If you can't stand rattles then VW is not the right brand to go for.

really?  i've had 5 golf's (2 from new) and not a rattle between them.  or do you know something that  i don't?  :rolleyes:

Perhaps you are deaf.

So the next step for me - workshop manual (already ordered) and I'll try to get to that A-pillar to see what's going on there.
So where have you ordered the workshop manual from? I've been after one since I had my car. I have ElsaWin and ETKA but they aren't a great deal of use. I decided to get VW Golf & Jetta Petrol & Diesel (04 - 07) 53 to 07. Its obviously for the Mk5 so it should cover parts for the Mk6. I asked them how come they don't make newer/current manuals they said its because its covered under VW for 3 years so people don't want a manual they just take it back to the dealer.

As least I've got something to digest. :wink:

Just discovered this morning were one of my rattling buzzing noises is coming from because due to the sun yesterday its now got so loud i thought i was under attack from beas.. I thought it was the instrument cluster or the trim round it.
 BUT no its the clips that hold the sunvisors in. unclip them and it stops!! FFS

Just had mine a week and surprised how smooth and quiet it is to be honest.

The only thing I've noticed is that I have to pull the door harder to close  :undecided: ....apart from that WOW! :shocked:

Does the squeeks n creeks coincide with the change in outside temp ?
krytox lubricant is the answer if you can get to the source. It's used in the
aerospace industry and VW now have a part number for it.
It has been mentioned on this forum before. Try a search.
