I'm still getting rattling and creaking from the centre console, (the arm rest and plastic before the gearbox). I sent it into volkswagen to have a look at it, they said they padded it down but it still makes the annoying rattle.
It's more noticable in cold weather and not as bad when it's hot, I reckon because the plastic expands with heat.
Has anyone got a fix for this? any help would be appreciated? this rattle is driving me nuts!

Re: problems with centre console rattle
take the panels off that go from the footwells to half way up the centre console (parallel between the gear lever and seatbelt). There are a few metal clips there that could cause a rattle if not seated properly... will also allow you to have a root around with your fingers.. take the gear lever gator off as well and have a prod.. Is the rattle more obvious or the creaking?
