Golf R 7.5 built Aug. 2018.


Three days ago my wife and I noticed a low volume rapid ticking sound when in Active Cruise mode when the car brakes came on to slow it behind a car ahead which is being tracked. It is most noticeable just as the car is coming to rest, then stops. A service department booker-innerer said "all Golf Rs and GTI's do it" but I am pretty certain it has only just started and my wife had not noticed it before . We do not notice it until we have gone about 5 km.


The sound seems to come from the cabin console according to my wife, or to me, from the steering column.


As it is associated with braking I am concerned but if it is indeed normal we could easily live with it.


These cars make lots of whirring noises from time to time is off, and not just the fans cooling..
