Problems So Far. '08 R32

Ok looks like the rattle was that plastic cover under the passanger seat that covers the Sirius box. Not made real well. Going to glue the tabs with some silicone. Seems to fix the problem!!!

The sirius box.....did that fix what you thought was the exhaust rattle? Mine seems to have that same exhaust issue only when driving and seems to happen less frequently after driving for a little bit.

i know for the tail lights i read a couple of months ago that vw had a recall to fix the problem. it was some issuing with the wiring that vw found out after i think a couple thousand incidents with burnt out taillights, happening repeatedly. it was going on in germany from the r32's down to the passats so ask your dealer about it.

It stopped what I thought was a door rattle. I still have the exhaust rattle in the rear-end of the car.

the fuel pump is normal when you open the door and you hear the fuel pump go off its telling you it works

hmmm i get the same rattle "tinny noise" from the exhaust too. but it goes away within 20 secs from when i first start the car.

The door and exhaust should be warranty items.

Door maybe. Exhaust is always like that.

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

Oddly enough, bulbs are covered under the warranty.

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!!!

Its priming the fuel lines to ensure you have correct pressure in the rail.
Vw's done this for many years =)

Only issue I've had was the windshield wiper, they just gave me a new one and problem solved.
