It sounds like the inner liner of one of your wheel wells has come loose and is touching the wheel. This would make a sound while moving, but not while stopped. Look inside your wheel wells for the plastic lining that goes all the way around the tire. Look for wear signs. It may even be a hole by now. If you see wear, tug on that wheel well liner to see if it is loose. If so, get replacement screws to hold it in place.

That would explain rumble sounds, high pitched sounds, changing sound when hitting bumps. And it would not affect any dynamics.

The creaking and groaning when car is turned off is a different animal. Possibly something to do with A/C which is depressuring after the car is turned off. To determine if that is the case, see if it makes the same sounds if you've been driving with the A/C off? If not, it's A/C related.

Just got a recall for my 2007 VW Jetta Wolfsberg Edition. Some plastic cap on the washer fluid reservoir might chafe the under hood fuel supply line and cause a fire. They're recalling over 230,000 of...

. I wouldn't think a cap to the washer fluid would be a big deal. If a cap is going to cause that, it is dangerous. Change it asap. Don't want to put yourself in harm. Personally, I don't know how that would do that. It might be something else. I haven't heard anything about it, but if it can cause a fire, it has to be more then a cap. I would think. I am not 100% but I would check for something else, perhaps call the dealership. I would make the call right now.

Does your actual speed change or just the displayed speed? It could be a build up of brake dust on the speed sensor behind the rotor if it's displayed speed.

Why does my paid off 2000 VW Jetta GLS make a high pitch buzzy grinding sound. Is it the alternator ,transmission,or timing Belts. What do I do and how mauch can it run me. Am I still covered with the

The trick is to take off the belt and spin the different things and see if any of them make the noise you hear.
Water pump, alternator, power steering, air pump, belt tensioner pulley. You could also briefly (30 seconds) run the engine without the belt and see if it still makes the noise.

For prices, you can check autozone.com or partsamerica.com
