I think it has something to do where the rear glass meets the top of the tailgate.
Basically, that joint/connection right there.
Some people have put down some weather stripping of sorts (on the tailgate), others have lubed it up.
But that's the fix.
Mine does it most of the time. But then...
My driver side has it. the passenger side did as well but I swear it fixed itself over time lol.
When I'm at a stop light, I'll poke at the driver side one from time to time, hah.
I have yet to own one (a DSG), but it is likely that I will get one if I end up replacing my current GTI with another - but it would be an R.
I've waited long enough at this point I figured I could wait to see what the 8.5 refresh brings to the states.
I also sort of want to see what this new...
Enjoy!
I currently have a 2015 GTI that I've had since new (and another before that).
Totally different from the Bronco, obviously but definitely more fun on the pavement.
Well that is sort of discouraging....
Aside from putting the car up in the air and having someone sit in it and apply throttle while you are under it looking around...I'm not sure what else to do...
Yeah all the cam phaser videos I've heard produce a very noticeable "rattling" the first few seconds after start up.
I did not think I heard that sound in your video, but did hear the other rattle sound later on as you mentioned.
I'll try to see if I hear something similar on mine after start up...
That's what I'm thinking. I'm from Volkswagen world where rattling wastegates have been around for a while, and that's exactly what this seems like lol.
So just to be clear I don't believe I hear it on startup and I also believe it happens all the time. Not just shortly after cold start.
Pretty sure I can replicate it pretty much anytime I want to under the right conditions, which again I think is just partial throttle at low RPM.
I will hear...
I've got the 2.7 that has a slight metallic rattle at low RPM under partial throttle.
Been meaning to pinpoint it, but never really think about it.
You can only hear it with the windows down or door off, and it only lasts for a second or two is speed and RPMs increase.
