Car failed to start. Sorted but now some other problems

[robtt]

I had that rattle. It was the drivers sun visor amazingly . Got a new one under warranty and peace restored

[Talk-torque]

I also have a question about the soundakotor in the car, how much of the noise I hear in the car is down to that in a car with the sound and sport pack? I've driven a GTD without sound and sport and I could literally feel the vibration from it in that car and it was horrible.

Not had the sound and sport pack, so I don't know how much specific adjustment you have with that, but the soundaktor can be almost silenced by putting onto the eco setting in the "Individual" driver mode. You can also disconnect it altogether, but I don't think that's necessary with it set to eco.

Which rattle, the one on the B pillar? I would never have thought it could be that. I will remove it tomorrow and try and see if it works. Thanks

[robtt]

Yup. But mechanic at Lookers Middlesbrough knew immediately what it was as a well know fault

Sorted out the rattle noise I had, it turned out to be the rear door cards at the top by the B pillar. Not sure if it is just my car but they seem to be badly designed because I can, on both sides push the door card in and they move serveral mm

If I push both in they stay quite until the rear doors are shut again. I'm going to put a little bit of packing in the gaps to see if that helps. The front seat rattle is a little harder to get to the bottom of.

I'm going to have to get the car booked in for the problem with the phone calls as it is getting to the point now where I can't trust it. Has anyone else had the problem with phone calls? It would really help if I had some info before going to the dealers.

Can you describe the phone call problem.

Also, what Phone (and IOS/Android version running on it), do you have a MIB1 or MIB2 unit in your Mk7 and can you show me the software version it is running? (the MIB unit)

I will just copy and past from the first page to recap.

1st problem is really annoying and it is with my phone. 40% of the time I make or receive a call it is distorted to the point both sides are inaudible. I have an iPhone 7 plus on iOS 10.2 and I've tried making both car and phone forget each other and and then set it up again. I've tried with my iPhone 7 which is also on iOS 10.2 and I've tried it on my android and windows phones with the same problems. Also when playing music over Bluetooth it often mutes for a second or so and then is fine until the next time. If I rewind the song and play the same point again it doesn't mute. All the music is downloaded so it's not a coverage problem.

Any help would be brilliant.

MIB1 or MIB2 head unit in the car? (if you don't know, if you have AppConnect (or the option for it) then its MIB2)

Go into the settings screen and grab the software version of the MIB unit too.

I suspect that your MIB needs a software update...

[I wanted a GTi]

It's MIB2, it's a brand new car.

[fredgroves]

Ok, MIB2... but what software version is it showing?

Perfectly possible that you have a software version that has a bug... either that or the unit is faulty and needs replacing.

There were both problems with MIB1's early on...
