Edit: Also what is with the blurring of the number plates? Is it some legal thing about being called out on mods or paranoia about someone doing something with your number plate that is visible to every motorist on the road?

Probably more about just ensuring your forum identity can't be matched to your real identity, which hiding the number plates go a long way towards achieving, esp if VAG are reading the forums to check about people demanding warranty repairs for dubious reasons..

I get exactly the same rattle at low revs (I did suspect it was the soundakator). I've booked in to my VW service centre to have this and shuddering wipers looked at/fixed.

Hey Andrew7, let us know what they say.

Appreciate my sound could be soundakator, but mine sounds more like a loose wire to me (untrained ear).

When are you going in for fixing?

Bryan Byrt VW fall into receivership


Anyone else bought from Mt Gravatt or the other dealerships?

Are they still going to honour the sale? Office hours are over and I dont think anyone's there to pick up the phones anyway...

Waiting months and now this...

Unless it is done outside the normal receivership procedures, customers' deposits are unsecured creditors. Vw australia seems to have cancelled the franchise relationship and would cancel any orders they received fr bryan byrt (vw aust would not have received any money for the orders).

Last year my friend bought robins kitchen gift card, then it went into receivership. After a new owner took over, nome.of the existing gift cards were valid.

^ Topcat, cant get in to my local VW service until 23/12 Mine is a hard plasticy rattle at low revs and my very first thought without researching it was Soundakator. Will update in due course.

Great, so screwed out of a car and screwed out of my deposit.

Where may I direct my rage?

That's sounds like the plastic trim near the sound aktuator Andrew. I had the volume modified via vcds and the problems gone.

^ Thanks Kimba, I haven't adjusted the volume yet but have a mate nearby with a VCDS cable so that will be a good thing to action next week (along with a few other VCDS tweaks I have been wanting to do) BTW, what volume did you adjust down to (60% seems to be a common target)?
