Don't you now have a strong smell of WD40 in the car?

It was just two very minor squirts. No smell. But I love it anyway as it reminds me of my glue sniffing days! :embarassed: :laugh:

After 4-weeks, my only gripes so far is a whistling noise from the drivers door seal at 70'ish and a rattle from the passenger door. I adjusted the drivers door striker plate and that got rid of the whistle, and after much hunting I identified the rattle as the door catch on the striker bar. Put a couple of wraps of insulation tape around it and total silence (I seem to recall that manufacturers sometimes put a heat shrink sleeve on the bar or post probably to stop it rattling) Simples!

Trim is a bit thin and cheap in places compared to my old A3, but otherwise totally thrilled with it!

I'm getting a strange, almost synchronised (every 3 seconds) ticking noise from the drivers door lock area, which is only noticable when stationary in traffice or at lights.  I'm also noticing wind noise at 70mph from the drivers door.

And a new one tonight, a squeaking noise coming from the offside rear wheel area, that I can only hear when I get in and out of the car.  I can replicate it by pushing down on the rear bumper.   :huh:

I've got a vibration/ rattle which seems to come from the driver's door when I first drive away but then seems to go once the car's warmed up a bit. The car has also developed a squeak in the last couple of days from the central locking when I double press the central locking on the key fob.

This doesn't include the racing and dipping of the revs when I'm in first gear crawling along in traffic. Me thinks it's time to pay VW a visit...

Have to say a little disappointing when considering the car's only 3 months old  :sad:

I know what you meen i must ahve about a dosen or so rattles and squeeks now but im worried about letting one of VWs finest loose on it. If i can find them and cure them myself i will be much happier known something else has not been damaged, marked or broken or thrashed to death in the process.
