Check immediately sounds like your tire is rubbing on something and may in fact be coming off
Sounds like you have a bad wheel bearing.
We would need to know where the noise was coming from and under what conditions it made the noise in order to make an assessment.
Bad CV joints
This has to do with a faulty signal switch. At least that's what the dealer told me when mine was replaced (under warranty).
sorry no
Why did you need to replace the oil pump? It is possible that the same thing caused engine damage. White smoke usually means coolant is burning in combustion due to head gasket leak, grey smoke would be oil burning and may be caused by damaged rings or valves, black smoke is too much fuel.
Sound like a wheel bearing for sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_bearing
Perhaps a two-stage process. Firstly, gain access to the electrical output in the smoke detector, that drives the noise transducer. Use this (amplified?) to drive the mechanism of your electrically-operated lock.
"Would you like to smoke with me?"
no she does not smoke Rayray1000: she would never smoke!
Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
Asking your Volkswagon dealer would be a great start as to where you can test drive a Jetta wagon. In fact, the dealer there might even let you test drive a Jetta wagon there, if he or she has one.
I would not install a smoke alarm, in the kitchen.
