    Mk5 Golf/Jetta Problem Registry

    I though to start this thread where we can post all our warranty issues that all VW owners may have had, may have and their fixes if under warranty or $$$ if out of pocket expense
    I'll start first, maybe not much but still
    1 rattle rear right hand door
    2 rattle on top of centre console
    and now something different
    strange thing happened today. When I unlocked my car today, red LED light on drivers side door stayed alight for duration of my trip.
    When I got home locked my car and unlocked it back light when off. Another thing is that when I switch engine off I get noise that sounds like air coming out when empty
    bottle submerged under water at certain speed and sound changes as it comes to an end ( that is as close as I can explain it). It does not affect speed, gear change, starting up or anything else..
    Anyone has any ideas?

    Senior mods, maybe we can have this thread pinned to the top so it can be easyly found

    Stuck thread

    OK, I've stuck the thread.
    It's probably a good idea to (before posting) do a search for the problem that you have. For example, the noises after switching off have been covered before (coolant pump?) as have the rattles and some possible remedies.

    Yep, I have a pretty major problem with my R32.

    The problem is, it is either in Germany or on a boat somewhere, rather than my garage
    R32 - Black, 3 door, DSG, sunroof, Pioneer AVIC HD3

    Its funny you mention that ACDCFAN. Just the other night my drivers door red light did exactly the same thing. Turned the car off and has never done the same thing since. I'm getting my car back from the dealer tommorrow from a minor service (6000km's) and a warrnanty repair list that is a mile long.

    3 dash board rattles
    1 blown drivers door speaker
    1 centre console rattle
    Rear tail gate rattle
    A misterious noise when you hit any serious undulation in the road
    Replace centre arm rest with leather one that never came from the factory new. (can you believe that a car with full leather never came with a leather arm rest)

    All this in just 6000k's. I'm actually scared to lower it now in the chance i will be devoting all my spare time fixing rattles
    Of course it's not going to work if you use rusty bullets!

    Mine was about 6000km too.

    Also had the red light thing twice in 10,000km, so no biggy, just weird.
