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

[MiiLos]

Patiently waiting for my phone call to say clips in....

Me too.. I get the feeling we'll be waiting a while :|

Gtimk6,

Yeah the Rattle is completely gone!

Tested with all windows down, higher gear under load, next to other cars, pulling away from the lights etc

Basically everywhere I would normally hear it.

All you hear now is the turbo which was masked slightly by the rattle

I found it strange when I asked how did the clip install go and he said yeah it improved it slightly and seemed hesitant to even say that, then after I read the job list I thought oh well has to still be better than before :/

But nope, it's gone!! Improves the driving experience so much IMO!

Miilos, that's why I supplied my own clip cbf waiting - almost backfired when they initially said they would not install it though.

Thanks again to Corey for assisting to make this all happen!

Yeah that's fair enough, I guess the benefit through the dealer (now that its an official fix) is that I won't pay for anything and if anything happens its all on them.

yeah thats why I wanted the dealer to install it, watched a youtube clip of the install anyone could do it..

My dealer placed an order for my clip last week, but they didn't tell me roughly how long it will take to be delivered. How long is the wait for others with the same issue?

[MiiLos]

My name got taken down for it 29th of August and the guys told me they have no ETA from VW Germany yet and that they placed an order on a heap of them few weeks before I came in so yeah not looking pretty at this stage.

Good stuff Vaku
After 16 mths of this irritating sound, I am rapt there's such a simple fix.
Mine has definitely got more pronounced over the last few months, so after reading your reply, I have gone from
patiently waiting to impatiently waiting for that phone call now

I see we are waiting for the call from the same dealership MiiLos
At the time of my call they were expecting them this month...oh well hope it won't be as long a wait as a Polo GTI is?

[MiiLos]

lol awesome! lol its a clip.. really don't see what the hold up is..

[Corey_R]

Well... it would normally take about 2 or so weeks to come into stock anyway.
But lets say that everyone overseas is just as eager as you guys are, then it's likely that the part is out of stock even in Germany and a new batch needs to be made
