Spoke to my local. My clip is in. Next week gets installed. About time. On another note I haven't had any whistling for a while now. Seems to have disappeared!!!!!!

Presume the RS is ok , same motor .

the vRS has the same issue, however skoda won't recognise/accept the issue, vw won't fix it because they think the RS has a different engine to the MK6 GTi!!
if only skoda & vw aus had a clue (technical knowledge) about the products they sell, and provide the appopriate support.

thankfully mine isn't anywhere near as loud as the GTis, according to the vw techo who did a test drive with me.

Got the call today from Paul Wakelings at Cambelltown (after i emailed them yesterday prompted by this forum after reading there were clips in stock in other Sydney dealerships) , im booked in to have the anti rattle fitted next Thursday !!!

Another happy camper

Got my clip fitted this morning at Barloworld Glen Waverley.
Only took an hour all up.
No test drive before or after, so drove away initially a bit nervous as mine had definitely got louder over the last 18 mths.
Radio off, initially heard same familiar noise only slightly.....oh nooooo, about to turn around and go back but drove a bit further and then nothing......noise gone!

Kept testing rest of my 30 min drive home, noise FREE....
It's going to take a couple of drives to sink in that it's really gone but finally the car is how it should have been on day one

Good luck to the rest of you waiting for your clips, I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Dropped the car off at 7.30, they called up around midday to say it was done.

Mine was the same... 8 - 12.
They said it needed to cool down before they could get in there to fit the clip.

I've just picked it up, and its rattle free.
not exciting, not amazing... just free of rattles.
Like it always should've been.
