I have recently been getting a few rattles in the dash and so i decided to investigate last night. I found these two screws completley loose and ratteling. Others may be the same so go and check it only takes 30 seconds to have a look,

to remove the panel, slot your key in the hole at the bottom. :happy2:
HTH :smiley:

its worth checking anyways! :happy2:

sorry to jump on your thread mate
- but I have a rattle in my MKV it's coming from the rear passenger side corner of the boot... it sounds like it's the parcel shelf rattling... but I have tested this by removing the parcel shelf and I still get the rattle.. any ideas what can rattle at that end of the car?! :smiley:
-
Sorry for being stupid - but which panel are we referring to??
I also have a little rattle somewhere in the centre console - I think its the inder the tray with the bottle opener or somet, since it seems to go when I put some pressure, or somet heavy, in the tray...

Could be the rear seat catch! Try folding the rear seats down and see if the noise disappears.

also could be the rear seat belt on the plastic, try plugging them in and have a go.

The one that covers the fuse box, and then the same on the other side. :happy2:

Nice one young sir! Did it cure your rattle? :laugh:
I'll check those on mine tomorrow! :happy2:
-
When I changed my MFD2 to my RNS510 I found 2 bolts behind the nav unit that where loose they held an angled brace across the back of the nav unit together, Quite significant I would say stopped afew of the rattles I was getting.

I took the cover off my fuse box and the passenger side today and both the screws were loose/rattling round so i tightened them up, nice one joe :happy2:

Any ideas on a rattling sunroof - only happens when I have it on tilt?

Both my screws were loose, causing a slight rattle too. Quick 5 second fix for an annoying noise.

Two screws, where? And does VW have a problem tightening screws?

The 2 screws mentioned above. :signLOL:

seems that theres quite a few then, anybody else tried yet? anybody checked and they were tight?

Yes... Mine is a very early one and rumour has it they were slightly better put together. 40k miles and no rattles!

mines an 05 with 45k,
did you check? :smiley:

Ha ha yes... but not on the back of this post, I did check a couple of months ago when I saw a similar heads up :booty:
Luck of the draw, maybe the night shift bolt tighteners were more attentive than the day shift ones :grin:
-
I love a tight screw......... :party:
Oh wait..... You meant......
:pomppomp:
Taxi!
-
No rattles on mine, or perhaps my Baby Rattle which i love to throw from time to time :innocent:
-
Whilst keeping an attentive ear out for odd noises last night (see below thread on cornering noise) I noticed there was an odd rattle from behind the dash, remembering this issue (and being so smug my screws weren't loose) checked them this morning and found the passenger side one was really loose and took a few turns to tighten. Drivers side was a little loose but not enough to make a noise.
Good job Joe :congrats:
Oh, and mine's just hit 45k so maybe thats the screw tightness expectancy :signLOL:

Thats exactly where my rattle is coming from! :happy2: If I hold the top of the stereo it dissappears. :confused:
-
Noises coming from the central console are a pain in the ass to remove. First of all the plastic frame could have been of better quality. Second, the screws behind the frame may come loose after a while (noises are of course amplified while on aftermarket stiff coilovers). A noise that drives me crazy comes from rubbing of the leather from the side of the seats and the plastic center console/armrest. I think I will have to put Some Alcantara there to get rid of it !

Apart from the obvious stuff like something rattling in the spare wheel compartment or the CD cases in the CD changer compartment if you have one back there in addition to the parcel shelf, have you tried the grill that covers the speaker in the rear door? I had this although it was more of a buzzing noise at certain road vibrations and the noise seemed to 'transmit' further back making me think it was the boot area.
-
Few areas to check at the back, firstly the rubber 'balls' at the bottom of the parcel shelf can batter against the boot trim when going over bumps etc.
Could be the rear seat back, fold it down then slam it shut. If that doesn't work, wrap some tape around the securing lugs then close it again. Takes up just enough play to stop any rattles - has worked for others.

you OK? :confused: :signLOL:

driver side or pass?
check it out tom :scared:

Regarding to "parcel shelv" rattleing, I had the same problem, it had the mechanics baffled. In the end it was a loose break light lol, give that a check :happy2:
(sorry if an answer has already been posted)
-
I'd like to check the screws in the sunroof and centre console...but need photos so I know where to look. Thanks in advance.
P.S. If I'm getting a rattle from the door, where's the best place to start looking?
-
I just checked these screws in my car and they were both loose. My car is a December 2005 model with 40k on the clock. I also have a rattle coming from behind the stereo so will investigate that further next time I pull the stereo out as I suspect there some other loose screws behind there. If I find them I'll take some photos!
-
Checked mine on Sunday passenger side was almost falling out, drivers side was fine. I have an 05 reg.
Thanks for heads up on this :happy2:
-
Sept 05 reg. (55) my06, 43k miles. No rattles but loose on both sides. Many thanks for the heads up. :-)
-
hi guy's new to site but must say it's cracking !!! had a small rattle on my 06 plate 3dr gti from the off side front dash area and hey ho the screws were slack. tightened them up and rattle is gone nice one.... :smiley:
-
:congrats: found the loose screws nipped them up rattles now gone on my 06 gti.
top tip cheers . :notworthy:
-

Mine were loose. Makes you wonder how many less accessible screws are loose too :sad1:
-
Will check this thanks, also get a high pitched rattle and found it's actually the button on the handbrake lol anyone else? Also get one on the passangers seat when in a certain position?

does it almost sound like a ping pong ball rattling about??

ish, almost like there is a load of small plastic things rattling around, it proper gets on my tits
-
My first post was meant to be my newbie saying hello post but I was hanging fire until I got some photos to accompany that one but just caught this thread!
I had a rattle in the back of my '57 Golf GTi which I thought was either one of the folding back seats not pushed back up properly or the parcel shelf rattling. Turned out to be the two seat belt buckles on the back seat knocking together. Have shoved a bit of rag in between them to shut the rattle up but need to find a tidier solution I reckon!
I've also got a rattle coming from behind the dash so will be checking them there screws tomorrow.
-
ill be lookin at myn in the morning cheers....top tip :notworthy:
-
do you not have a mk6?? ^
-
no joe mk5 ed30...the car in the sigi was the most like myn ..Checked myn today both sides loose
-
Good tip m8 will have a look to see if mine are loose. :happy2:
-
my ed30 has really loud rattle noise coming from the central air ventilation panel. The noise disappears when putting pressure on by my hand. But I can drive like that forever....anyone has a good idea to fix this rattle. cheers
-
Velcro tape!!!! Take out the central vent and line the edges with strips of Velcro tape (sell in halfords)
worked for me, not a rattle since!!
-
Thanks Hibs, will give it a try!!!

No dramas mate.

I know this is a very old post, but I thought I would quote it anyway!! :smiley:
I had a similar rattle which was a complete mare to find. Having stuck my wife in the car behind the rear seats ( :innocent:) we found that the noise was coming from the very nearside of the tailgate. After much searching for something loose I took out the lens which is on the tailgate and discovered that the internal part of the lens was loose. It wasn't very easy to relocate it as it is a sealed unit, but I did manage and the rattle is now gone.
A rattle I had at the front turned out to be the plastic trim under the dash just above the pedals.Ireseated it correctly and now the car is all quiet again. :jumpmove:

....Not necessarily - Besides being free to mingle, some wifeys/gf's like to keep a tight rein on the purse strings and this has been known to restrict what you can spend on your car.
I was married (20 years) but really enjoy the albeit selfish freedoms of being single again.
Given the choice between wining and dining a hot lady versus putting the money into saving for my next trackday, which would I choose? Yeah, you got it in one! The trackday.

I used the above. I purchased some dash removal tools from the bay toavoid scratching and somefelt tape. It is fairly straight forward and if I can do it I would expect anyone can!

That link don't work dude!
-
Damn it! Standby will find it again.
-
Cant find it. All the saved posts I have link to that thread. Gently pull the vent up then there are two screws to undo before you can pull up the next section.There is then another screw and you need to pull it straight upwards towards the windscreen. You shouldn't need todisconnect either of the wires as there is enough to rest both itemson top of the dash.
Next up is to line everywhere possible with felt tape!

ok ill have alook tomo-i got the top peice off and the second layer but didnt see the screws excpet of these

and ill get some felt tape-anyone know where to go shopping for that tomo?
bloody cheek i know. its driving me mad lol
fanx buddy

That bit needs wedging with something or several bits of felt tape. There are two screw on a beam behind the HU. You need to prize of the front of the dash and undo the 8 screws and remove the HU. Then tighten them up. As suggested by others if you have time put felt taper wherever parts meet and it will help.
Whereabouts are you?

checked mine a couple of weeks ago and both were loose, thanks for the tip. My interior now has zero rattles :drinking:

good stuff guys!! now those who havnt....go check your nuts!! :chicken:

^ Saint Steve on his never-ending quest to find rattles :evilgrin:
He sorted mine - Thx buddy! :drinking: - Was simply one star nut on the dashboard passenger side.. The driver's side fusebox one was still as tight as a nun's nasty [cue for a tasteful but sexy nun pic?].

I have never been so happy to find two lose screw's.
Both mine were virtually out I checked whilst I was at work, so I have hand tightened them for now till I get home.
I hope this fixes the rattle.....Its got to of been that making the noise :pomppomp:

I had a really annoying knocking noise which I thought was the boot catch, after spending half an hour making infinite adjustments I couldn't shift it..............................then yesterday I realised the cause, the stupid bloody England flag the missus had fitted on the aerial!!! :stupid:

i have more trim creak than rattle, and definately more prononuced when cold.
there's one creak which i can't quite get rid off, but comes from the passenger side knee rest
tried to tighten the bolt underneath the triangle section but no joy

Wow, this thread needs some serious bumping! I had some rattle coming from the front and was searching for a solution here. Thank God I found this thread before I started to tear my dash apart :laugh:
Both sides were very loose and most of my rattle coming from front of the car is now gone! :happy2:
However I'm still getting a very annoying rattle from the left back corner of my car. Unlike some other guy did here I put my mrs behind the wheel and threw myself in the trunk. The sound was definately coming from the rear light.
Need to take it off and see what's up. This might give me a good excuse to change to some LED rear lights. I'll try to tell the mrs that it's unfixable and if she doesnt buy that I'll just tell her I accidentally broke it :signLOL: :signLOL:

Wouldn't the best fix be, to travel everywhere with the missus in the boot stopping the rattle, the cabin would then be quiet as well. :laugh:

Thanks for that, much appreciated :smiley:

Screw driver side missing :surprised:
Passenger side - can't see due to parrot so taking that out later.
Regarding creak in centre top vent. I followed a thread to jam something in the small space to stop the movement.
Used a bit of cardboard wrapped in duct tape....owerked for about 300miles.....now creaking again. :fighting:
Will have to rip it out and again and try the felt solution....

Im getting annoying rattles from both sides of my front silver door trim. Anyone have any tips to cure this as its driving me bonkers! :laugh: :rolleye:

Bloody rattle took me weeks to sort. Plastic fuse cover on drivers side was the main problem and themn there was the centre dash vent also.
Fixed both with sellotape foam stuff
-
Niceone - mine where loose!!! :happy2:

Hi,
I had the dreaded centre top vent rattel. Forced a slim piece of wood covered in tape between the gap under the vent at the front, stopped it straight away, i had put vecro tape every where before that with no joy. Then i found a pic guide, cant remember where though was a while ago.
-
Checked mine today both was loose got some thred lock on them to make sure, makes you think what else is loose and you don't know about.
-
I know this is an old thread now but had too post my thanks! The passenger screw was sooo loose, that rattle has been bugging me for over a year! :congrats:
Just the door one now :)
-
thanks a lot mate - this worked great for me,
Ive been having worsening rattles from the passenger side for the past 20k miles, the drivers side started recently as well.
I found both of mine loose so I tightened them as you said and the noise went away.
Again, thanks a lot.

Checked mine at the weekend, loose as anything! Might be an idea to apply some threadlock to the screws to stop it happening again!

Checked mine earlier after reading this thread. Weren't loose but went another 1/4 turn.

Nice one Joe,checked mine today and I think you can guess what i found.Drivers side screw was almost fully unscrewed :surprised:
Top tip matey.

Just checked mine, drivers side loose and passenger side almost ready to fall out!!! Now nicely tightened cheers Joe!! :happy2:

Really strange how seemingly EVERY mark 5 GTI has got these 2 screws loose!!! Some arses are overdue for a kicking over at Wolfsburg methinks!!

Just had a quick check at mine and yes.....they needed tightened!! Passenger side was about to drop off, driver side need about 2 full turns.
Thanks for the tip :happy2:

An old thread I just came across - but many thanks anyway. :happy2:
Tightened all the screws - passenger side top one was almost falling out!
I also clipped back the wire that goes to the glove box light, with a cable tie through a handy hole, while I was in the passenger side. That stopped the light rattling at odd intervals.
Now to try and stop the occasional buzz from the top of the steering column shroud ........
-

Just for the sake of it I checked and the driver's side screw was loose....
I had a rattle from the passenger side for about a week. Sounded like the glovebox door was the cause. However when I changed the passenger footwell bulb the other day I remembered to investigate the rattle.
I was sat on the floor outside with the passenger door open, fitting the bulb. I saw the removable panel on the side of the dash/glovebox. It was then I remembered Joes old thread (this one) :laugh:
Low and behold, the screw was so loose it had almost backed all the way out. :surprised:
2 of the torx screws were actually loose. I decided to check the drivers side too and yep, top one was loose.
So now I am Rattle free in a nice silent cabin. :star:
Who else thinks it would be great to have a sticky "Rattles" thread? members can add Rattle fixes for others to use. I know quite a few now :happy2:
Cheers Joe :wink: (Where the hell are you?" :grin:
