Have you checked the metal runner rail which the front seats are located on. They are used to enable the seats to be moved forward and backwards. Specifically at the extreme rear end of these rails are some plastic pieces which are not securely attached and this causes rattles. Also note that sometimes noises in the cabin can not come from where they seem to and a passenger may help in locating the source of the noise.
 

My gti that I have owned from ordering 11 years ago is still tight and has 140k miles. I have serviced it myself since she was 3 years old. Replaced thermostat 6 years ago still all good now. Had an intake manifold go also but I think it was only a sensor on the thermostat as someone here pointed out after I had changed the whole unit. Have recently replaced  the front shocks and springs when front spring cracked. Car has been bulletproof otherwise and will never part with it. I have a 530d now that does all the hard commuter miles so my gti miles are now all smiles.

I’m looking for a decent set of 7.5 18” Milton Keynes alloys with or without tyres for winter or track use. Not particularly bothered about a bit of corrosion or lacquer peel but would rather no bad kerbing. Would prefer delivery options rather than collection though could collect in East Midlands area. Single alloys also considered. Thanks!

Put some cardboard or something under the car and see what fluid you get- coolant would be obvious.

Yes, it was out of stock when I wanted one as well, that was during Covid though! At least you’re sorted and getting the jobs done.
I updated the maps on my 2019 estate easily enough (though it took ages) but couldn’t for the life of me get it sorted on my other Golf. In the end I bought a new card from a guy that sells updated ones online, £30 but saved me hours on the computer!!
