Don’t know how you hear rattles when the sound system is so loud.

Helpful contribution

Mine is driving me nuts. They did the soundaktor ‘fix’ and still there. And now I have a new rattle that’s really loud from the passenger side door area.

Keen to hear what others have done too!

Did you try grabbing the passenger seat belt height adjust. Mine buzzes from time to time.

Can't help with the dash, mine will buzz hear and there when giving it a bit

Yep, tried that many times. Tried the passenger sun visor. Tried every single thing that’s been mentioned online (trawled the VWROC forum in the UK)......

Will get the dealer to try the knee airbag for the dash rattles. But the passenger side, it sounds like something loose and rattling around in the door compartment (but of course it’s empty).

Thanks though

Did anyone who had rattles in their dash end up finding out what the problem was or got it fixed?

VW are pretty sure it isn't the Soundaktor and I'm hesitant to let these guys rip open my dash trying to find the problem.

I had a rattle in the dash and the dealer said it was not the Soundakator. I used an OBDeleven to turn the Soundakator off and the rattle went away. Three days and no rattle, crossing fingers.

100km down and loving it more each time i drive it!!!

Nice colour. I’d love it with the black wheels. Next time for me.

Just got my OBD and cheap android phone, any recommendations?

I've thought about doing that with plasti dip. Then if I hate it just peel it off

I was going to go with black wheels when these tyres wear out, but the polished face is growing on me.

I did see an Indium Grey one go past me the other day with a set of these on (or similar) and it looked mad as.



Here they are on a blue one, but you get the idea.

I think they are one of those wheels that look good when clean, but I suspect they would show brake dust very quickly and be a bit of a PITA to clean.

I suspect you may be right.
