MK6 GTI - Rattle upon acceleration - Resolved via TPI: 2021062/7

[Ooj]

Clip fitted during the 2nd year stealership service. Rattle has not completely disappeared but is a lot quieter and really only kicks in after 2500-3000rpm

I believe skoda is about to start fitting these under warranty.

It gets better with age. Trust me. Give it another week or so.

that would b nice.
maybe the techos at vw will finally admit both the gti and the rs have the same engine.
and skoda aus will finally accept that the engine ('CCTA' ) mentioned in the tpi, is the same engine in the rs!!!

maybe.....or maybe not!!

Mine is brand new, less than 300km old and does this. Thanks for the thread full of info, will book it in and get the clip fitted.

You don't.
If you did, you wouldn't need to ask

Yeah the issue appeared after a couple hundred k's in mine. It was very noticeable, put your windows down and it sounds like a dead catalytic converter rattle.

Clip fitted today by Burwin VW, its definitely more quieter now although not completely.

Hi Guys,

I finally got my rattle fixed. It had nothing to do with the actuator rod but more from loose transmission cabling and brackets. When these were resolved, no more rattle. I know most of the GTIs rattle are due to the actuator rod, the same rattle in the TSI, for me, was from loose cabling and brackets. Just and FYI for any 118TSI owners experiencing the rattle.
