yep no sound at all, sounds like a prob, visit the dealers, they at least cant deny its an issue and if they say they are all like that, go to the nearest gti and get them to prove it.

I had this issue on my 07 GTI.  Luckily my best mate is a master tech at Chester VW and stuck it on the VAGCOM.  Had an engine fault with the temp sensor....meant my fans where running when they didn't need to.

Booked it in under warrenty, they replaced the sensor and fans no longer noisey  :laugh:

Hmmm . . . the air-con itself doesn't make a noise on mine when running, but immediately after you turn off the engine, it makes a kind of ticking/gurgling sound - weather i've used the air-con or not.

The stealer says "they all make that noise" - but refuse to let me listen to another GTI!  :angry:
