    Wow Allegiance, you got a really good result from somone who was willing to spend the time to locate the rattles. I've found that rattles are definately something dealers try to fob off as just being 'normal'.

    In a way I don't blame the individual, trying to find / fix a noise can be very tedious.

    good to hear you got the rattle fixed looked like the dealer had a good attempt at trying to fix the problem and got to the air con pipes in the end the fuel pipe and other pipe work that you didn't know about was just a write up to gain more time for warranty the rattle never went till the air con pipes were adjusted happy driving.

    Thanks for your help with the air con pipe suggestion!

    Had a similar issue as some others but not exactly the same.

    After a couple of weeks, started getting a louder than expected vibration from the engine after coming to a halt, most prominantly after the car had warmed up and my foot was on the brake.

    Took it to a VW dealer along with Allegiance's invoice description and they did as follows: Used foam/sponge to create a damper around the fuel lines in the chassis rail.

    It has improved now, although I'm still trying to work out if I'm definitely satisfied with the outcome.

    Interestingly, the dealer's demo Polo had the typical rattle that they'd been unable to fix thus far.

    Well polo we just bought will be going back to the dealer shortly, climate control fan is making a horrible annoying noise and there's a rattle that has gotten a lot louder as more milage is put on the car. Overall pretty happy with the car and can't wait for my Golf R but little dissapointed with some of these issues that you don't expect on a brand new car.

    Honestly this could possibly boil down to the fact they have chosen to build the polo in South Africa, nothing but Quality control problems, if this was built in Germany/Europe it would be a different story.

    You have to wonder why the MkVI Golf is now being made in Germany rather than S.A, and why BMW ceased all its coupe model builds in S.A in 2005.

    Just a little update, fan has stopped making that annoying noise now, bunch of paint brush looking bristles blew out of the air vent onto my white shirt guess that's one positive!

    Rattle however has gotten much worse, to the point you can hear it with the windows up and radio on. Sent an email to the dealership and will be following that up with a phone call shortly given the lack of response so far.

    I have noticed the DSG to be quite rough at times. Especially changing from 1st to 2nd. Anyone had this issue?
