No! No! No! armour all is crap!!!
I only use stuff called polyglaze dash & trim care , It used to be called solar care but they changed name sometime in last 2 yrs. Use it on everything inside and out, tyres, dash, bumpers etc.
I have 06 gti and used it on window rubbers from day 1 still look pretty good.
always get black smear on rag when wiping tho...

Dashboard rattle. Worse in mild weather (not cool, not hot) been back twice. never fixed.

Driver's door has something rattling around in there. Not funny. Again, worse with tempetature. Seems like a fairly serious piece of kit banging around though.

Clunks through the driveline. Could be pad knock, but i'm thinking driveshafts.

Motor now making noise. Up top, on the front of the motor, behind the timing covers.

Not real impressed, and another two weeks before it can get in....

I have a grinding/clunking noise that I can also feel through the clutch when I take off from idle. When I lift my foot off the clutch in gear, about half way up I can feel it grinding on something. When I am going slowly (only in 1st gear) over bumps, there is clunking noise coming from under the car, I can also feel this through the clutch.

Is my gearbox about to fall apart?? My gear changes feel the same as before, but these noises have just started
