Hi all, I've just joined this forum. Quickly flicking through, I think I'm old enough to have fathered most of you, so hope you'll excuse an old fart joining in. I wondered whether there are any R32 owners amongst you. I bought one of the first 5dr jobs last May and without doubt it's the most exhilarating car I've ever driven, though that's not saying much considering my previous cars such as Volvo 850, Espace, Galaxy, Xantia (oh the shame), etc..... The ride is great (i.e. stiff), however I think it may be too hard for the rest of the body. I'm getting a few niggling rattles and creaks (the car, that is - not me), the most annoying of which is very noticeable and distracting, somewhere behind the centre air vents in the console. The supplying VW dealer has tried and failed three times to cure this now. So, the real reason for this post was to try and find out if this is a common problem with R32's or indeed with other MkIV Golf's. Of course, if I've got music or radio on, the rattle is drowned out - but I often like to drive in peace, and part of the reason I bought the R32 was the Golf reputation for build quality.
