Not sure if anyone has experienced this....Bought a New MK5 GTi in Nov 08 in Liverpool...Noticed after a month or so that when you start the engine there is a growling hollow noise that is heard ....lasts for about +/-3seconds.
Its very annoying to say the least....Went back to the dealer...explained...but it was like i was telling a parable, mystery or something.....It looked like I was just creating a problem for myself.....I then insisted on having one of the service guys to listen to it....We heard it twice and but after a few more starts there was nothing....The service guy suspected that it might be related to the front speakers.....How?? I cant tell.......If it is,... does it mean all MK5 Gti pilots always switch of their car radios before they start their engines so as to avoid that unpleasant noise......
How can it be fixed...
Just wondering if you have a blutooth kit installed, that could be syncing to your phone??
Sifting through some of the mk5 thread's, I see a few problem's popping up that I've seen before & have fixed successfully & one of those I see is the mk5 radio's growling/crackling on start up.
Now I could say I was the first to successfully rectify this problem with an idea to retrofit part's from a completely different model, but seeing as I'm one of those crappy dealership mechanic's you all hate & don't believe (even though I worked at the fore front of motor car technology for 10+ years before starting with VW, which is still in front of VW technology by a absolute long shot & I'm a problem solver tech & not a oil, lube & brake boy), I think I'd rather keep the info to myself, than here I'm wrong from the people who have probably never even changed a tyre let alone a radio.
Happy mk fiving!

Maybe you haven't been doing that job for long (or are very unobservant or are in fact "perfect" ) if you have had ZERO problems and no unsatisfied customers (but you might currently be working with a slightly narrow definition of "customer")
