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

[easeup]

New ETA from my dealer is that the clips should arrive in one week. I want my dang clip.

I just sent in my car mentioning the TPI number to them when booking in the car for the fix. They looked up that number and ordered the clips in. They told me it should take about 10 working days for the clips to come and will contact me to bring in my car again to get them fitted in. I had to tell a little lie saying that VW Australia told me to reference the TPI number when booking in my car when in actual fact they didn't. At the end of the day it got the ball rolling and that's what we want anyways.

can some tell me what variant of the EA888 engine the Mk6 GTi has? CCTA, CBFA, CCZA, or CAWB?
its normally shown on the build plate, or in the boot with the option codes sticker.

Well my new GTI (build May 11) - has the rattle after 400km

I have to take it back to , Hoepfully it doesn't take too much convincing to get them to fix it.

Is there any way to adjust the clip? Does it fall off easily? It has been a few weeks since the clip was fitted and it never completely got rid of the rattle. Now it seems to be getting louder and is almost like it was before the clip.

Rang barloworld glen waverley and spoke to their service department, they haven't got a clue when the clips will be in, useless. Said to ring back once a month to check if they are in. Won't be buying another vw if this is the service they provide.

Does everybody have this rattle? I dont have one or havent seemed to notice it!

If yours had it you would know. I'm too embarrassed to floor it with people outside it sounds terrible.

Looks like you have saved me a phone call......same answer as last month
How much longer do we have to put up with this tinny embarrassing rattle that is definitely getting worse.
Made a joke about which would come first....the clip or the Polo GTI, damn long wait for both! GRR VAG
