BlueGT, rattle and warranty

[albob]

Just after a little bit of advice please.

I own a 66 plate BlueGt with a ( interior?) rattle (..ukcing annoying !!).

There is still 2 months left on my 3 year warranty. Does the warranty cover such things as rattles ??

(i'd sort it myself, but just cant find it...)

On the basis that many wear and tear items and mechanical adjustments are only covered for the first six months / 6,500 miles (whichever is soonest) under VW’s 3 year new car warranty, I doubt rectification of a rattle would be covered nearly three years after first registration.

I don’t know if I’d want a dealer to rip parts of the interior trim out of my car to cure a rattle. They’d probably cause additional rattles, with the risk that they might also damage some of the interior trim panels in the process.

If I had a rattle that’s difficult to find, I’d get a friend to sit in the car in the general area of the noise while I was driving, and get them to locate the source of the rattling noise. Alternatively, get a friend or family member to drive your car while you track down the source of the noise.

" I’d get a friend to sit in the car in the general area of the noise while I was driving" - tried that - the 'friend' couldn't help (rubbish ! )


"get a friend or family member to drive your car while you track down the source of the noise." -- that's my next thing to do

the first part of your reply makes sense - thanks for the advice, which I will follow
