When you stop and think about it its a bit mental - a product worth tens of thousands of pounds and they want to fix it with some tape.

My passenger side “rattle” is back. Even though VW claimed the “rattle” was caused by the front passenger side brakes. I can’t for the bloody life of me work out where it’s coming from, I’ve annoyed the hell out of several passengers asking them to find it but we can’t. What fun.

I’ve just received a call from my dealer and Apparently my noise/rattle was a broken door card clip, call me a synic but I’m not convinced

What on earth is a door card clip? 😂

Thanks, I will give the door card a kick in the morning…

Picked up the car. They had the passenger door card off, and the rattle has supposedly gone. We shall see. They finally acknowledged that I need the steering wheel replacing. This should apparently fix the 4 persistent faults everytime I get in the car:
SOS alert
Travel assist alert
Parking sensors not working, check if need cleaning
Manoeuvre braking unavailable.

Frustrating that it’s taken 3 trips to get it ordered. No replacement steering wheels in the UK, so it’s on order.

Fingers crossed for you. Let us know what time you hear the rattle tomorrow. 🙄

Rattle does seem to have improved. I heard it slightly, over bumps. Not sure if I’m just overly sensitive to it, so will see how it goes

Nope, still vibrating. So difficult to pinpoint. Seems to move depending on where your head is in the car. So frustrating.
