Shock Mount Replacement Poll

I'm concerned that I may have missed this issue.

Can't hear any noises when going over bumps, would the noises be really apparent?

I can only comment on my current issue, and that is squeaking, rattling and grinding from the drivers front suspension - and the noise is even more prevalent when i go over a bump.  I'm 100% sure mine will need replacing when the car goes in on the 11th, more of a concern for me however is that I've done 3,000 miles now and with 12 further days of driving ahead I'm expecting the damage to be significant.  Also hoping something doesn't snap/break in the next 12 days!

I too have started to hear a funny squeaking sound from the front. Need to get hold of vw dealership. Try were told not to touch the rear passenger side squeak.

Sounds like I wouldn't be able to miss it if I were having the issues.

Think I've got an (touch wood) ok GTD.

Word of warning - keep an eye out for it.  Mine has really been noticeable only for the last 3 weeks - before that it was ok ish - its certainly got worse over time.

This is just my own take on it (don't profess to be a car mechanic ) having got involved while the cause was being pinpointed - which took a few iterations: -

On mine both the top mount and the bearing that fits inside it were eventually replaced (both sides done, driver's side had been noisier).  Initially they tried replacing the mount only and the bearing only.

These components work together as a complete assembly.  Providing they are replaced together I'd see no reason at all why there should be any residual damage.

In addition to curing low speed noise over rough surfaces, this also cured a slight noise from the steering (when this bearing rotates).

Hope this might help a bit

I've got this rattle/squeak on the front drivers side too, taking it in soon. I've also very rarely but occasionally get a sort of soft "buzzing" sound coming from the passenger side dash board...anyone else had that?

Then the other day I was driving along and the car was making a sound like as though I was driving over raised road lines/markings when I was on a perfectly flat road (also at low speeds). This one has never come back.

Very concerning. Like a game at the moment of 'guess the sound' These definitely have the feeling of mass production.
