    Vibration from fuel line

    It's been a long time since I posted on here. I've had my 2017 162TSI R-Line for almost 2 years now with just about 35k on the clock. A few months ago I started to hear a vibrating noise coming from the engine bay, somewhere behind the dashboard. It would only happen around 2k RPM.

    The first time I took it to the dealer it was hardly doing it and they said that they could hear anything. So the next time it happened I recorded a video it and took it back to the dealer. I picked up the car rom the dealer today and they said they fixed it, apparently it was the fuel line so they replaced the clips to resolve the issue.

    10 minutes of driving and it's back again.

    Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    FWIW, the dealer said that vibration issues are only handled under warranty for the first 6 months. They did do this (failed) repair for free through. Not sure how I'll go with the follow up.

    I had this problem a few months ago, I thought it was the wastegate actuator as MK6 GTI had the same problem, heard about fuel line vibration etc, this all happened after I went stage 2...

    I could not find the problem and it seems to have now gone away or I dont notice it anymore with the radio or music playing or exhaust noise with DP.

    Do you have a sunroof? If so does the noise occur when its closed?

    It's certainly a lot better than what it was, but every now and then I can still hear it (although it's quieter now).

    I do have a sunroof, and it happens when it's closed. Also happens when the air con and radio are off.

    This is it (before the repair):

    Your noise is at idle, mine was while driving on load between 2000 and 3000rpm, never had a noise on idle.

    Mine is while driving too, not at idle. I can just sometimes reproduce it while stationary if I rev the engine to around 2000rpm. But at idle, it never happens.
