Noise when getting in and out of car - Solved: Handbrake not engaged enough

[manyoo]

Hi,

I hope I am not asking a stupid question here.

I picked up my GTI last week. Both my wife and I notice noise when getting in and out of the car. It seems to be noise from the brake.

Does anyone notice the same thing and do I need to ask the dealer about this?

Thanks.

Like "Phew!"
But only applies to grossly overweight people!

I believe this was covered last week.
Something to do with the car prepping for being driven and all that jazz.

Thanks Cossor and team_v.

Honestly both of us are around 70kg.. Does this classified as overweight people??

My old Yaris did not have this kind of noise.

If possible may I have the link to the thread from last week?

Are you talking about an electric pump noise when opening drivers door? Or a creaking noise from the rear brakes as if the hand brake is not pulled on hard enough and parked on a hill??
