Title: Golf GTI MK7 Heat Reflective Mat Rattle (5Q2721615)
Post by: Todel02 on 02 July 2026, 22:38
Hi,

I have recently bought a 2013 Golf GTI MK7 and have noticed that when accelerating, there is a rattling/ticking noise from the engine bay from what is seems like a clip or a button hitting of the downpipe. After further inspection I have found a loose Heat Reflective Mat that was hanging down from two clips but the third was loose. It clips to itself but it has to be wrapped around something to be secure. The part number is 5Q2721615 and even with that I can't really figure out where to place it. I don't have much experience with mechanics in general so any information will help.

Please refer to number 47 on the picture.

Thanks in advance.
