Tiguan 2012, 2.0TDI, 4Motion, DSG, Kicking sound.
I have Tiguan 2012. 2.0TDI 103kw 4motion DSG
When turning at a slightly higher speed, especially when I have to turn the steering wheel close to full lock, I hear a single loud metallic clicking or popping sound, as if something is skipping or suddenly moving into place. It sounds like the noise is coming from underneath the driver’s feet or around the driver’s seat area.
When I test the car in a parking lot by driving in tight circles or doing figure eights, the noise can sometimes occur several times in a row “click, click, click” and it sounds like something metallic is popping or jumping under the car.
The noise does not occur when the car is stationary, and it is mainly noticeable when the car is turning under load, particularly during tighter turns.
Interestingly, when I open the driver’s window while driving, I cannot hear the noise from outside the vehicle. I can only hear it clearly from inside the cabin, and it always seems to come directly from the floor of the car, underneath the driver’s feet or seat area.
Also i dont hear this soind when car is cold..
