Annoying noise from the rear

[spellbound]

I now have a rattly/creaky sound from the back , thought it was the parcel shelf or the floor of the boot , stripped it out and still there .

Only occurs on patchy roads and not all the time and its in all modes ie even comfort .

Starting to think it could be the suspension , would the colder weather induce suspension noises , anyone else had same problem , gets annoying when its normally such a smooth quiet drive , wont stop me loving my GOLF but .

I reckon it could be the rear seat striker. Hinge both your seats forward, wrap some electrical tape around the strikers and slam them shut. See if that helps.

I had that issue with my 2016 Golf GTI 40 years.

No problem! I think it's a Mk7 issue. It may be more obvious in cars with stiffer springs.

Guess you will be holding onto that R32 manual , the right combination , with a sound to die for , future classic .

I would agree with that as my 7R does this but only in Race Mode.
