We all know Skodas are rattle free...

K1W1, with my luck if I put the tag in that compartment it would rattle

94,000km. No rattles in summer but I get a squeak in the dash for about 2 months in winter.

Good thread Brad, thanks mate. Hopefully won't need to use it, but good to know its here.

We have done nearly 30000k in 2 years and 10% has been on ho-hum dirt tracks so I'm pretty happy to report very few issues..

I have a few quiet rattles from the back over rough going, I'm pretty sure its just the cargo blind. But I honestly I don't expect anything less from rough roads and low profile tyres.

We have a squeak from the rear left passenger seat after we've lowered the seats and then put them back up. It is locked in, but requires someone to sit in the seat for it to stop squeaking - then its gone until the next time we lower/raise. I've thought about hitting the area with silicone spray, but need to remember to put the can in the car (it's always fixed on the road).

We've also had the LH dash squeak. It seems to come back every 6 months, I just give it a light spray of silicone around the bolts and its quiet again (lazy man's solution). It's probably not great for it but meh.

BluChris' thread, not mine.

122,000km also suprisingly few rattles. Cargo blind does on big bumps (im talking proper dirt roads) and the left rear seat was rattling too until i realised it was just that it wasnt actually being clicked back in properly.

Nothing from the dash ever.... maybe in '07 the workers were happier?

I have a "what a bastard" angle to go into my driveway, and all the door seals squeak when I enter/leave - but I havent been in any car that doesnt do that on my driveway (lifts the inside rear wheel aswell). The Skoda is by far the quietest car i've been in in terms of the entry to my driveway actually.

A mate has had a couple of beemers that are pretty much impossible to get up the drive they should use it as a chassis torsion test.

My Galaxy Tab vehicle mount rattles. As do the business card holders in the top centre compartment.
As well as the camping chair which sits permanently in the boot.
My most annoying rattle would have to be the spare tyre jack insert, when there's an 18" rim in there.

Left hand dash squeak for me (MY11 RS wagon). Started when the car was about 4-5 months old (now about 10 months old). A bit disappointing in a new car costing the best part of $50k!

I finally had a crack at fixing it a month or two back, by simply tightening the three Torx screws securing the dash to its mounts. This fixed the squeak for about two weeks before re-appearing, albeit not quite as loud and a bit more intermittent.

So had another go at it a couple of weeks ago, this time loosening the three Torx screws completely and giving the dash a couple of good thumps from different angles with the heel of my hand to "settle" it into place, before finally re-tightening the screws. So far, this seems to have done the trick. It does still creak a little over heavier bumps, but not the constant creak/rattle it had originally.

Sounds like I have been relatively lucky. After 2.5 years I have not had any rattles to be concerned about other than maybe the self-inflicted rattle from lots of bass in the sound system....

Maybe after I replace the stock Dunlop tires and get a 4-wheel alignment things might be different....
