Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I had a similar problem in a Polo GTI, and it turned out to be missing a rear rubber grommet that kept the airbox stable. I shoved a rag between the airbox and firewall and noise was gone, so I got the new part for ten bucks or so from VW.

      I also have this but under moderate acceleration/braking and sometimes when I turn. I mainly get this from the front right (in front of the foot well) and sometimes from the left side...

        Could be a knocking subframe..Check out the thread I created on another forum about a cheap cure for it:
