Key fob rattle on cold mornings

[Bucko68]

Has anyone else experienced something similar? It's where the key fob inserts into the ignition barrel. No rattles on hot days, but when it's a cold morning, the rattle is moderately loud and persistent until the car warms up. It's like the key fob is about to fall out of the ignition barrel even though it's not loose at all.

Lol, thats about one place mine does not. Mine has a shifting rattle early morning starts from adjascent the glove box or up close to the top air vent, although that has decreased since I did a climatronic vent cycle.

Yeah, my 130TDI had a rattle from around the key fob area. It's not the fob though. Grabbing the fob doesn't stop the rattle. Seems to be coming from behind the storage compartment near my right knee. If I push firmly on the panel it reduces the rattle. Never notice it when the engine is warm.
