Hello friends!
I recently bought a Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSI and have this annoying and weird rattle inside the cabin when the engine is idle. It usually starts after 2-3 minutes after the engine is working.
Informed the dealer of course and he suggested to wait 1000-2000km as the car is still new. Now have 1.5k and the noise is still present.
I don’t seem to hear it coming from the engine while listening carefully with the hood open.
I saw online that people had similar noise / issues with the transmission (manual) and the noise disappears when the clutch is pressed. Mine is still there.
It doesn’t stop once the engine gets fully heated (90C) and even after a normal drive (20min).
Here is a video of the sound (please use headphones if possible) and you can noise doesn’t start immediately and I also at the end increase the revs briefly to show that it goes away than reappears when idle.

Did somebody encounter this problem? Is it normal for a TSI engine?
Thanks in advance!
