Do you have rattles in the car?

[Converted]

Mine always ticks away from the exhaust once it's warmed up - quite noisily at times actually. I wouldn't be concerned about it - normal expansion/contraction of exhaust components.

Not too worried about it at this point, don't think anything in thisarea will be falling off anytime soon
I do have the ticking as well which sounds like metal contracting due to temperature changes, this other trickling noise has a bit of vibration characteristic to it. Oh well, time will tell what this is

Yeah I sometimes get some of the persistent creaks on my drivers windows. Only happens during the day time especially when it is hot. Figured out that there isn't much I can do about the materials expanding under the heat.

It's still annoying for a new car, but good not to worry about the small stuff too much, or you'd go berzerk.

jrgti and G-rig, i think you may have misunderstood me, we were referring to the exhaust noises.

No worries, i'm taking about rattles and annoyances in general.

[jrgti]

Oh thats right, and that too. I have been revving my car hard of late to see if I have the same rattle but haven't heard anything yet. I've only done about 2500kms so it is still fairly new. Will report if I get the same problem.

I have a squeak moreso than a constant rattle that comes from the lower part of the front passenger door near the B pillar....well that's where it sounds like anyway, as I'm never a passenger I'm about to get Peninsula VW to look tomorrow at the service, but will be taking one of the service guys for a drive to recreate it, as the last time I told Barloworld, they didn't listen or drive with me, so it's my word against theirs.

It only ever really happens at low speeds, or going over speed humps, etc.

Hopefully it'll go, otherwise maybe some of the door seal lubricant mentioned previously might do the trick, but i'll ask.

A tip with people who have E Tag devices on their windscreens...they are known to rattle.

I removed mine,and keep it in the glove box.

I think I may have posted this earlier this thread, but my annoying rattle that sounded like it was coming from the passenger door turned out to be my sunglasses in the sunglass holder.

This is my first VW and it has introduced me to a new range of rattles, the original rattles in both the front doors disappeared after about 5,000k and is now replaced by the road and temperature dependent rattles. I get various rattles from the centre dash behind the radio, that vary in frequency and loudness. some start after the car has been sitting in the sun and then disappears after the car has cooled down, some of the louder interment rattles start after driving on the goat tracks, that pass for roads in inner city.

--- I have emptied door pockets, glove box etc,

--- and no I just can't be bothered going back to the dealer, no point

--- least I fixed the rattle above the passenger sun visor.

Are you able to expand on that one? What specifically was causing the rattle? What did you do to fix it?

The actual rattle (more like a loud vibrating noising, very annoying) seemed to be coming from between the top of the passenger side A-pillar and the roof lining.

While checking the front edge of the roof lining I accidentally snapped the passenger sun-visor up into the closed position and it made the rattling noise. I then pushed the roof lining up around the passenger side vanity light and felt the roof lining click back into position (it didn't appear to be sagging) and the rattle stopped.

Rattels and VW Warranty sux..

So i have two annoting rattles, one in driver side door/seatbelt compartment or rear drivers side. Also another one in the driving coloum area.
So i call barloworld and ask that it be addressed under warranty. They tell me that it can go two ways:

1)Faulty rattling part and labor covered under warranty

2)If rattle only needs lubing and tighting than cost is $130/hr and not covered under warranty.

He said it is a VW policy. What are your thought and opinions on this? I may as well just open the door up my self ?

[REXman]

**** I hate barloworld.

I have sung their hate before.. I'm sorry you had to deal with them.

Move onto another dealer to do your servicing and work.

So what exactly is the official VW policy with rattles and warranty ? Should they be addressed free of cost if the car is under VW warranty?
