a click sound when you start the car??

Is it the ABS selftest>?

Ive never heard that noise in my Golf - so its not the 4motion system. And the video posted above of the Polo further reinforces that its not the 4motion.....as they are fwd of course.

Bluetooth?
DSG/Auto specific noise?

No DSG in a 2009 Tig. Was only available from MY 2011 onwards.

I certainly get a similar clicking noise like that when I quickly turn steering wheel from full lock one direction to the other.
Unfortunately due to the crappy tight design of the underground carpark in our apartment.

Either a steering rack or strut mount problem in my case, which fcuking stealers refuse to entertain.

But I assume the clicking noise at low speed (in the above cases) occurs when car is going in a straight line?

+1 For thinking it's ABS self test. My Calais and Astra used to do it but I can't say I've noticed it in the Passat...

I wouldnt be too concerned,everytime i bring a rattle/issue/noise up with the stealers i would get one of three responses.

1) characteristic of the car
2) diagnostic scan does not show any error code thus not our problem
3) user error.

All of which are a load of crap imo, and just VW's poor customer service. Unless its a safety issue, or a obvious performance related issue they are as useful as a suicidal counselor.

I couldn't agree more with you. They even have the balls to charge a fee just for looking at rattles or any sort of noise. I guess fixing rattles is not their top priority.

Our Polo does it and I think it is something to do with the fuel system Like maybe the auto choke (if it has one) Has always done it from new and I simply dont worry about it any more. Only does it when its cold coming out of the garage and doesnt do it again all day.

Ours doesnt sound like the video It is a click lick a solenoid pulling back and is just in front of the glovebox by the sound of it.

Passat doesnt do it.
