Does anyone notice that weird wind noise in the cabin with all the windows up and the moonroof slide back about halfway?
I believe it also has to do with the pressure. If you open your windows a crack, you'll notice it goes away (i.e. allows the air to flow freely out).
How loud is this grinding noise? I've got a 2010 GTI with MT, nearly 700 miles on it. I listened carefully last night and again this AM and cannot hear any grinding noise in 1st or any other gear with windows closed, radio off. I cannot feel anything abnormal either. Isthis noise specific to a specific build date? (I'm not sure how you tell build date in VW).
I haven't had any rattling/noise from doors, or wind noise from sunroof either.
Is it normal when im driving over 70-80 mph the driver doorr sounds like air is going through it and feels as if the door is slightly open but not.?....anyone hear that at fast speeds?
I don't believe it is normal, but mine does it too.
I just signed up for this blog because I feel compelled to let other enthusiasts know of issues in the mk6. I bought mine back in October when they first came out and starting having a major engine issue after a couple of weeks. There was this clicking noise that others are talking about and when I brought it in to my dealer they told me there was an RVU issued on a bunch of VINS related to a serious engine problem with the crank shaft. They had to replace the entire engine and I'm now fighting to get a new car (lemon law in MA). If you're having the clicking noise and experience a loss in power, run the VIN to see if you're car is on the RVU list. Sorry to bring this bad news
What clicking noise? Are you referring to the noise in first gear? I'm not a mechanic, but since the noise only begins when engaging the clutch, I would have to think it has more to do with the clutching mechanics, than the engine.
Or maybe you're referring to something else... :iono:
The noise I was hearing sounded like a clicking or rattling noise and would occur when accelerating (loudest around 3,500 rpm).
