Oh thanks!

Just popped into Chatswood Classic for test drive with the technician. And he double checked the lines and they are ok. Rattle from something else. So booked in for another day.

As for the dash lighting. It seems that the setting for 11.5 are different and are set to off. They can't work out how to get them on. So no joy there.

On the positive, scored a set of new number plate covers.

The car went back for the sequel. After 1 day, I got it back .... with the rattle in tact. It seems they could not locate it in the engine bay so it would need to go back for at least 2 days!! Yup at least. They think it is behind the dash so the idea is to remove the dash and locate the rattle. This is by far my biggest fear of any car ownership.

So, should I take it back to CCC or try somewhere else first? Thoughts please.

Try another dealership, if you believe you are not getting anywhere with them.

Make it known to the alternative dealership, that you're giving them a go at it. Rattles can be time-consuming to resolve.

My biggest fear too. My rattle IS behind the dash, and the thought of it being removed to find the rattle then put back without creating more issues is stopping me from leaving it with them. Mine seems worse in very cold mornings, so I am praying for an early spring and just turn the stereo on. Hmm.

Mccarrolls Waitara, speak to Sharron, Ben or Steve and tell them what your experiencing they may/may not have an answer for you.

The only so called "Rattle" i get is if the DSG has gone to 7th gear and i put my foot down light, its the DSG finding the right gear for the application of my foot.

The other rattle i know of is the fuel line/ac line that was fixed in march when VW made a bracket system which is covered by warranty.

Hope you get this sorted soon mate

It would appear that you have the same issue as I have. Mine amps up in the cold too. Which dealerships have you gone to?

Noticed the sunroof rattle for the first time today. Was driving along a bumpy concrete road with the roof closed and I'm pretty sure it was the wind deflector making the noise. It wasn't very loud and it wasn't a constant rattle, just every now and then. I drove back along it with the sunroof open and there was no rattle. My Astra had an awful rattle from somewhere in the dashboard and the sunroof rattle is very quiet compared to it...so it doesn't really bother me.

I'm here in Canberra. Could not get the first dealer (Gerald Slaven) to even reply to my emails. Have had positive experience with Lennock Motors in a basic service, so will take the car back to them. They were good and came out in the car with me to listen for a noise - but of course the car was warm - so no noise. Will need to leave it overnight with them...

what RPM / speed does your noise show it's head at ?

Mine occurs between 1,500 and 2,000 which is characteristic of the fuel/air/brake lines. I am a little suspecious now thinking about it as the rattle was not as bad before the so called fix. I am wondering if while doing the fix, they undid a bracket somewhere (may be inside the dash). Hmmmm

My 77TSi is going back to the dealership on Wednesday to hopefully sort out the horrendous rattle at idle that has returned after the fuel line bracket fix was done in May. Had some smart alec say to me the other day, "What's wrong with your diesel?". Grrr...
