Tdi FR Rattles

[richardh]

Well had the car 2 weeks now and on top of the noisy engine and hard ride the car now rattles.

One rattle comes from somewhere in the centre console and the other sounds like it's coming front driver's side B post.

Interestingly the B-post noise goes away if the window is opened a fraction. Not a work-around but interesting nonetheless.

Any body else has similar issues? Any easy fixes?

yes and yes.
not personally but plenty of people have had both and managed to fix them. a quick 'search' would be revealing.

Try a search under the heading 'driving car with dash out'. You'll find info and potential fixes

Same problem here since yesterday. I also get a rattle from the central dash vents. push on the top and it stops.

Hard ride and rattles

Have to say the ride is a bit harsh on the sportier Leon Mk2's I have an FR and some of the roads I have to use day in day out are crap, so it didn't take long for the odd dash rattle to start... I don't mind that much I just turn the music up ... lol

Started getting a rattle also today, 700 miles without 1 so i did better than some Is quite annoying but its not loud and my music usually is so... Pff. I'd rather have a rattle than something serious.
