Reply With QuoteIs it a grinding, rattling, crunching kind of noise? Mine had the same kind of symptoms as yours. If so, could be your water pump going.

Hey Guys,So my 2013 Polo's only done around 13000kms. I realised a few things odd with the car:1)When I drive over speedbumps, I head extremely off-putting rattling, clinching sounds from the engine bay and around the front suspension area2)The same sound is reproduced when the car is driving at low rpm, and shifting to N won't get rid of it3)The same sound is again reproduced when I am slowing down to come to a stop.Now, this wasn't bought from a official VW dealer but I still have the statutory warranty on it. Im afraid that once I take it in, the guy would probably take it to one of his "well known" technicians and get away with the problem.Any ideas?***** EDIT: ITS NOT FROM THE SUSPENSION, BUT RATHER FROM WHERE THE ENGINE IS LOCATED AND A BIT LOW DOWN THERE

Yes it is, but i get it during gear shifts, slowing down, going over speedbumps.
On top of that, the engine's started to make a cicada/cricket like sound when pressing on the accelerator

Check the fuel pipes arent rattling there was a fix where they either shifted them across one of the clips or as in mine sprayed foam around them

My 6c makes the same rattle when accelerating in 1st and 2nd gear at around 2-2500. Very annoying! Will take it for a service soon anyway and will get them to sus it, good to know it could be fuel lines, a lot of forums online make note of this common issue.

I think it may have been mentioned before, I've always thought that noise was something in the DSG clutch mechanism.
Mine has made that noise since gearbox was replaced 30k ago.
I think the general response from the service centre is that it is 'normal' for your car to sound like it has a clutch plate loose that rattles around over bumps and during low speed gear changes between 2nd-3rd.
