Do you have rattles in the car?

[rs73]

is this still the case with mk6, or have they gone to mexico to make all the mk6 golfs?

Mk6 Golfs are all made in Germany with the exception of the wagon which are made in Mexico.

Yaaay! had a whole day without rattles! Could be coz the temp was a warm (by Canberra spring standards) 18C yesterday!

Thought I'd celebrate....until evening came, the temp went down, and the buzzes/rattles were back

I've tried many times to reduce the buzzing/rattling on the dash diffuser vent, following guides on various sites. Reduced, but still can't eliminate it.

Passenger seat also rattles in sympathy with road surface, as does the sunroof when tilted open

Passenger door area also buzzes on some road surfaces

all this in a car that's only done 23,000km.....

Hi guys i know this might be off topic, but thought id share it.
Just picked up my mk6 Gti today and have noticed i get this rattle/vibration sound in the car, is this a normal thing for the mk6 gti?
The vibration can be felt thru the clutch when starting from gear 1 but once car is in motion do not hear it anymore.
At first i thought the sound was coming on because i had the A/C on, but i turned the A/C off and the sound/vibration is still there.
It kind of sounds like a clutch buzz or something.
Could anyone share some info on this?
Ive searched the forum but cant see to find out what this might be.
Might have to go to the dealer and get this checked up.

Cheers.

I had a similar rattle/squeek, in 1st gear only when taking off. Turned out to be the lumbar support.

I also thought I had the annoying door rattle, it sounded like it was coming from the passenger's door. I found out today that it was actually my sunnies rattling around in the sunglass holder.

So is it a normal thing on a manual gti mk6 for the vibrations throughout the clutch when starting off in gear 1?
Can anyone clarify this?
Anyone else having this problem.

It's not normal, and you should be seeing your dealer about it.

+ 1, no vibrations through the clutch.

I think my rattle comes from the inside front-left door handle (i.e. the bit you pull to close the door). The one on my side is rock solid, but I get a lil movement and noise on the passenger one if I wriggle it. I'm guessing the bumps in the road cause the noise. It's still easily heard with the radio on.

Someone somewhere on here mentioned a ticking sound from the B-Pillar trim.

THANKS A LOT!

I did not hear it until I read your post

VW should give owners a lifetime supply of earplugs.

I know the old turn up the stereo to drown them out but that cuases even more

Even though mine is a MK5 I have:

Constant rattle in passenger door
Rattle under heavy bass in drivers door
Ticking B-pillar/s (not going to listen to passenger side)
Rattle from roof when sun visor is unclipped (this is a strange one)
Creaky door seals (krytox lube when I have time)

The car is only 13500km old!

Should keep the service department occupied for a while.

The only rattle I've in my GTI Mk VI is from my E-Tag.

After 5000kms i have found an intermittant ? rattle coming from higher up in the centre console but it seems to ocur at lower speeds (40-50) over local bumpy roads or when DSG changes up early. Any thoughts anyone?

No rattles for me. 138kms so far..

Sounds like my new Honda Accord Euro.

I cannot wait to get the new Jetta next year,I cannot stand a rattle trap.
