Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[jase1972]

Yes Andrew7, before I got to VW, I had images of them having to pull the dash apart, which is never a good with with a brand new car.

Hi guys, has anyone had any luck with this noise? My Golf has started doing it to and it's driving me nuts. Only happens when I'm off the throttle and cruising down a hill or braking and it sounds like its coming from the door. Can anyone help? I've got the car booked in to be checked next week but am worried they won't find anything!!

My G7R makes the same noise and it's definitely exhaust drone. Perhaps someone on the forum can suggest a way of making the exhaust quieter without losing performance.

Hey jase, did the rattle you had in the dash sound like the one in the you tube video I found?

[jase1972]

aj555, yes it sounded like that at the low rpms. Have you sorted your issue out? I will take a picture of the cable I was talking about.

[jase1972]

See the clip on the holding the cable, this was loose.

Haven't sorted it out yet - it manifested itself a week or two after I took delivery of the car, now it comes and goes intermittently.It is the most annoying sound...
I was hoping it wouldn't involve the removal of the dash. Did the VW replace the clip?

[jase1972]

The clip was just clipped back. If you pull back the rubber seal there is a lip that the connector gets pushed onto.

I have this on my GTI. It's definitely different to Jase's. It feels like something rattling around in the dash or behind the instrument cluster. It's a slower rattle than the other ones described here and I only get it when coasting over anything other than the smoothest of bitumen. Let me know what you discover

Believe these have been seen before but I think they are probably the cheapest aesthetic change you can make to the Cadiz rims without replacing them.

Nice work Jonoz, where do you source them?
