I beleive it only takes about 5-10 minutes to fit.... but a good hour for the turbo to cool down.I wonder if they would just supply me the clip?
I cant be stuffed waiting an hour for something that realistically probably takes 10 minutes.
They would probably wait longer to do mine as well as i have a half hour run up the freeway to do before i get to the dealer
Fortunately my local dealer is only up the road from my work so it's not such a hassle.

Is this happening to MY12 as well?

I'm not sure if they fixed it in MY12. If you don't hear a rattling sound then you don't have a problem.
Usually happens under heavyish load at low revs.
I suspect it only happens/gets complained about on some vehicles so they just do the fix when people complain.

I had the rattle fixed on my My12 132 pacific.
I could hear mine on freeway, 2500 -3000 rpm mild throttle load.
Hard to notice when you have it, but so quiet once it's fixed.

Yes it is. Mine is a 2012 model and i have the rattle.
From about 2200 to 3000rpm you will hear it. It almost sounds like the turbo spoiling up in a really bad way lol

The fix quietens it down a lot but is more muted than fixed.
You may need to get your service advior to come for a test drive or they may just book it in for the fix.

My 155 (only 3 days old) has it. It's an MY13. You would think that if they have known about the problem for 2 years, then they would address it. Oh well, I'll try and get them to address it on the 1000km checkup.

As above, girlfriends brand new 132 has it. My 4 month old GTI has the same issue (now fixed though). Poor effort they haven't fixed it from the factory.
