Boo. Noise still there, but seems worse in windy conditions.

Thanks - but it doesn't explain what that slider is for. My car doesn't have colour-adjustable ambient lighting - could it be that the slider works for that? Does anyone use the slider, and so know what it does?

That's what I thought, but moving the slider doesn't appear to change anything.

Hi Guys New (to me) late '21 plate Scala SEL. If I pull down the Control Centre, there's a slider at the top of the screen: Lights on, lights off, engine on, engine off, daytime, nighttime - moving it doesn't seem to make any difference to anything. What's it for? Cheers.

Curiously, I find that if I use my right thumb on the handle to lock the doors, it doesn't always work. Pressing quite hard with a different finger seems more reliable, also using the passenger door seems better.

Hi Thanks for your help with this. I've only had the car for a few days, so nothing is certain yet, but the noise was only evident on the motorway, say 50+ mph. I stuck on some felt pads, so it can still open and close, but not quite to the extent it did before. Trying not to get too excited - on the motorway today I couldn't hear the noise. Wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple? Time will tell. I'll report any updates as they occur. Cheers

Thanks, Aldfort - but I'm pretty sure the flap is top-hinged at both ends; it only moves in the direction of being opened or closed. Mike

Thanks, guys. I'm reluctant to take spanners etc. to the car at this stage, since I've only had it a few days, and it's under warranty for a year. As far as I can tell the flap is just hinged on its top edge, and doesn't seem to have fixings for springs or any other kind of control. I've been in touch with the dealer who sold it, and sent the same photo and video, so it will be interesing to see what they say. For now I've also put felt pads in a few places to mute the noise it makes when it opens or closes. I'll post an update if/when there is one.

Enjoying my new (used) Scala 1.0; but there's an annoying intermittent rattle from the front at motorway speeds. I'm no good with spanners, but a look under the bonnet reveals an unsprung/unrestrained small flap above the radiator - see pics. Photo and video are is taken with me by front right wheel, looking towards the front of the engine bay. Untitled Project.mp4 If I manually move it up and down, it makes a similar sound to the annoying rattle - I can imagine it flapping open and closed when moving at speed. Anyone know what it is? OK to tape it open or closed? Tia. Mike

Hi This seems to be real issue with VW group. Wasn't prepared to pay for new ones, so I did a repair by cutting a length of bicycle inner tube and sticking on with superglue. Not especially pretty, but you can't see it from inside the car, and is does the job. Mike
