Thanks for the update.  Assume the  top mounts were replaced under warranty?  Seems an odd part to wear on what must be a near new car?

Mine was in on Monday, but was diagnosed with a suspension boot which was catching / stuck.  However pretty much as soon as I pulled away the same sound was still there.  Its difficult to describe, almost like what you would hear if you stacked two cereal bowls together and gently moved them around  :whistle: :grin:

I'll need to book it in again...

Good description. They tried to say they heard a squeek. I said no listen again.
I looked online and it seems quite a common one on Mk7/7.5's so reckon it has filtered down. If it does it aain I will upgrade them as I think VWR do a set

Stick to your guns on it and kick off. Must admit my dealer was very good and did everything on the list

With how I was dealt with I am wondering if VW has been trying to clear up its at on the service side. They used to be useless, 90% of problems I had with older cars used to come back no fault found until the part failed comepletly.
This was very slick with 3 updates while they had the car was actualy close to being to much  :grin:

Yeah I know what you mean  with my first polo there was a hissing noise every time you stopped (like a lorry air brake releasing pressure) they basically called me a liar , made me feel terrible but after it kept doing it they fixed it even though they never told me exactly what they did  ( air con problem)  I did have to email there main office and copied my local dealer in to get it sorted. That was a different dealer  to what I’m using now mind
