Undo the chair so that it can split forwards.

Then after making sure that there are no little fingers etc  in the way.
SLAM THE CHAIR BACK INTO POSITION!!! 

Ok dont be so rough but just make certain that the chair is back tightly and that should cure the rattling. If there is a slight rattle while driving check the clips which you push to loosen the chair the plastic sometimes rattles.

Hope that kind of helps

AAGH MY FINGERS!! Thanks for the advice.  I'm pretty certain the seat is in position, but the shudder still sometimes comes.  I think i have narrowed down the sound to the centre seat though - whenever i thump the back of the rear centre seat, just under the headrest, the same sound comes - kinda difficult to explain!  Not a big problem anyway, cause i count on the growling from the engine to drown the sound!    Have tried to get a vw techi to have a look but didn't seem to know why it was coming.

Well - picked up my silver 5 door Ed30 on Saturday afternoon and she's lovely. Had a few semi-spirited drives with family admirers yesterday (is 21mpg about right??  )  and whilst it's early days she seems great - especially the grip thro' corners. Pleased mpg was substantially better this morning with more sedate drive. (boring but financial necessity!).
 In comparison with Brother in law's Astra VXR it's quite refined - his is more raw boy racer, with annoying traction control / or is it just less traction?
So early thoughts are that I'm going to be a very happy bunny for next 3 years.  BTW anybody do free tutorials on Road Angel 7000 - it's just seems so complex.

After reading so many posts in this Thread im quite considering trading in my GTI for an ED 30, no one has one in Gibraltar and could be nice being "unique" for a while, how much do you think the stealers would take my car in for and how much would they expect me to pay for an ED 30? 

[Manu_R32]

P.S I dont wanna sound spoilt, dont expect nasty comments etc...im just curious 

[Phil mcavity]

Not worth it manu!!, you will loose Thousands of pounds on trading up, red stitching or pimply knob your thing, or is it just you want to get to 60  0.3 of a second faster or 0.1 if you have DSG??, Prepare to shell out at least £6000 more, its not worth it unless you wanna throw money away

[Manu_R32]

£6,000 more!! Hahahahaa il keep my GTI    Il just spend a bit of money on it...should be fine lol

Not sure what the hype is about this edition 30. I personally would rather have a standard GTI. For some or other reason I do find that obviously the edition 30 is unique. But for me the Cons outweigh the pros. Its a bit more powerful. Has no leather. And I dont like the rims. I like the black rockinghams but still even with those it means nothing to me.

I dont mean to cause any offence to those Edition 30 owners. But to me i feel that VW didnt do enough to make the edition 30 "Special". Manu_GTI. Keep your GTI. Save your £6000 and modify your GTI. You might find that in the end you will have your own unique car. Modified to your tastes and not to some VW Designers taste.

Hate to be so negative. But honestly. I just dont see what the hype is about this edition 30. It just does not do it for me.
