My 2008 vrs TFSI with 60k miles has developed a rattle. I have search the other rattle threads and haven't been able to find a similar problem.

My rattle is only heard at tick over and only from inside the car. It it a very light tapping sound, but audible to all in the car. It is like a plastic or light metal flat vibrating with the engine vibration at tick over. There is no noise from anything slightly over tick over or going over bumps etc. It seems to be coming from within the dash but is not related to fan speed, depressing the clutch or anything in storage compartments and lightly thumping the dash does not change it. It is always present at tick over.

Any ideas what it could be? And also could it be covered under warranty?

Many thanks

I pin pointed it to the fuel and evap line tapping against eachother or against the chassis leg, all you need to do is unclip them from the holder (top left of engine bay) give them a shake and clip them back in. Hope that helps.

ok, thanks, i'll try that out later

Please excuse my dumbness but I'm not sure what pipes these are.

Is it the ones that I have circled in the photo?

no mate those arnt the pipes, you are looking for the fuel and evap line. Bottom left of the engine bay you will find the black charcoal canister, trace the evap line from it to the holder at the top left of the engine bay. Inbetween the brake and coolant reservoirs.
