Whenever I accelerate my Phaeton 3.6, there's a sound like metal clanking coming from the middle section of the exhaust pipe. I can't seem to fix it. I had it checked, and there's nothing wrong with the exhaust pipe. The dealership mentioned it's a common issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solutions?

I always thought it was the catalytic converter issue [I want to be alone]

How do I weld? Which part should I weld to?

Exhaust resonance can be fixed by welding the two exhaust pipes together.

Same here... I'm too embarrassed to drive in the neighborhood. I took it to the 4S shop, but after a week, they still couldn't fix it.

Our cars have the exact same issue, but we just can't figure out where the problem is. Especially when refueling, there's this rattling noise.

I haven't encountered that before.

All Volkswagen models have this sound; it's not a problem.

With the 3.6, I often hear a tractor-like noise during startup phase. [I want to be quiet]
