Is it down to not being insulated properly?

Its more than likely due to the fact that the rest of the mk6 is so quiet in comparison to the mk5 so you wouldn't of heard it.

Can you hear it on your GTD?

My mk5 did it.  I am pretty sure you will hear it with most cars mind.  Thats what happens when 55 litres of liquid move when going round corners and the radio is turned off.

Cant afford enough fuel to slosh about

Never really heard it apart from going over speed bumps after filling up at local tesco

I agree the noise the GTD makes is brill, but I think its just a noise generator rather than the engine note.

Its probably a breather pipe or filler pipe with fuel in as you filled it to the brim. Im due to fill mine in the next day or so so i will listen out for this noise.

I get this. Is it a whistling noise, like a noisy pump? I'm taking mine in to the dealer tomorrow.

Did you fix it?
