    I had same issue it sounded at first like it was a pinging sound from poor fuel quality but i always fill with 98 Ron. After searching for
    possible cause i have learned that this noise is a normal sound caused by air turbulence close to wastegate then hitting the down pipe. No
    need to worry!!!!!!!

    Just got mine and its an april 2011 build , have been playing around the tacho range and so far no rattle or whistles .

    Asked the dealer before i purchased about this issue , all he said was the issue has been fixed and will effect not cars built in 2011 .

    They really should retro fix the noise if its so irritating , there is a fix .

    Not true, my car is an April 11 build GTI and it has the rattle (has from day 1, only had it a week so far).

    Looking forward to their response also Whitegti11, especially as I just had my car serviced at their Doncaster service centre 2 weeks ago and asked the service manager if any updates or news on a fix for this annoying rattle.
    Straight up answer was no

    Thats interesting , i will do my first fill with 98 and check it out , i went for a big run on friday and pushed it hard wth roof open then shut and windows, heard nothing but that loverly motor and exhaust .

    Mine is manual , is it more prone to it in DSG .

    No response. Gotta love vw customer service, interestingly a survey invitation arrived in the mail today for feedback on my purchasing experience...
