New Polo problems - Register

Had the rattle under the front dash fixed (fuel lines) 2 months ago..........now its back....

Plus now there is a new noise, a light knock from the front suspension......it maybe the bushes as the car still handles/rides fine....and there is no sogginess in the suspension.....

Have also listened for CV joints clicking and its not them at all........

Can only hear it at walking pace and its not the DSG as the noise has happened while the car was in "N".......

Will mention these noises next service........

Hey Guys and Gals,

Just thought I would write up my Polo 6R's rattles before she goes into VW Classic Cars on Tuesday morning.

Metallic sounding rattle going up inclines (especially with windows down and going past parked cars)

Also a diesel noise when accelerating. Only just developed wasn't there when the car was new. Car now has approx 1000k's now.

Passenger seatbelt holder bangs into the side of the chair causing an annoying rattle when going over any slight bumps. Has anyone else got this issue? (Not an issue with a passenger seated and seatbelt fastened)

Drivers seat now squeaks when I am sitting in the chair. So when acceleration and breaking my chair makes an annoying squeak.

What you guys think?

Seat belt rattle....yeh me too. I fixed it with a bit of self adhesive felt just on the inside of the seatbelt buckle....the plastic bit.

I still have a cold morning passenger door handle rattle....at least that's as close as I can make out the sound is coming from. If I lean over and pull hard on the handle the noise goes away for a while...

Ok,

I took it to chatswood classic cars for a look. They took it for a day came back and they had fixed the seatbelt holder rattle. They said they tightened the heat shield to address the engine rattle. I called BS on this fix. I didn't fix anything!

As for everything else it remains. Squeaky drivers side chair, rattle when accelerating.

So expressed my unhappiness and they asked for me to bring it back. Which I did.

Another day in the shop, seats still squeaks, and the rattle is apparently the high pressure fuel pump and they all do it? I call BS.

It did not sound like this the day I bought it!!! What do I do.

Take it to another shop? Take it back to the same shop? I need to somehow take a ride in someone else's polo to see if it's all of them or just mine.

very annoyed!

When i run my car in sports or manual mode the sound doesn't come around, what the problem is with the TSI's is that the gears are in a rush to chew up all gears to 7...then when you want to drop down a few and apply down pressure you here a *rattle/grind sound* its the stupid dual gearbox and computer arguing over which gear you may need/want.

It should be a software fix as its not related to any hardware, with that said i have sent an email to VWA to address this with Germany to hopefully find a solution with a simple software update.
