GTI MK6 - Faults/Rattles/Squeeks etc

[ErikGTI]

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

Back to the dealers again.

I have the dash ones and the the boot one too now The dash ones started yesterday morning.

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.

Hi,

and what did they do about the seat??

Yes, I got the tick, tick sound today from behind the driver's door. This was when the car was heated up by the sun. It's the shiny black  covers on the door frames that probably heat up and expand. Once cooled down the tick, tick disappeared. Lots of ticking this summer I imagine.
Does not bother me, really.

Me thinks it will when drving in sun on long journeys??

Not a GTI but I have a one month old GTD DSG.

1.  I get a knock coming from the rear of the car every time a go around a corner - there is nothing loose in the car. 
2.  A LOT of vibration throughout the cabin, suspension a bit more than firm!
3.  Road noise loud but a strange loud noise coming from front left side of car - sounds like wind noise but isn't ? Heaven alone knows
4.  Usual steering rack noise.  Had it in my Mark V - and was never really fixed.

With extras I paid just shy of 30K for this car - and am not very impressed

Left the driver's side in the sun all day. Tick, tick did not happen. Probably spoke too soon!

Picking up my GTD tomorrow after two days at the dealers to fix rattles from both doors. Apparently there's some form of directive out from VW on how to fix the problem - there was a GTi already there when I took mine in having the same fix applied.

Without scrolling through the thread, what is/was amiss with your car if I may so enquire, please?

You may. Rattles from both sides of the car which seemed to emanate from either the doors or B pillars, but difficult to pin down. Mainly noticeable on potholed local roads at low speed, but rarely when cruising on the motorway. I should know more tomorrow about the "fix" when I collect the car.

Ver' annoying. Drive me more bonkers than I already am.
