Rattles and interior build on MK6?
« on: 13 July 2009, 20:23 »
Hi

I'm driving a Golf MKV GTI -07 (a.k.a. Rattle box).

How is the interior build of the MKVI compared to the MKV? Does it rattle as much?

I assume that media cars are preped and are not good to use for comparison.

Thanks!

So far, the two mkVIs GTIs I test drove, the DSG and manual were excellent. The interiors were built superbly. No rattles and in general I thought it was fantastic and of good quality.

I think that was the one thing they absolutely wanted to get right after all the grief with mk5 rattles.

I thought the build quality of the car I test drove was pure class! not a rattle or a squeak out of place it maybe seemed too quiet and with it all being black it was like being in a little cocoon I liken it to being back in the womb. :wink:

Mine is back in the garage for the third time because of rattles. I asked to test drive it vs the demo car which was loads worse than mine. Got a call from the guy dealing with it today. Said they think they've solved the problem (loose bits of trim, unsecured wires etc) but they couldn't be sure as they couldn't take it back out again. When I asked why he said they had to order new clips for the door panels because they'd broken them when they took them off. Will be having another chat with the brand manager tomorrow. Also my exhaust note sounds v different to the other gtis I've driven. Does anyone know if this changes as the car loosens up? Mine is v vquiet. Has nearly no exhaust noteat all. It has done 400 miles in 2 weeks. 2/3 of that by the tech guys solving the rattles.

Mines rattle free after a thousand miles but one of the kids kicked the cup holder off in the rear at the weekend and that's a bugger to get back on!

Interior quality easily as good as previous cars (audi & bmw) just a bit uninspiring I reckon.
