Rattles!

Cool, cheers.
I suppose as with most mass produced cars, i know the GTi isnt but the car it's self is, it would be unusual for a unique problem to develop on just one of them so it stands to reason that my car has the same issue yours did. I'll give them a call in the morning and see what they say.
Just hoping they dont get funny about my car having an aftermarket headunit, they know i've had it fitted and i did ask about whether it would effect any warranty claims etc and they said it wouldnt but we'll see what happens know i've got a problem.

Curiousity got the better of metoday and i decided to pop the top part of the vent off and have a look, i didnt take the front part of the vent out but i managed to get into the area where most people wedge something in to stop the rattling, my car looks different though, there must have been a revision to this part on the later cars, i tried pressing and pulling on the area while i was driving but it's definately not from this.

I've got the car booked into the dealer on Wednesday so we'll see what they find.

Keep us posted kenny.  If it sorts it out then I'll get mine booked in.

Cheers.

Will do.
I spoke to the guy i know in the workshop when i was in today, said they had a Golf in a few months ago that had something come loose on the bulkhead! Didnt like the sound of that, by the sounds of it thats pretty much a dashboard out job to sort.
We'll see what happens when it goes in. Typically it quietened down today so it's probably going to be a nightmare to find, it's a sure thing it'll shut up when they're looking for it.

kenny.s, I guess you and the others have seen The Docs excellent step-by-step instructions?
See my post today, 23 March.
Anyway, I'm interested in "....the area where most people wedge something in to stop the rattling,..."
Using the docs photos, can you indicate where exactly this is please?

Thanks,  pswinbank

The rattle on the vent (on on top of the Dash) was so bad I had a new one fitted by the stealer!
