Dash rattle .... can anyone remember
« on: 18 September 2008, 17:57 »
top centre vent that rattles sometimes. Can anyone remember how to fix it or what to put under vent to stop it creaking?.

ive looked in our maintainance section, including the nokia threads etc, my dash is apart but im unsure which bit needs some modding.

cheers Guys

(Cheers for the Linky shaun and Sean T_T)

Job already done, didnt have to get that extreme with mine, i just put some double sided sticky Foam pads x4 to the edges of where the black plastic cover  sits on the edges of the housing to Cushion the plastic housing from creaking like it does.Road tested on lumpy roads where it normally creaks like a biatch, and shes quiet as a kitten now  :smiley:

oh and guide here http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2945481

....Very useful guide for those that care. Too much hassle for me - My rattles come and go and seem to be far less in the last 20k miles or so. Either that or my mind automatically shuts off to them.
