My centre armrest is driving me insane. Unless it is in the lowest position, it clonks every time I rest my elbow on it.
I've looked underneath it, removed the flimsy plastic covering, used WD40, siliconed it, you name it. It bloody clonks.
Trip to the dealer is in order for the lovely Warranty Manager Petra to sort me out.

Ann, the moment you name him he will start behaving as any good boy would.
GolfTi has called his car Wolfie, you can call yours WolfyII and see how he responds!
They can all start hunting in packs! :wink:
Are you going to start a thread regarding your woes? I think you should.

Electric windows playing silly beggars today, wind them all down, (all 4) and in notice the fronts didnt go all the way down, slight piece of glass sticking out.  Repeat the down movement and they disappear into the door.  Later wind all windows up and the first tug of the front windows nothing happened, had to do it again then they wound up, rear windows passenger side never wound all the way up left a 1inch gap.
Diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Centre armrest clonk sorted with WD40. No more rattles anywhere even in 'Sport' mode. Amazing.
Gearbox and engine sooo smooooooth and quiet. The car is truly wonderful.

Mostly today in 'Normal' mode which was far better IMO than 'Sport' (a bit of the Type R). For everyday driving I have it in 'Comfort'. :smiley:
