So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Troubleshooting VW Noises

By Ross Carson


On most normal days, the Volkswagen is the best vehicle you could ever hope to drive. It is the kind of car which becomes the envy of other people. Today, though, something seems to be wrong. The noise under the bonnet may have made you anxious.

You don't even know what those are.

Buy car parts online- A Volkswagen mechanic will be able to tell you more but here is a brief introduction of what might be going wrong with your VW.

Troubleshooting Noises in Your VW

Bang- This is when you hear something like a rifle shot. Mostly this is a backfire sound produced by rich fuel and air mixture. The heavy carb float in older VWs might be blamed for this and in new ones the cause is usually the faulty coolant temperature signals or O2 sensors. The bang sound is also caused by clogging of monolithic converter.

Boom - You will hear these sounds as a low frequency hollow one. Volkswagens with rear wheel drive need to be taken to mechanic for check-up of driveshaft and u-joints. In order to get rid of the noise in this case, these VW parts will need replacement. Purchase VW car parts online!

Buzz - Hear the buzzing sound of a large insect trapped? For this you can blame a different set of VW parts namely, the interior trim parts.

Chirp- A belt related problem is what usually causes this. These car parts make a chirping noise when they are not aligned or adjusted properly. To get rid of this sound, some repair or belt replacement will be necessary.

Grinding - This sound can be very annoying for an owner of Volkswagen. Something has really gone wrong when you hear this. Worn out pads or linings on brakes might be causing this. The VW part to replace in this case would be the brake pads and linings.

Sizzling - Sound as if bacon is frying in the Volkswagen, even when the engine is off? The leaking oil or coolant is what normally causes this. A visual inspection will tell you where the leak is.

Hearing strange sounds from beneath the VW's bonnet? These sounds can actually tell you what the problem is. Think of what that problem might be. Read more on car parts!
