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.

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,

    weird sound from rear of car when pressing gas pedal

    hi guys,
    i have a 118tsi, since last week every time i press on the gas pedal, "eeek" sound will come out from the rear of the car. Example, when cruising at 60, I take my foot off the pedal and step on it again, the sound will come out.It is really loud especially when I have the window down.
    Any idea what's happening/breaking ???

    thank you guys

    Does it sound like a squeal, or a belt slipping? There's a known issue with the 118TSI and squealing on acceleration; see this thread:

      I think AdamD is correct- probably the super charger chirp that a lot of us get. Mine started at 2000km and is now improving quite a bit at 15000km. Still there though
