Annoying rattle now gone!!!
« on: February 17, 2009, 04:13:00 pm »
 :happy2: :happy2:

I had a rattle coming from the centre vent area.  I found this guide on the web.

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2945481



And stated to sort it out once and for all.  I had got to step 3 and started to remove the indicated screw.  I was using a magnetic torx bit holder, and started with the wrong bit, so pulled the bit back out...............

Imagine my surprise to find 2 bits on the magnetic holder, there was a T20 bit stuck to the outside.!!  So when the dealer sorted out my radio last year, he left a torx bit in the dash!

So one bit up, and no rattle = Happy! :happy2: :happy2:
