Jetta 2012 - Rattling Sound

Post by Juls »

Hi Guys

I need to know if anyone have had the same issue, when pulling away after going into second gear a rattling sound coming from the front wheel driver side (right side) and then the sound disappear while driving until you come to a stop. It happens when ever the car pulls away in second gear.

Then also their is a slight clucking sound at times.

My question is can this be from the drive shafts into the engine or into cv joint. It does not sounds like your normal cv joint clucking sound.

I need some direction before taking it to the dealer.

Sounds like a CV.

Jack up the affected side and put a trestle underneath. Start car and put into 5th gear. Listen to CVs to determine whether inner or outer.

Hi

I have taken the car to kwik fit to check my cv joint but they found nothing wrong there. So where else could the noise come from.

Brake pad anti-rattle cilps on the brake calipers, maybe?
Stones caught in the tyre tread? This happens way more than people think it does.

Hi guys

after a complete diagnostic checks shows that my engine is pinging and that is wht makes the noise that sounds like its coming from the wheels. My cv and wheel bearings was checked all are still good. They suspect that timeing or compression could be the reason for the ping in the engine.

am not sure. Could that be the reason for the ping.

it is 1.2 tsi

i was just advised that there is a compression issue on two cylinders compression is at 600 and 900. Apparently the head must be removed, they say it can be a valve not sure.

What could a repair cost more or less like this?
