why does my Volkswagen Passat B8 (2015-2022) make a loud noise during acceleration

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, socket set, torque wrench, flashlight, and safety glasses.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.

2. Repair Exhaust Leaks

• Step 1: Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
• Step 2: Inspect the entire exhaust system, including pipes and muffler, for any visible leaks or damage.
• Step 3: If leaks are found, mark the areas for repair. For small holes, use an exhaust patching kit or replace the affected section.
• Step 4: Tighten any loose bolts or connections using a torque wrench to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings.

3. Replace Engine or Transmission Mounts (if needed)

• Step 1: Remove any components obstructing access to the engine mounts (such as air intake duct or battery).
• Step 2: Use a socket set to remove the bolts securing the engine or transmission mount to the chassis.
• Step 3: Replace with new mounts, ensuring proper alignment and torque to specifications.
• Step 4: Reinstall any components that were removed for access.
