Tiguan making a weird hissing noise. Is any body else’s doing this.

I had a buzzing in the engine bay when accelerating. They added some clips to the fuel line to fix.

So vw parramatta had the Tig for a week. They agreed that there was a noise. They stripped the turbo. Nothing apparently. But than they told me it was a rubber grommet on the gear box. So I investigated and had a look under the dash to find what a ugly mess. Can any body with a vw wolf check under the driver dash and see if it looks like this. I don’t think it’s meant to look like that it honestly looks like they have hacked and cut away the sound deadening but I won’t complain till I’m sure. Thanks guys. .

Here's a shot of mine (MY18 162TSI Highline). It looks like it is perforated for installation of a clutch pedal on a manual gearbox.
It looks like they have ripped it off and tossed it away.

Edit: I'm struggling to upload a picture... standby.

Yes looks like you’re missing a big chunk of carpet:

Maybe you didn't have the rubber grommet, and you were actually hearing engine noise. They've put the grommet in, but not the carpet?

There's no good reason to toss it away. Even when you pull it out it's still got holes in it to slip over the threaded screws you can see which will keep it in place. I'd be asking them to replace it.. or at least give you some free touch-up paint.
