MK6 Golf dash rattle doing my head in.....

[Lucas_R]

Hmm after doing some more dismantling tonight i worked my way up to the roof lining and removed the vanity lights under the sun visors. Each light housing has a metal spring clip which helps hold the light in place. The clips are loose and when i shake the housings i can make the clips rattle and they sound very similar to the rattle i am getting.

Some adhesive silicone and temporary tape has been used to secure the spring clips...could these be the rattle perhaps. I'll find out soon enough.

Something else to check if the vanity lights aren't it is the bonnet hinges. I had this problem on a Subaru I had where the hinge was loose. It sounded like it was the dash but was just echoing through.

Had the same thing exactly. You would never think this would be the cause.

Was the metal buckle end of the stuff they tie parcels with That blue nylon tape.

Where was it In the rear of the bonnet between the frame and the top Had to take the sound deadening out and hook it out with a bit of wire.
Was annoying as it swooshed across when going around a corner .

Another place for you to look

Damn, that sounds complicated. I might get Koji to look for it as we go around Lakeside this Sunday!

Rattles drove me mad and forced me away from the VW brand.

Rest assured that not only VW have rattles, computer problems and other assorted minor complaints
