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
