GTI MK6 - Faults/Rattles/Squeeks etc

[am1w]

Mine rattles like a pill box, behind the dash above the Radio, somewhere from the boot (again) and the drivers seat drives my mad with a knocking sound when turning corners.
Back to the dealers again.

Sorry to hear this. It is so bloody annoying. So far so good with mine.
However, I don't expect the honeymoon to last long. The road to my place of work is a 100 year old cobbled one and it is truly a bone shaker in most cars. Quite smooth in the GTi.
My Honda Type R GT had so manny rattles, that I eventually used to dread driving the bloody thing. I only did 7000 miles in it in 2 years!

My dash one comes and goes, it will rattle for days then stop and then start all over again. Ive had the radio out to search for anything loose but no luck.


Ive had the boot one looked at and the dealer replaced the bumpstops(their adjustable), it stoped it for a few weeks but its now back again. Have a look at that, see if it helps.

Thanks. My boot one does seem  to be coming from the passenger side only and when i hit bumps. I thought it was the seat belts at first but its a suspension noise the more i listen. So it may just be what you say.

Could the dash rattle be this?

UK MKIVs

or there seems to be a recall here "coded 80B4". Seems that a part of the heating system comes away from each other causing a rattle.

The noise from the passenger's seat drives me mad every now and then....especially when braking or acceterating...( a ) and I do that a lot 

Anyone outthere the same problem...(A mechanical noise)

The variety of rattles & squeaks are provided FOC by VW so that each car has a bespoke feel!
In my case, they made a near perfect car. Thank you VW. Most grateful.

Sorry to barge I. But my mk5 gti hzndbrake jumped out of it's slot and sadly ed slowly onto a stone wall. Wish I'd known it was a common fault. CAr was still in warranty at the time.
