That's not acceptable... if you think it's noisy, ask them to compare it with another one, say a new one on the sales yard, WHILST you're there. Being asked to monitor it and wait for it to break down is a load of crap. If service advisors told customers that at my dealership, they would be roasted!

They've done all that and couldn't find a fault. Funny thing is that noise is there only when you open it first time after a car has been sitting for period of time but not after that. Pity you are not in charge at my dealership

back to my original post.
rattle at rear right hand door was a speaker
tighten screws on center console.
noise from the rear is that plastic thing what should we call it
and red LED light- apparently module needs replacing ( of what kind I don't know) and it is getting ordered from east
Still monitoring drivers side window

Information just came through to dealerships regarding the red LED on the door staying on 'and' starting issues on BKD engined Golf's and Jetta's with certain PCM's.

So take your vehicle to your dealer and in the friendly and approachable manner that you always approach your dealer in (basically, the way you would expect to be treated in your line of work from day to day) 'ask' them about peforming the software updates to rectify your issue 'if' it meats the criteria (not all BKD engined Golf's or Jettas have the same PCM).

Does anyone have an issue with their driver's door not closing properly and that it looks like it has been dropped? Basically the front door overlaps with the back door because it is slightly dropped and the only time it slides into place is when it is slammed hard. It catches the latch and as it's catching it, it lifts the door and closes properly.

I'm taking it to get checked out, but just wanted to know if it is common.

See attached photos.

I went out for a quick drive around this afternoon and have noticed this tractor like noise coming from engine bay area. It lasted about 10 seconds before it disappeared and it was consistent regardless of whether the aircon was on - it was always there as I was slowing down and slowly accelerating, and even at stand still at the lights. The noise was more prominent from inside the car and could not first identify it when I tried to hear it from outside the car. The car felt like it lost a bit of power too. Standing in front of the engine bay with the engine running, the noise seemed to be coming from left hand side of the engine where I saw a black belt. Does anyone have any idea what this noise might be? The car has had a 45k service only recently. I had this very similar noise in my old car before where the oil and filter changes were well over due and the noise was gone after servicing.

thank you for that update. I will give them a ring next week to find out when they expect module to arrive and ask them about software update
