I clipped a gutter with the back left yesterday in the car park, took the left turn too soon and got a bit of gutter rash. 3rd time I've done something stupid. Having a shocker. They are only minor but ****s me to tears.
How bad is your swipe?

Light Buzzing Sound From 7.5R Dash (throttle body?)
Getting a light buzzing sound (appears to be coming from driver's side dash/engine area) around 2,500rpm (constant buzzing whilst at 2,500rpm) on my 7.5R (stock). Buzzing sounds isn't soundaktor as happens on any driving mode (comfort, eco, normal and race), outside this rev range sound goes away. More noticeable when driving on quiet roads and car is in a low soundaktor setting (comfort, normal etc).
Car was in with local dealer today to investigate. Happens that an Australian VW rep was there at the time and they concluded this was a normal throttle body/flap sound and were willing to demonstrate a similar sound being present on another r line they have.
Any forum knowledge on this issue?

That’s not the knee airbag issue is it?

What's that?

Sounds like plastic fuel lines they go from engine room through tunnel and under drivers floor, easy fix at dealer had this in my 7.5 all fixed now particularly noticeable in S if DSG approaching round abouts as revs increase on gear change.

I found one of my buzzing sounds, not sure if it's the main culprit but it's the seat belt height adjust right near your ear. On rough roads it vibrates excessively. Just by putting my hand on it, it stops instantly. You can feel the play in the plastic adjuster. Most things are well out together on this car but that item just seems poorly manufactured.

I get a buzzing sound when I’m on the freeway and couldn’t pin point it. Thought it was the window seal or something. I then reached back to the belt positioning handle on the B pillar and held it for a bit, perhaps coincidence that it stopped.

That's the one, there may be other rattles buzzes but sound can travel around the cabin so it sounds like it's coming from spots it's not. I'm hoping this is the main culprit

Interesting.
Are you able to send me a zoomed out photo so I can get a better idea of fix? Any further instructions appreciated.
Mine's a very feint (but annoying) buzzing sound, not metallic, around 2400/2500 rpm disappears outside this rev range. Even then it's not always there, first thing in the morning it's not there but then appears after about 15/20 mins.
I drove another 7.5R at dealership who told me it was a "common" sound yet when I drove their R it had no such sound!
