I've got an annoying noise coming from the passenger seat area, it ranges from a bit like "slow down, we're going much too fast" to a high pitched "Jesus you're gonna get me killed!" type sound.... Really aggravating!

I've tried the Gummi Pflege (bought from Ebay - Thanks Joe) around the offending area but end up with a nasty ringing in the ears!

What could it be?!

Google search suggests Rohypnol may be worth trying!

Had this squeek on my mk5... I would check that the rear seats are fully locked in their upright position. :smiley:

Worked! Thanks Phil!  (embarrassed face thingy)

Not a single rattle even in Sport mode on bad road surfaces. First car ever that's been so!
why would you drive on a bad road surface in sport mode :undecided:

DOH!
TO REALLY CHECK FOR RATTLES.

From the car or your ageing body?

You've never had a single rattle?  Hard to believe but lucky for some.

Not a single rattle. Same as our Mercedes. Hope our luck holds out.

mine developed a rattle today from either the passage footwell/seat area or maybe the centre console

it is only on certain road surfaces or at certain engine speeds. just a very faint vibration or buzzing.

i will have to get someone to drive the car for me so i can find it.


plus either the drivers side front or rear door creaks going round tight right handers. annoying.

I'm going to move the strike pins in slightly on the back door and see if it helps.

When I first got the car, I had really annoying rattles coming from behind instument binnacle and the central air vents.
However, after Darren (mortygt140) fitted my Bluetooth and RNS 510*, the rattles have gone for good.
