Have you done a factory reset via the menu?

I have recently noticed that my Polo GTi is making a noise similar to cooking popcorn while driving. The noise seems to be coming from the doors, or the door seals? It is getting starting to get to me.

Anyone experiencing this?

The initial seal lubricant has worn off. Buy some gummi pfledge from car care products and she will be quiet once again

I can vouch for this gummi stuff. I only had one minor issue with my new Polo - a sound was coming from the driver's door near the B pillar - especially at low speed when going over bumps where there were minor lateral g-forces (i.e bumpy roundabouts, etc). Bought a bottle of the gummi stuff and did the rubber and the felt. Door has been completely silent ever since.

Hi Gavs,

im just wondering if your mechatronics unit has been replaced as yet? if so how is the car running since? unfortunately mine needs replacement too! what triggered me to get it checked was the car got stuck in second gear and second gear only.

Ouch. Keep us posted! Burwin not coming to the party? Or not their decision?

Not their call mate, more than willing to help but not to put themselves out of pocket.

Has anyone else experienced this or have a fix? I have read through and haven't found anything. Sounds a bit like a grinding, at first I though injectors but I'm not sure. Especially occurs at lowish rpm perhaps up to 1750rpm.

I also get a rattle when I sharply rev the throttle in neutral parked past say 2000rpm but then suddenly goes away after about 2 sec, no matter what rpm I rev it to. If I progressively build the revs I don't get the rattle. Seems odd. Any thoughts??
