Today, the car started rattling around the muffler. It happens when I make some turns, brake, or close the hatch (so I think something's loose). I'm taking it to the dealer monday and hoping it shall be all good.

If they don't find another dealer. Hope its nothing serious. So far mine is dead quiet unless I open the sunroof; If I hit a substantial bump in the road it makes a faint noise.

Most likely the muffler has worked it's way out one of the hangers, should be a quick fix.

I see you put "RIP" after your Cabrio. You didn't give up on her did you?

Had to, two VW experts said it was way beyond repair. My dad's picking up a 92 MK II Cabrio with power steering and windows. Beautiful condition too! I also have my GTI.

I have a tapping sound that is coming from the rear passanger side when i am at a stop. It is very strange because it does not happen all the time. i wonder if it might be the same thing? Any ideas?
