What Causes the Zizzing Noise on the Right Side of a Passat?
1 Answers
Several reasons and solutions for the zizzing noise in Passat doors are as follows: 1. Small objects inside the door trim panel, such as lighters or coins. 2. Loose interior trim or audio components. This issue can be identified by shaking the panel by hand or pressing on the noisy area while driving. If the noise disappears, it indicates the problem area, and simply tightening the components can resolve it. 3. Rusty door hinges. This issue is noticeable when opening or closing the door. Cleaning the hinges and applying some grease can fix it. 4. Aging door seal strips. Lack of maintenance over time can lead to this issue. The best solution is to purchase silicone grease for self-maintenance. Apply the silicone grease to the seal strips, let it absorb for an hour, then wipe it off for effective results. 5. Poor contact in the door lock mechanism, gaps, or insufficient lubrication. Applying grease to the lock mechanism or wrapping waterproof tape around the lock pin a couple of times can solve the problem.
