Polo 77tsi Rattle - Fuel lines?

[SchuMi2]

Well went to the vw service department and as expected was given the good ol Australian vw service attitude. Apparently there is no fix at all for the polo...only for the golf and thus I would have to pay to get the parts fitted because it is not a official vw recall and I would have to book an appointment for them to check,if they don't hear it that do nothing...as expected. Soooo I went to the liberty of moving the pipes around myself and so far so good, until the morning anyway...

Strange lot those dealers. My dealer fixed the issue straight away...no questions asked...

I would have thought LHD and RHD were more or less the same under the bonnet, oh well Hope swapping the lines out still works for you

It's ok PoloDave, the link you posted was correct, it's the same side of the car as mine but as I said as the years go on for a production car, quality standards and revisions to the assembly of the car can see parts be put in better places (or worse) to help fix small problems like this.

I guess that in this case it doesn't matter what they change. The fact that unprotected pipes lie inside a metal rail means they will rattle when in the wrong position.

I have moved mine around a bit so I will see how they go in the morning.

Thanks for the help

Since swapping over the two lines this morning I have not had any more rattles (2 x ~20km trips) fingers crossed it stays that way.

I'm 90% sure it is the arconditioning lines. I had the same rattle and fixed it in 2 minutes.

In this link I described the solution on the dutch forum. Move the line from clamp A to B and it should be fixed. I never heard it again.

ratelende dash stationair -> OPLOSSING!

how on earth do you unclip the line? tried for half an hour, no luck!

[PoloDave]

best way is to tilt the fuel lines, some healthy force may ne nessessary as the clips are pretty firm. You can also use a screwdriver to make it a bit easier while tilting the fuel line

quite hard, but thats ok, I found cable ties to keep the tube in place works just as well without requiring the move.

I had the rattle AFTER i moved mine .. I moved it ages ago in preparation for the problem, but when it came up i moved it to the other clip, and it was fine, but ill cable tie mine also

Is there any other diagram for this- the one linked is no longer available.

the diagram for where they are and where to move it to?

Ill try and dig it up but mine still rattles.. I need to get in there and wrap the fuel line in some electrical tape or something so it sits snugly in the retainer...
