    What DP did you get? Did you get a tune as well?

    The tech noted the noise. It is going in and they said it will have to stay for 2 days. Will find out the date tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    ^ Interesting: just saw the thread on the other forum, instead of replacing the turbo they should be replacing the DP!

    Quick update. Car will be dropped off a dealer tomorrow morning for two days. They are loaning me a new Tiguan in the interim. I have made it clear I don't want the car back until the rattle is gone. It seems to have gotten slightly worse. The car feels/sounds like very cheap with rattle. If they can't rectify I will demand a replacement lol.

    Turbo has been replaced and I have been advised the rattle is a normal characteristic of the vehicle.

    Formal complaint has been lodged with VW. I won't allow them to **** me over. To be continued.

    Ah, that's a shame and not unexpected. I'd suggest DP replacement and tune (at VWA expense!)
