Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      Just had this issue fixed under warranty, no questions asked. Interestingly I told the dealer what I thought it was based on researching on this forum!!
      Clip fitted and a huge improvement. Annoying rattle present under most accelerations has now disappeared.

        Any chance you could please explain this a little more? Where exactly was the rattle coming from? and was it more of a clunk than a rattle as such? I've got a clunk when I accelerate more so in 1st and 2nd and it's also now appearing when I compression decelerate also. Just wondering if mine is the wastegate rattle. My clunk seems to be coming from somewhere between the gearbox and engine bay?

          if it's a clunk, it's definitely not the wastegate rattle. The rattle is a subtle rattle between 2/3krpm, and trust me you can't miss that

          hope you get this sorted out mate, and that the clunk will leave you alone

            Cheers, thanks. My clunk is almost a knock sound. Like something is knocking on something else? Anyway, getting it looked at next week.

              What speed fighter said. The waste gate rattle is exactly as he described. Particularly between 2-4,000 rpm. Wasn't that subtle with my example.
              You're dealing with something else by the sound of it.... But I come to the forum to get knowledge as I'm not really qualified to give it...
              Cheers

                  Have a rattle on my 2010 vRS. Tried for a fix with Trivett parramatta but to hard. Usually have music up load so don't notice. Hope you get a result.

                    Mine was fixed there recently.

                    Not too hard at all.

                    Yours is out of warranty, so you'll need to pay for it, but it's a worthwhile fix.

                      Currently mine is getting a new head etc due to broken valve spring. I wonder if they'll do the waste gate too. Got to be worth asking!
