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

[TwisTz]

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?

Hmm.. will have to look out for the rattle when I pick up my MY12 GTI tomorrow then. Haha.

I'm used to rattles coming from currently driving a RenaultSport Clio, so I'll probably notice it right away.

Yep, my wastegate rattle started at around 200kms. To be honest it doesn't bother me that much. The creaking and clicking doors (presumably the door rubbers) is far more annoying. I've also got a rattle behind the glovebox at around 1200rpm which the dealer is going to look at. If all I could hear was the wastegate rattle, I'd be very happy.

MY12 only 400Km (not sure is it coming with famous clip or not)

There is a noise but not so noticeable (only 400km and I am not pushing hard) like on MY10 model ...also there are some indications, in German Scirocco forums, that even after installing that clip rattle (significantly reduced) is still there - under certain condition (or is it product of owners imagination?)

Took car in today. They looked at it, heard rattle and ordering clip now. They said that clip is not guaranteed to stop the rattle????? Waiting for clip now and it is only about an hours work to install it.

Well mine is april 2011 build done 2000k still no rattle , tried all the suggestions near walls etc , nothing , deaf aid might be faulty .
Only noise i notice is when i hit 4500rpm plus a beautifull jet like whoosh from the turbo as i power on out of corners on B roads .

Love the drive .

is this rattle only for the MK6 GTI with the EA888 engine? Or is it common on the older EA113 TFSI engine for MK5 GTI/MK6 Golf R's? And how loud is the rattle?

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!

Thanks man but I guess I might give it a miss. I got an impression from CCC that they wanted to take care of their customers first as the young tech I finally got to talk to said there are only 50 clips coming into the country at the moment and his two friends with GTIs love the noise - he told me to call back after October as by then plenty should be available. That led me to talk to my dealership and all this plus other little things which I will be observing for a bit.

Good to hear.. so looks like everyone is getting theirs fixed soon or at least looked at for ordering a clip. Sounds like a quick job too. Let us know how you go.

It is only on EA888...

Went into my local service center armed with the Info from here and they have ordered the part and will be fixing it under warranty, even though originally saying that it wasn't a warranty issue and the rattle was deemed "Part of normal operation"

How did you go with the new car TwisTz? Have you noticed the rattle yet?
