ED30 rattle

[gazbutmk5gti]

Hope somebody can help as this is driving me mad, I've got a rattle coming from the back seat area I think, maybe righthand side, top of the rear seat. The seat is latched correctly so its not that, please help

Could be the metal part of the seatbelt clanking against the plastic side section. I would try fastening the seatbelts in the rear to their locks and see if it cures it. If it doesn't it could be that the rear parcel shelf has come out of its hinged housing and rattling against the plastic section which it sits on.

Thanx for speedy reply, I've tried both of those things

Have you unlatched it and then slammed it back again?

sounds naff but, try a bit of tape around the metal hook on the seat catch or a piece of cloth, only a thin bit so the catch still works!

I've tried slamming it. I've had the girlfriend driving with me sat in the back and I still can't find it. I'll try packing the latch out a bit, its worth a try.

What about the bit where the opening behind the rear armrest is. That comes undone and is a bit of a pig to clip in again.

Hi All,

First post so please be kind. 

I have a rattle on my ED30, when at low RPM's it sounds like something loose, I have tracked it down ski hatch. If I undo and push the back plastic bit back in it stop's for a few days. Today I have just released it (hole through to boot) no more rattle 

This took me ages to track down, sounds like a loose piece of trim in or under the car (especially when reversing)

Hope this helps.

Hey,

I have a mk4 and whenever I fold down the rear seats I have to put up with a rattle for about a week after putting them back up.  They are recarro's if this makes a difference. 

No help here  but did you just start to notice this after folding the seat down?
