...longer trips last week and have noticed a new noise seemingly from the gearbox
In 5 th gear at almost exactly 65 MPH there is a distinctive whine, it does this more when the van it hot hence noticing it more on longer trips
It doesnt seem to do it in any other gear and it is ok above and...
Hi all,
And thanks in anticipation of any advice.
I took delivery of a brand new stock 6.1 H/Line T28 SWB yesterday. First time I drove it, I noticed what I would describe as a whining noise coming from the front underside ( could be wheels or tyres or engine bay). It's quite noticeable...
It was running perfectly then I noticed a noise whilst driving on the motorway, not a whine or whistle the engine just sounded different. Within 10miles EML and lacking power but still driveable
...when the A/C is on. Unfortunately my van threw its serpentine belt off last week, I’ve managed to replace the belt and all is well, but the whine is still present. I’m much more concerned by the whine now, incase it was the cause for the belt failure. Found various threads about this noise...
...Il try and add a video later on, but if I’m honest, it’s exactly like the above description, blowing into an empty bottle to create that whine/hum.
Dual mass clutch/Flywheel?
DSG box perhaps?
Maybe turbo?
What’s tricking me is that it is only under load. Nothing at idle or when you’re...
whilst in traffic yesterday, suddenly it whined like hell and now turning and driving is an absolute nightmare! when I looked at the fluid it was all bubbly and cavitated. Am I correct in assuming I need a new power steering pump?
Any recommendations on where to buy please?
Is it a big job...
...slippage on test coming out of my local slipway with the boat on.
I Ordered a new pump & fitted it yesterday, when I did the calibration (it whined up as its should) and then all 4 wheels were spinning under test.
Today when I scanned the van I’m getting the same haldex pump failure fault...
Hi all having just purchased a t6 from VW Listers, I have a few issues with the van
one of which is a whining noise at idle and gets louder after a long (ish) journey. Listers are saying this is normal but to me it sounds like the steering pump is on its way out. The van has done 70k and is 5...
That’s what I was hoping for, just a leaking hose. Had a smoke test done and found no leaks.
Think I have left it far too long and Turbo is just giving up. What I thought was an air leak was actually the turbo whining and on its last legs. So hopefully it will be all sorted next week and back on...
...had a Pendle remap 12 months ago and all has been fine until now, no idea whether this is a contributing factor or not……
It’s immediately noticeable on start up and there is a definite whine when driving, especially during acceleration.
Could this be gearbox related?
The van has done 52k...
...the t6 method which appears to be air to water.
I didn’t have any symptoms of failure, no lack of performance or limp mode lights, so assume it’s just being changed as a preventative measure to preempt such problems.
It’s also in for wheel bearings, deafening whine, and rattling dual mass...
Hello all. Newish to the forum and new to T6 ownership. I’m having fun so far however my van has a strange whining noise when the revs are increased (it’s not from the passenger seat!). Having looked at other threads I assume it is the aux belt or cam belt tensioner failing, but am not 100% sure...
I do notice an occasional whine from the AC especially at idle or when the revs drop between gears.
I am able to stop the noise if I turn the AC off which is weird considering how it works.
Some great points above. Also worth listening out for whining from the engine that changes pitch with revs as a failing auxiliary belt tensioner is reasonably common (my 150bhp had it at around 30k miles). About £200 to change belt and tensioner. Creaks from the roof are common and can sometimes...
