#205 of 208 Re: I just got my Rabbit...but some strange noise annoy me..Help Help!! [ti by vdublover Jan 12, 2008 (8:41 am)
Replying to: timeline000 (Dec 20, 2007 9:36 am) Not sure what your hearing. I do however, hear a sound sometimes coming from the back or somewhere near it. It sounds like a faint clicking sound almost like the gas level in the tank leveling out because i only hear it when I first start driving it and I'm usually traveling on an incline. I'm probably wrong but that's what it sounds like to me.

Replying to: vdublover (Jan 12, 2008 8:31 am) If I were you, I would get a second opinion via another dealership, private VW mechanic or a performance VW tuner. That way you can determine whether your dealer's diagnosis is legitimate or if they are blowing smoke...
#208 of 208 Finally, I solved the problem by tacalin Apr 29, 2008 (5:17 pm)
Yes, my friends, about 1 month ago, my rabbit just stopped in the intersection at the red light... embarrassing, isn't it? But all the bad things come with a good one...   I had the Check engine alarm lighted so I visited my "concesionnaire".... He said it was a sensor or something that adjust the RPM to obtain a certain couple of power.... And it was that because , as damaged as it was, I was able to drive, but I had like 3000 RPM for about 80 Km/h instead or 1800 or something... Anyway, they've changed that sensor and, right now the consumption dropped dramatically, around 25%...   Now I can say that I have the right mileage... something around 10-10.5 liters/100km combined town/highway and around 7l/100Km on the highway (before, it was around 13.5-14/100Km combined town / highway & 10 l/100 Km on the highway)... Pretty much difference, isn't it?   So right now, as happy as I could be, I'm thinking about asking the dealer that told me a year ago that everything is just perfect to pay me the difference in gas....   Regards from Montreal
