And not because its powered by beelzebubs favorite tipple
Is there such a thing as quality control in Portugal?
This morning on the way into work I was treated to the obligatory rear O/S hatch rattle, front scuttle rattle, and oh joy of joys a new one round by the N/S rear seat!
My Mrs old Swift Sport rattled less and that rattled like two skeletons bonking on a tin roof!
Tis driving me mad - onto VW now - sort it!
That is all

Iv got a rattle at the front by windscreen, not sure what it was. Took serviceman out in it and he couldn't hear it.
Now I can hear a rattle coming from back of car , not sure what that is. Going to book it in and leave it with them to sort rattles out. He said could be to do with the car being cold and plastics all hard.. Funny how it makes rattle noises when it's warm day and car is fully warmed up.

The rattle in the front - if it's only at a certain number of revs, it might be the bonnet stay vibrating against the bonnet itself. Try this topic link -

As for all the others needing to be cold, that sounds like a cop out to me....

Mines a nightmare at the minute, I've had (and cured) the tailgate rattle, now I've got the wastegate rattle, the windscreen rattle, another one that sounds like its coming from the passenger door but I can't be sure and I drove the other day with both the sun blinds down and they were kicking off a right treat, buzzing all over the place.
VW Portugal factory needs a good kick up the arse, to quote a good old fashioned military phrase, normally associated with webbing (the belt kit worn around the waist containing ammo, grenades, water etc);
"Sounds like a skeleton having a w*nk in a biscuit tin"
