GTI MK6 - Faults/Rattles/Squeeks etc

[gizzywizzy]

I have an irritating rattle on my drivers side window it bothers me but I am able to pump up the volume on the dynaudio so can drown it out.

No rattles on the sunroof yet touchwood and everything else seems Aok.

Had a rattle come from the passenger side the first week of ownership. Thankfully it just disappeared and now everything seem great.
Have covered 1,500mls so had a proper blast ( not full throttle ) on a B road. Brought a big smile to my face and started laughing out loud.
Brilliant

Tick, tick, tick, tick like a wrist watch all the time even when stationary! So I turn the music up and it goes. Just.
Hope it does not turn into a tick, tock, tick, tock like a pedulum clock. Turn my crazy.

I've had my white MK6 since Feb ....

As naa mentioned the front left side bumper is not flush with the panel....weird thing I only noticed this after the first service so need to take it back.  The alarm cover overhead has been coming lose.

The worst bit for me has been the paint discolouration on the front bumper on one side and also the lowest front section of the bumper has turned a tinge of yellow!

They've offered a respray....but it obviously won't be as nice a factory job....not sure whether to take it or not....

Still a fantastic drive though....

Sorry to hear about this. It is so annoying and not something you want on a new car.
Get it re-aligned and re-sprayed and it will then look perfect, I am sure.
The re-spray of plastic bumpers is not a difficult job and is well worth doing. Additionally, you might a get better paint thickness than from the factory.

Every time i go over a large bump, pot hole in normal or sport it sounds like there is something banging up and down IN the drivers side rear quarter panel on my 3 door "R". Anyone else had this?

FFS i have more rattles. Even the mk1 after 25 years did not rattle like this.

So far i have when i hit a small pebal or...
1) sunroof on tilt, has rattle, on i think the wind deflector at the rear (called rain channel by VW)
2) passenger door rattle/buzz.
3) Buzz behind the speedo area comes and goes has a mind of its own.
4) Rear seat rattle (cured that one with tape on catches.)
5) Passenger seat rattle (cured that one was the cable underneath the clamp on the bottom of the seat rail seems to keep working loose its a cable tie type thing)
6) Buzz rattle from passenger side centre concel somewere.
7) Rattle from rear passenger side like something loose.
Rattle from passenger side rear (fixed was first aid triangle holder strap & seat belt)
9) creak from the trims up the sides of the dash i think its the clips that hold them.
10) other tick noices every so often.
