DSG 7 Rattle

[Guest]

Yeah mine was slightly different I had quite loud rattling coming from the rear of the car over slightly uneven roads or driveways ect took it back to the dealer and they said that it was something to do with the sound deadening in the boot and hearing the bare metal from the hatch lid not sure exactly what they did something about insulation but after an afternoon at the dealership it was fixed and now is quiet as a mouse even over farely rough roads

I keep hearing some kind of rattle from the front when taking off after the car has been parked for a while (at least 30 minutes). I think it's triggered by a certain speed (maybe 10-15 km/h), any ideas?

Other rattles I've located:
- Something loose in the driver's door (maybe the cable for the inner operating lever), rattles when closing the door, driving into bumps or particular engine revs.
- Drivers sun shade rattles when fully opened. If I unclip the other end, but leave it in the open position, the rattle stops.
- Sometimes a bang/thud can be heard from the front axle when driving at a lower speed, but this seems pretty random and not connected to any bumps etc.

Quite many issues for a brand new car, but I'm hopeful the dealer will fix at least some of them.

ive been experiencing the same rattle in my 3 day old 77tsi dsg.. but only when steering slightly to the left and under heavier throttle.
when i steer to the right slightly, the rattle disappears :S

To my original post on the DSG rattle, i have listened to the rattle various times over the past 5000km since i got the car, its only happens at slow speeds upto approx 40km/h,

Can only hear it with the windows down and when going over bumpy road/speed humps etc.....once the gearbox is in gear and clutch fully engaged there is no rattle.....

It hasnt got any worse at all in that time and has been in for a service, i just put it down to thats just how a DSG sounds/works..........

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....
