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

[G-rig]

I wouldn't spend too much money, the real issue you will have is that should you choose to bring a claim, your remedy will be to sell the car and sue for depreciation, which wont be much, $7-$10K maybe. Its not really worth the effort, and I can't see VW treating it lightly given the case could set a precedent. I`m a lawyer, and one that hates big business getting away with stuff like this, but its probably one we've got to let go.

Good luck suing them for something that has been designed a certain way and isn't actually a problem. There are minor difference between past and present models so just something you have to accept (otherwise buy a MK5 but i know which is the better car).

If you got a retune and/or intake & exhaust you would have other things to listen to (or turn the radio on).

I have seen and read the TPI from VW, it clearly states that it is expected behaviour and in bold letters "DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIR"

thats all the VW dealer can do.

Why don't you scan it and post it up for everyone considering were up to 26 pages on the rattle?

Would people prefer the sound or the cam follower issue on MK5's?

Until i read all this did not even know it has a rattle. It is hardly over the top or load IMO.

Retune doesn't affect the noise. Not sure about the intake. Because the noise is caused by the wastegate, an exhaust upgrade simply makes it louder - or so I've read on the US forums. Next?

My dealer said he couldn't give me a copy of the bulletin, which I found curious. The wording has already been posted on this thread.

Doesn't matter which is preferred. This sound is annoying enough for dozens, maybe hundreds, of people to bring it to the attention of VW. Isn't that the issue, not a comparison between different noises in different cars?

I meant re: the retune, that you can hear the turbo/induction more which may take your mind off it.

Interested to follow this though to see what VW can do about it but don't really know the noise nor worried about it. There are two interior rattles I'd like to fix first.

I will just chip in say that when I test drove gti I could not hear anything. I will though let u know when I get my gti if I have this issue. I listened to mirsad(ov) clip you can hear the rattle as described earlier in the forum.

Should be for the first year but just a matter of reporting them and booking the car in.

I was the same, didnt hear the rattle.
Picked up my car 2 weeks ago and yeah it has the rattle. It's nothing to worry about though, i dont find it annyoing at all.

I'll agree with the doesn't bother me crowd. Just hit 1500kms on my Jan 2010 built GTI and its really wanting a bit of pedal to floor action, or maybe thats just me
