Ratteling noise when accelerating / maintaining speed in 1st and 2nd

Post by 6N2GTI »

Hello guys,
Good afternoon y'all.

I have noticed a funny sound with my 6N2 GTI (AVY) and maybe someone here has a shared experience / advice.
When driving in 1st or 2nd gear, roughly between 1500 and 3000 rpm, there is this steel-ish rattling sound.
This doesn't occur in higher gears or at higher RPM. Sound fades away after ~3000 rpm
It occurs when accelerating (only between ~1500-3000 RPM) and when maintaining speed at these same rpm.
The sound is most present when maintaining speed.
The sound is NOT present when revving in neutral!
Makes it extra tough to find out since I can not just pop the hood and listen (popping while driving wouldn't be the best idea think so)

I know it's very hard to determine a sound via forum, but maybe somebody has a similar issue / tips / tricks / advise what it could be?
I will try to post a vid but since sound is only present when actually driving, I hope this will work.


Many, many thanks so far guys!
Grts. Marvin
