Just wondering, at low revs the engine bay 'growls' slightly, nothing much, just annoying. I was told that it is something plastic working itself loose in the engine bay (by Skoda here in CZ) and they fixed it a while back, but perhaps my imagination is working overtime, but I think it is back......

If it's a growl it's normally on the air filter circuit somewhere, Sup 1 is was the snorkel to box joint, I think the Sup 2 has a different arrangement though, might be worth searching a VW forum for similar threads, you may find the answer quicker there, hth.

Well, it only occurs at 2000 revs, and is a tad annoying if I'm in traffic (I have the auto DSG, on the Tdi). I should add that I am a perfectionist, so what is annoying to me may not be heard by others....

I don't know what piece of plastic was loose the frist time round (I didn't bother asking the garage as I didn't think it would come back), but I know they definitely told my fleet manager it was a 'loose bit of plastic'...... I will ask my FM to contact the garage and see if they can point us in the right direction.

Thank you no pressure the car goes in on Thursday so 3 days and counting. Cheers though.
