Hi JF, I did eventually find part of my rattle. Mine was the same as yours, I could swear it was coming from the top of the dash,, I eventually traced it to the heating pipes on the right hand side behind the lower console long panel. This has cured maybe 80% of it, I do still have a rattle around the 2000 rpm mark which my mechanic is convinced is an engine mount. I'll definitely whip those bits off and have a look. At the very least it will discount them.

Thanks Ap, I'll look into that too as I believe that they run down a channel under the sill.

Hi gentlemen. I know there are plenty of us that suffer from the dreaded dashboard rattle. I've had my 2016 Superb 2.0 diesel estate for a couple of years now. It always had a slight rattle coming from the centre of the dash when the engine is up to temperature between 1 and 2000 revs and even louder under load, but now it's getting ridiculous and it's driving me up the wall..I've had all but the subframe engine mount done because going on what I've read on the forums and given the vibration seems to be directly behind the centre vents I'm reluctant to go to the expense of having the mount replaced. My trusted mechanic is opting for the sub frame mount but I'm convinced it's something behind the dash. I've had the top speaker grill out and the infotainment head unit out at the same time and I can replicate the rattle holding at about 1200revs. Poked, proded, pushed, pulled, all to no avail. I've read that it could be the heater pipes of the AC pipes that might be vibrating together so I want to get access to both and slide some pipe lagging up the pipes towards the bulkhead to see if this does the trick. I can't find anywhere on how to take the glove box out completely to gain access to the heater pipes and hopefully the AC pipes all from the passenger side ( I've got the CD player and airbag switch to contend with aswell ). I know I've got to take the centre consol trim off and possibly I've got to switch to the righthand drivers side to gain access to the AC pipes. So if anybody has any idea how to do it that would be much appreciated. Also any info on centre of the dash rattle causes and how they were fixed would be a great help. Thanks in advance chaps.

I use the parking brake exactly as I would use a conventional handbrake when parking. The electronic brake will disengage when you pull away if you forget to release it. The other brake is your "hold" brake, this comes on every time you stop with the brakes ( when switched on). Useful for steep hill starts.

Hi there, a newbie here, I've bought a 16 plate Superb SEL Executive Estate and like many others, have a centre dashboard vibration at about 2000 revs which disappeares moving past this rev range. I've read the AC pipes behind the dash might be at fault. However, my local mechanic ( who I've been using for years and trust implicitly) says that it's worn engine mounts. It's a pretty involved job, dropping out the sub frame, pressing in new bushes, then the top engine mounts. Has anybody come across this vibration and found the engine mounts to be the cause ? Thanks.
