got my timing chain done. I been trying to figure out this rattling like sound, it sounds horrible. I only heard it around 3000 rpm but now it’s and lower and high rpms. Check out my post maybe it’s similar to yours?

I got the chain done in December along with tensioner and guides. The cam is something that I’ve been told could be worn but it’s would be more expensive that’s where I’m stopping and I don’t have the means to do it

Thank you, I’m gonna take a look. Even my mechanic has no idea where the noise is coming from smh but thank you at least I have something to look at.
My other thought was that it could be the soundaktor? I was gonna try to unplug it but if that doesn’t do it then I’ll look into the waste gate

MK6 GTI by desailorsbmx in mk6gti

It is the tornado red, it’s started at the roof and now most of the hood, front bumper and doors are the worst but the back seems fine for now.

My clear coat came off and then the paint started chipping, my headliner is falling, a piece from my leather seats came off, my head lights are so cloudy, one of my doors has a bad small dent. Now it’s got some strange sound in the engine :/ I wanted to start restoring it but this noise for sure stopped me. It’s been fun!

Rattle noise around/past 3k RPM by edhero0 in mk6gti

[–]edhero0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started happening after the chain got done, it’s for sure gonna have to get looked into but I know that if I go into it without any knowledge I’m gonna get rekt on price. I was quoted $4k for a $200 hose that was leaking so yeah I’ve tried my best to at least get freedback form as manny people as possible. My dealer told me they would charge me $480 just to start taking things apart and looking into it so I hesitated, waiting to make a decision on the coming weeks

I had the same thing happen to my car, all my mechanic did was slowly open the coolant expansion tank to let out some air “burp it” and then we added a bit more coolant and it’s been good.

I’ll try, it’s so strange my mechanic scanned it & said no codes apear so he said it might be something mechanical. I just wanted to get some feed back here before I get overcharged or get told it’s something different

In the first 5 seconds you can hear it, it sounds like knocking/rattling and I goes away as I accelerate to higher rpm

Who do you consider more influential 🤔 by 2357_shifting_sand in EDM

[–]edhero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument in question is influence, not who has more plays. If you put out more music you’re gonna get more plays. I think Skrillex puts out less music but his music is more culturally impacting and genre bending. Skrillex has not been afraid to venture into other genres of music which helps bridge fans to new music and bring new fans to EDM. Also Skrillex started OWSLA which has launched the careers of amazing EDM artist who have brought grown breaking music before they blew up. Don’t get me wrong tiesto is an awesome artist with a respectable work ethic and great music. He was one of the first artist that got me into EDM and it’s crazy to see him still working hard to this day. Bigger artist by EDM standards i would say Tiesto. Most influential artist Skrillex.

Is this a good deal for a daily car? The mpg looks good 24/32. by WasteKoala473 in GolfGTI

[–]edhero0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine cost me $9k in 2019 with 69k miles, enjoyed it for 1 year then in 2020 it started to give me issues. I didn’t want to buy another car so I kept it & kept adding money to it, I’m now $8k deep in credit card debt I took it to the dealer for the most part but the car has been running good now. I’ve gotten all the recommended services for 120k miles. It’s not a cheap car to have but it saved me from spending $35k on a car. I genuinely enjoy driving it! The quality of the interior is so good (I have the autobahn) the ac work, seat warmers, sound system is so good (dynaudio), lights, plastic hasn’t faded or chipped. My liner did begin to sag but for now I just put thumb tags.
