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

[Mi16 Man]

So from looking at that link, it looks as though Volkswagen have come up with a small spring-clip type thingy to go on the wastegate actuator rod and prevent this rattle.

Anyone spoken to their local VW dealer yet? Are they open to fixing the issue now that a part # has been generated?

Just emailed the Team @ Gerald Slaven (with part #). Will let you know how I go!

Top news if this works!

[Vaku]

is the TSB #2024061 universal?

or can we quote that to dealers in AUS? I have my service in 4,000ks from now and obviously I would like the fix as would everyone..

anyone get feedback from a dealer yet?

About damn time. I drove a 2008 Tiguan 125TSI the other week and couldn't believe it also rattled. Googled it when I got home and found it has the EA888 as well, so they will have more than just mk6 GTIs to fix.

I have got over the rattle but it still detracts from what is otherwise a flawless car. I'm looking forward to hearing the last of it!

LOL!
Number of known faults...
EA113 : 0
EA888 : 2 (drinks oil + wastegate rattle)
