Yep, starts at approx. 2500rpm, sounds almost like exhaust baffles rattling. Gone by 3000rpm. Only happens with a bit of load on the engine.

Somehow they managed to drag out a 5 minute fix for an hour and a half, but it's been done under warranty and is much better!

Glad they've sorted it for you.

Forgot to say thanks to those that had posted about this previously.

I'd still be convinced it was the exhaust without you guys ;)

Took the wife's into the dealers yesterday convinced I had the issue.

Took the techie up the road, couldn't produce the noise. Irrespective, dealers said they will do it for me, all booked in for 3 weeks time as I can't get in earlier  :smiley:

....and they have said I can have their Mk7 demo for the day  :evil:
