Annoying dash noise

[monkeyhanger]

I have a hollow plastic squeak eminating from the flexing of the passenger seatbelt clasp when the missus is in the car. There are many sources of noise on the MK7. I've had squeaky/creaky suspension mount bearings, i've had the dashboard buzz around 1500-1700rpm which fixed itself (apparently) when the car went in for other warranty work.

Had a wee day off work today so decided to pop into VW and arranged for the master technician to to come out for a test drive. Right from the off the noise was very audible so he has taken a recording and the car is booked in for Wednesday. The only small issue is that I go on holiday for two weeks on Thursday so the car is going to be sitting at the dealership for all that time.

I suppose if it gets the issue fixed once and for all then it's no big deal.

I have mine booked in next Wednesday for the well alignment, the service manage drove the car and agrees it is not right, surprise surprise the dash nise has vanished..

Well collected the car from VW today and touch wood the noise seems to have been silenced. They eventually traced it to the trim at the plenum chamber (whatever that is) and sound proofed it. So it wasn't the sound actuator after all it would appear.

I hope this is the end of it finally and I can get back to enjoying the car

Did you get a fix on this after all guys?

I seem to have developed a buzzing sound in Sport mode in the dash at certain revs and the sound act has taken on a new note as if some bees have taken residence. Chose any other mode and it is not there so must be related to the SA.

That's what mine was doing, it is intermittent so I havnt bothered going back to get it looked at.
