DSG 7 Rattle

[RoknRob]

I get one too, although I would describe it more as a vibration that increases with increasing RPMs, then disappears at higher RPMs. Seems to be emanating from the base of the centre of the windscreen... Is this the same as what you guys are experiencing?

There is a rattle that is known to come from right hand side of the windscreen base, it's main cause seems to be the metal lines (fuel,a/c) rattling inside the rails of the cars structure, it's more or less a lack of sound deadening........

I have this rattle too and is noticeable around idle

This other rattle (dsg) is only present on sharp throttle inputs.......

I definately have a dsg rattle on rough roads (low speed), pretty noticable with the windows open too. Its been doing it from the very start, but because it is working perfect I'll just wait what happens over time

Yeh mine sounds similar to this. It doesnt sound like pipelines from deep within the car, but closer to the surface of the dashboard - in the centre / slightly right of the dash - near to the instrument display...more prominent when the car/dash is cold - so I think it's a plastic on plastic thing...

...not a big issues as it goes quickly so I'll wait till it's first due service to ask the dealer to check

I heard the DSG rattle for the first time today. Funnily enough, it was whilst the service guy from the dealership was thrashing my car around the block (me in passenger side) looking for the knocking sound around right hand side of dash/firewall. He gave me the ole "yeah that's normal".

It would appear that I'm only getting this knocking sound when I first warm the car up and take off so it must be some piping issue as others have stated previously.

There is a rattle sound that did come from the front right side of my dash board, when i put it in for a service i explained where the rattle was coming from, ive had 2 Volkswagen employees confirm that this issue is a common problem. both from different dealerships.

They fixed the rattle under warranty and have not had a single rattle, its been about 3 weeks since had fix done.

They diagnosed it as the fuel lines knocking in the chassis rails.......took around 2 hours for them to complete....
