Golf R Metallic Ringing Noise

I know the DP replacement has been mooted as a fix but to me the sound is coming from the engine bay not from underneath the car. I'm toying with the idea of taping a cheap voice recorder somewhere in the engine bay to see if I can get a better recording of the sound.

Golf R Metallic Ringing Noise
Don't know if it's related, but my MY15 103TSI has a metallic noise (sounds like someone playing a cymbal really fast) that's most audible whenever the wastegate is open. Ie. On boost, backing off and downshifting. The symptoms are consistent with the original post, with exception to the rpm range.
The dealer mechanics said this is not the same issue as MY13 models that needed a clip fitted as newer model actuator arms are welded to stop rattle.
The result is they have ordered a new actuator arm to see if it fixes the issue. Failing that, replace wastegate...
Noise comes in from driver side footwell, and resonates in the car if windows are up around 3-4K rev.

DP fixed my noise. The area that allows the pipe to flex is surrounded by a mesh, giving an effect like a Cabasa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabasa

(and by the way I can confirm its not normal for the MK7 R to have this metallic noise as I've had 2 before that didn't have it! (don't ask :0)

Attached is a video of the Golf R Revo 3" DP installation, a lot more work that I thought it would be, but technically not to difficult if you have access to a lift.
The video gives a good look into what is in and around the DP. When he's taking the stock DP out, you can hear the flex joint making a familiar noise when he's twisting and tugging to take it out.
The metallic ringing is ruining the driving experience. I've had to turn the damn Sound Actuator back on to mask the noise a bit.
Whenever they release a decent update for the screen I'm going to take it in and show them the noise and ask them to make a report for VW HQ. As had been previously stated, the more reports there are the more likely something will be done.
In the mean time I will continue to be heavily tempted by the REVO DP.

I went with a CTS, because Revo was $1000 more! Paid $480 for the labour. I already had Revo Stage 1, so the upgrade to Stage 2 is only $69. If VW ask about the Dumpipe if I claim warranty, I can say it was because of the annoying noise they wouldn't fix... right? (/sarc)

(I'm seriously considering going stage 2 as its either fix the rattle problem or sell the R! The CTS DP looks the best value too)

Had my actuator arm replaced by the dealership on Saturday. Monitored on Saturday and This morning. The worst of the problem appears to have been resolved. I could take it up to 3-4k and change up, and just hear the gear change, no more annoying rattle.
There is still some rattle at slow speed, but sounds more like it's actually coming from the wastegate itself. The weather has been cooler, so I will continue to monitor and make sure the fix is not temperature dependant.
Will report back again after a week or so.Golf MK7 103TSI Highline Wagon | Limestone Grey | DAP2

^ Oh that's good news AT, which dealer did you use? Would you also mind sharing the report/paperwork from the dealer, as this will assist those of us with R's to request a similar fix (I haven't heard this is a fix applied to our R's thus far)Last edited by andrew7; 04-04-2016, 11:40 AM.
