Dealer Cannot find the rattle spot.I'm tired of rattels.

[pho1982]

I Have my car about a month ..
i was gonna get coilover and grab a new shoes for my ride.
and i was thinking that since there are lot of owners having rattle issues with their car and dealers will not fix the rattle if the car has suspension mod, i should get the rattles fixed before i get a new coil.
i have general rattles in my car.
*Driver seat squeaks(clicks) in sudden accelation.
*Passenger seat makes squeaky noise when their is no passenger specially on bumpy road.
*Somewhere in the rear seat area is make rattles too.
yea those rattle are general.. i knew it before i bought the GTI.
so i was thinking that since the rattle issues are already known, then dealer would fix it easily.
so finally i left my car at the dealer and told them the problem i have.
and they said they are going to check..
later the day i got call from them and they told me they were not able to get duplicate of my concerns.
so i went back to dealer to p/u the car and the car was not making any noise at all..
so i thought it was gone. and next day morning, the rattle came back to me..
the one thing that make me crazy is that it is not rattling always.
what should i do? i can't go to dealer anytime b/c of my work.
i have to get a hour off and take it to dealer..
i know that lots of owner has same problem but can any body tell
me where the exact rattle spot in the rear seat? so i can tell dealer to check that area.
i think i'm becoming a member of Rattle owners.. :frown:

is there a fix? all i found is the fix for the center vent and door panel.
what about the seat? and rear area?
or most of member just learned to live with it?

the worse rattle in mine comes from the dash vent, but when its cold, my sunroof cover rattles, but like i said, only in cold weather :iono:

My dealer was able to pinpoint and get rid of all my rattles. The only annoying sound I have now is the buzzing when the engine load is high (4-6k rpm). I think it's coming from the noise pipe.

so lets say i have my 5,000 check up tommorow

should i tell them to fix the rattles themselves...or make a list for them

 

[Snowborderz]

Make a list and go on the drive yourself with your service advisor. That's the best way to point out these rattles so she can show it to the techs.

and if they deny service, drive off a cliff with your service advisor
