Fuel line rattle

[Greg_ED35]

My golf has developed the dreaded fuel line rattle, which i believe there is a tsb for in the UK. Anyway i went to the dealer and the mechanics fix was ramming a piece of foam down the firewall between the pipes. 

Obviously i wasn't happy with this fix and he said he couldn't do anything as they had no TSB ! I went to another VW dealer which had just opened and the customer service i received was 10000% better. The manager and head mechanic greeted me and apologized for the poor quality repair at the other dealership, they had researched and found a new part for the fuel lines which they think is a new item and will cure the rattle!

Anyway i am going back on Monday for the work to be carried out , so if it works ill post the part numbers up here for future reference

Cheers for sharing this, wasn't even aware of this issue.

As for the dealerships, it's quite annoying that some seem to bend over backwards to help & others just don't seem to be bothered. You really shouldn't have to go to different dealerships to get the standard of service you expect from such a massive company. I experienced the same things when shopping for a car, some dealerships were awesome, offering to pay for travel, accommodation & show you round the site, where as others just couldn't be arsed even though you were looking to spend thousands with them.

Yeah i know exactly what you mean ! Makes the brand look bad and really put me off VW for a while. Glad i found a dealership with mechanics who appear to have had some sort of education and management that aren't cocks in suits !
