Noises in Tiguan/Tiguan Allspace

[vdubbed12]

Yep, mine got louder over the space of about 2 months
Once they fixed it, everything is back to normal

Nice, it’s good to know that it’s repairable. I’ve driven the car to work today and tbh it’s not too bad or maybe I’m trying to ignore it unconsciously. lol but I can still hear easily that electrical interference type of noise on my right side. I think I’ll get used to this soon as well.

Yeah, once you hear it, you can't un-hear it

Hello,
Long time reader, first time poster here. My Tiguan Rline has developed a creaking noise while turning. It is only noticeable when turning the wheel while standing or low speed.

I asked the dealer to check it out, but said there was no fault found. Hope this link works to video file of sound (listen out for low pitch creaking) Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

One noise I get is wind buffering, which sounds like it’s from the side mirrors.
never had such noise with any other car so someone missed something in the wind tunnel during testing

Thanks for the detailed tip. I don’t hear anything in the cabin when letting off my foot - I mean it’s very quiet other than normal clicking downshifting sounds sometimes. It’s only on light to medium acceleration that I hear this noise. Like what iDiesel mentioned I thought it was a loud exhaust sound.

I’ve seen the video clip on UK Tiguan forum where a guy who is based in Taiwan had the problem - that sounded really mechanically problematic as he lets off his foot. That’s probably what you had?

Edit: Found the video - - YouTube

Volkswagen Tiguan II (201 - DSG transmission noise (2.0 TSI 4Motion) - YouTube

This sounds just like my issue, which has been described as prop shaft back lash by the VW mechanic; Tiguan mk2 DSG "clunk" - YouTube

Dont haul on the wheel while stopped When I was learning to drive my father would clip my ear if I did that. He said NEVER turn the wheel while car was stationary
