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

[JPanDAX]

I'm booked in to reproduce the noise from the waste gate tomorrow morning. They tried to deny there was a fix available. They were aware of the issue though. So I mentioned the TPI and they have confirmed. I just need to show the the noise and they will arrange fix they said. Will update as progresses.

Good idea for you to go elsewhere by the sounds of it, hopefully they will miss out on some warranty $ with that sort of
attitude. Did you give him the updated TPI number btw?
My dealership service manager also confirmed the number had been superseded, then went on to say he knew nothing
about this fix, so rather than discuss it any further, I just let my fingers do the walking, no problems.
Wont be any help to you though cause I am in Melbourne, sorry
Hope to be noise free FINALLY next month after 15 mths.

Yeah I had my mobile phone with the browser open on that page with big pictures of clip and TPI report and showed him all with explanations of where the clip goes on etc but he only replied by saying it's all b*** and said not to trust information online. He wouldn't even pretend to move his hands while he was standing right in front of a computer. Maybe I was fobbed off... and I am not a good talker to further the conversation when the other person just shuts it in my face several times. Is anyone else in Sydney getting it fixed at dealerships where they didn't buy the car from? Good luck with the fix, GTI mk6. I'd love to hear the car accelerating without that noise as well.

I also had a tech riding in my car to confirm it on day 1 and as soon as we got out on the road and going up hills a couple of times he said he is well aware of it but there is no official fix for it and VWA would contact customers if or when the fix becomes available. He told me then I was not the first one to enquire about it. Which dealership did you go to if you don't mind me asking. Thanks.

Went into Barloworld Glen Waverly on Saturday. All I said to the service guys was I've got a rattle to report, didn't manage to go any further until one of the guys started laughing and said 'ahh yes the rattle' lol. Apparently they have ordered a bucket load of the clips and Germany still hasn't given them an ETA for arrival. I've been booked for one and will get a call once they arrive.

Bpgti - I bought at Paul Wakeling at Campbelltown but my local dealer is Southern Classic Cars in Wollongong. I use SCC as they are my local dealer.

Thanks for that. I might as well keep looking around my local areas.

You need to push it with them! Otherwise if they think they can avoid he fix they will. And perhaps some of them are not completely up to speed with fix.

Good luck!

Berwick VW confirmed they ordered the part for me yesterday.

I took delivery of my GTi (MY12) last week, and noticed this rattle straight away.

Called my dealer, they are aware of the issue and the fix, and asked me to take the car in later this week for a test drive with one of the technicians there. They were surprised that I hear it in a MY12 - they thought the problem should have been fixed at the factory before the MY12 model run started.

Has anyone else experienced this rattle in a MY12 Golf GTi?

I also went in to Barloworld On Sat because the lady I spoke to over the phone wanted me to demostrate the rattle first. But the service rep on the day knew what I was talking about and didn't need to listen to it. Just waiting for the part to arrive now.
