Squeaky Rattling noise
« on: 19 August 2009, 18:03 »
As title, back of the car, on the passenger side, not got a clue what it is. happens when going over bumps.

Could be coming from the back door area, or the bit of trim where the seat belt goes into on the pillar, i thought it might be even further back then that, round the boot area.

Would the door rubbers make this noise? although the rubbers look good, and dont let any water in?

any thoughts?

I'm having a similar issue in the same area. I think it's the rear top mounts on the strut. I replaced them and it went away for a bit but I believe it may be that the struts need torqueing up a bit. I've eliminated all other areas so it's either that or the rear axle bushes.

Ive decided as of tonight to not drive the car till i replace them. As its ruining my wheels/tyres, that i just spent like £600 on. Plus it aint doing the car no good.

So narked off, im going to take them down with bad press on all forums.

All i want is a warrenty set!

Will join on this movement lol

As of tonight I have decided to buy a MK4 GT TDi, car will be off the road for months for a new engine  :drool:  :smug:

Also check the rear bench bottom hinges they can become loose and rattle like mine also/

Good move. I wouldnt mind one of those bad boys.

I think i might just take the mk3 of the road for the forseeable future, and get cracking with it. And invest in a derv.
