Scirocco Central

Matija reading your experience of the boot not rattling when rear seat is used: maybe the issue is in one of the back seats, more precisely in the locks. Had a similar issue with GF's VW polo, where I couldnt find the source of the boot rattle until I found out it doesnt rattle when rear seats are ...

Thanks for the photo, RW1. In my case, the plastic part that's covering the trim that you've mentioned has already been changed, so I've been driving with this part missing for a few days. It still rattled and I think it was not coming from out there but from lower boot area. Although once when I pu...

Is the hatch actually up against the seal all round, mine is, ie, you can't gently depress the rear hatch when locked further into the car? If you can, it's a securing pin adjustment to pull the hatch further up against the seal. Otherwise the rattle I would think is coming from something else, may...

Mine's rattling dispite missing bump stops.

I agree! Same situation here (central Europe, near Austria, Italy, adriatic Sea...) - lots of snow, to cold to melt.

Did you follow the instructions that RW1 wrote and it stopped rattling in the rear end or I understood you wrong?
Which gap did you mean?

Hi!
How's your rattle doing?

Well, tailgate rattle has become "my middle name" already (an old rusty Polo from 1996 doesn't produce such noises through the potholes!). There's also a squeek present (1.4 tsi 160) and so far that's it.

For now...

matija1974 :yes: and your english is a better than "wooden" mate. " I also have noticed that the little plastic flap isn't tightened enough - it can be moved left and right for cca 0.5cm." That is normal, nothing wrong there with your Scirocco. Try putting some felt pads (eg. Ve...

Also pick two identical point on the rear car bodywork, left and right sides, and check the metal holding pin is in a central position. If not this, then there are two screw head bolt holding the holding pin plate in place. (You will need an impact driver to undo these from experience and they need...

Here's how I did mine.... 1. Loosen allen bolt and pull stops almost all the way out 2. Very gently close boot, don't slam you are trying to get the boot to push the stops back in to roughly the right place. 3. Open boot and pull stops out by 2-3 clicks, then tighten allen bolts. 4. Go for a drive ...

thanks anyway

Hi! Although I've tried several times I never succeded to get rid from the boot rattle - I put the dampers out for about 8mm but it didn't help. My mechanic told me that he will try to adjust the tailgate lock, I hope this will help. :mad: Is it possible that the real reason is not in the tailgate b...

Digiman wrote:Hi, I have mine adjusted out about 7mm and mine is OK. You should tighten the bolt or else it might just push in when you close the tailgate.

I put the dampers out for about 5mm, I'll now try with 7 or more (although I have some thoughts, I hope the tailgate will stay closed ).

Thanks.

You may need a bit of trial and error to get them to the right length. Hi, I've tried placing the damper in several positions and I must say it's better but not good - the slight clunking is still present while driving slowly over bad road :mad: ! Do I need to fully retighten the bolt or should I t...

i had a similar problem wheni first got my car, going slowly over rough ground i would creak and clunk from the rear end. 2 trips later to vw and they replaced all the interior trim in the boot area, i dont exactly know what but the list on the warranty sheet is pretty impressive, needless to say i...
