Yeah the issue appeared after a couple hundred k's in mine. It was very noticeable, put your windows down and it sounds like a dead catalytic converter rattle.Comment

VW 118TSI MK6 Rattle FIX
Hi Guys,
I finally got my rattle fixed. It had nothing to do with the actuator rod but more from loose transmission cabling and brackets. When these were resolved, no more rattle. I know most of the GTIs rattle are due to the actuator rod, the same rattle in the TSI, for me, was from loose cabling and brackets. Just and FYI for any 118TSI owners experiencing the rattle.PROJECT DARK KNIGHT MK6 118TSIComment

In the long run will the clip cause any harm to the engine?Comment

can't see how... it attaches to the turbo's waste gate actuator arm at the "pivot" end. Ignore the previous person's post if that's why you're asking - they don't even have a GTI or a K03 turbo...Comment

there may be hope after all - skoda uk are starting to fix this rattle for the octavia rs.
looks like they've issued their own TPI though - 2028098/1.
i'm yet to confirm this, nor seen the techincal bulletin details.
if it is the case, then skoda aus will have to approve the fix under warranty.
is there a website that provides information for vwag issued technical bulletins?MY17 Superb 162TSI, Business Grey, Tech+Comfort Pack, APR ECU+TCU Stg 1, SLA, Rieger Splitter + Side Skirts, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, Hardrace Swaybar, TPMS

I had mine done today, and after driving it out I can't believe that I convinced myself that the rattle gave the car "character".
The rattle is completely gone, and now I realise what I was missing out on in terms of engine noise. The car sounds really sweet now.--------------------------

I phoned up to book by GTI in for it's first 15k service (Norris VW Kedron), and when she asked if there was any other issues I wanted them to look at I said yes I do, it's a pretty well known issue though, and she interrupted me and said "is it an engine rattle?" to which I said yes. She said as soon as I said "well known" she knew what it would be, and said they should have some clips in stock and can fix it while it's being serviced. Let's hope they have some clips there! Getting it done on Wednesday 4th Jan. Will report back when it's done!Comment

Without reading through all 108 pages, can anyone confirm that this also effects the Golf R's? I've got a rattle which seems to match the OP's description, I only hear the rattle above 6000 rpm. I've had the car just on 6 months and I've only noticed it in the last couple of weeks.
Cheers!Last edited by Boldy; 05-01-2012, 08:45 PM.Comment

Anyone got the fix done at Kloster Newcastle? I rang the service department up and he said the rattle is normal. I am emailing the service department now with all the info from this thread, even all the dealers fitting the fix.
Let u know how I go.Comment
