Title: Any wastegate issues for Mk7 GTIs?
Post by: Jimi on 16 May 2014, 02:08

I'm aware of the issues that plagued the Mk6 GTi as well as the 1.4tsi Mk7s. I have a faint version of the same rattle on my Mk7 GTI but the internet hasn't revealed anyone else with something similar. It's not coming from the cabin and it's not the soundaktor. It's a faint rattle under load from 1,500-2,500 rpm. It's very consistent and therefore easy to replicate.

Has anyone else experienced this? I figured this is a good place to ask as there are far more Mk7 GTIs around in the UK than here.

I'm booked into the dealer but I've got to wait three weeks!

Cheers

i had this on the list of things to keep an ear out for before i picked the car up so someone mustve posted about it on here, but i cant say i notice, but i dont notice much tbh its a bit loud in my cabin, so maybe it is effecting me but i dont realise.
