-Sounds like something is loose in the passenger door...still not fixed.

-Exhuast has a metal-rattle tinny noise coming from it

-Right rear rotor is scarred

-Some cosmetic stuff on the paint-door

-Already had two reverse lights burn out

All within 1000 miles. Anyone else? Any solutions?

:help:

It's a lemon...Paypal me $20 and I'll come pick it up for you. :p

The door and exhaust should be warranty items.

The bulbs...try buying good bulbs...Sylvania's or such.

For the other two...well...they don't sound like VW's fault.

Mine does this when the car is cold. Seems to disappear after driving for 15-20 mins.



Yea...mine too...and my exhaust shield has rubbed against my shifter causing a squeak but is fixed. But I LOVE THIS CAR!:happyanim:

guys ,, i just picked mine up literally 45mins ago ,, and when i did.... take a look at your B-pillar door frame piece ,, you'll see that its a black aluminum piece that is pinch fit onto the door. now,, take it and shit it toward you and away from you ,, you will see that the fit is less than perfect. i would bet thats the rattle you are hearing.

i'm sure some will some won't ,,, but i'm also assuming that yours doesn't rattle as well? ... and when i say "move".. its literally less that 1mm. but none the less ,, enough to vibrate. :D

cheers...

What is that noise when I open the drivers door? It sounds like the fuel pump turning on. But when I turn the key to "on", I hear the fuel pump again..but it sounds different.

In the morning when it's cold, the fuel pump makes a nice load SCREEEECCCCHHH for like a minute. Kind of embarrassing!!!
