I think I might have this sorted from what i can see on this thread http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18277&page=2

I am going give it a go this weekend to see if it stops it, sounds like a common problem with the plastic fuel lines vibrating, which sound like its coming from the dash.

If the noise stops when you press the accelerator slighlty it should be the fuel lines.


DOYLEBROS - thanks for the tip.

There is a better how to on this site somewhere - there is a TSB from VW on it I've read as well.

Hope it work out for you!

I have done this little number on my motor and it seems to have sorted my ticking noise problem after a run up to temperature.


Packed it full of packing foam, which was really handy! As it came with small squares cut into it so all I had to do was tear off the right sizes 


Also found two other possible rattles as pictured, these two screws were on either side of the dash and easy to get to, they were pretty much fully loose so that's annoying..




the screws are in the same place on both sides.



Taken with my potato, please excuse quality.

Been noticing this noise lately in my eddy too... did you manage to find out and sort out the rattly noise in the end skriller? I've looked like a right idiot sticking my head in the footwells and around the engine bay to try and even find out where its coming from haha! sounds like a metal-y rattle when i listened under the bonnet... :S

[skriller]

When I was listening out for mine, I couldn't hear it from the engine bay..

I could only hear it from in the cabin and it sounded like it was behind the dash or steering wheel.

It was definitely the fuel lines rattling under the car, once I packed them out it was gone.

Yea mine sounds like its behind the dash, kinda to the right hand side. I'll give this a go when I have time, gotta be worth a shot! Thanks!

Funny found the same problem last week, how did you fill them, I used tape... Wonder is there a rubber grommet missing?

Beginning to think mine might not be the fuel lines judging by the sound I can hear from within the engine bay. I've got a video (hope it works....). Dont know if the guy's who have solved their rattles had anything similar or if not is it what some people have mentioned regarding the cam belt or whatnot within the engine itself???
