Dash Rattle

[ronster007]

Just wondering if anyone has experienced any rattles from the dash on new Karoqs?  I have had one on mine since delivery but it’s very odd as it’s intermittent and when in the drivers seat sounds like it’s coming from passengers side but when in passenger seat it sounds like it’s coming from the drivers side.

Not yet, fingers crossed...

[Michael G]

Yes. And exactly as you say re which side. And intermittent. Following this with interest.

No nothing. It really is the strangest thing but very annoying

Its probably useful to state which model car you have when discussing rattles, as there are differences in equipment. For example there are differing infotainment systems that may have different mounting leading to a rattle / creak or the Canton sound system that has an extra speaker in the top of the dash...

 

I have no dash rattles at present in my SE-L, no Canton sound.

It’s anSE-L with the standard infotainment set up

No noise on my SE-L.

Did you tell the dealer about it?

[Livrishind]

If I do have a rattle I'm not that bothered, the noise from the air con fan and tyres will drown it out!

No but had issues with the dealer so won’t be going back

What have you got in glovebox , or centre console .?.

my superb use to drive me mad until I found out it was some coins jangling around in a small ashtray pot that I took out of a Toyota Yaris we owned.

You could try tapping the dash with a plastic camping mallet with the ends wrapped with a microfibre cloth (or similar) and see if that highlights where the rattle is coming from.

If not the usual suspects, crap in a storage area, then areas reported on other Skoda models;

 

Where the dash meets the A pillar. 

Where the dash meets the windscreen. 

The ICE not seated correctly. 

Loose connection at rear of ICE. 

Loose component within an air vent. 

 

Good hunting.

Google ‘rattlebuster’

 

i bought the CD many years ago and it was at least some success 

[Tom34]

SEL standard equipment no rattle. Would annoy me if it happened so soon, maybe after a few years but not a few weeks/months.

I think I'll stick with the rattle.

Just a duster and the service/user manual. Hopefully it settles down as things bed in. Last thing I want to do is have the dash taken apart as these things are never the same after that and more and more problems are simply likely to arise.

The first Yeti I had suffered from various rattles that took a number of visits to the dealer to sort. 

[Berniebantam]

Just wondered ronster007 if you got to the bottom of the rattle? I get it but it's always when I am driving so I can't examine every cubby hole on the passenger side and the wife says it's on my side of the car......so stalemate!

[Michael G]

The original rattle has now been replaced by a trim "squeek" around the area where the dash meets the driver's door

You can go to any dealer you like -  just switch to a better one. The warranty is with the manufacturer and not a specific dealer.

[Grumpy Geaser]

My SE has this 'rattle' on drivers side I suspect the mount for my Garmin Sat Nav but on the passenger side I suspect disturbed trim when dealer installed dash cam as A pillar to door seal wasn't back in place correctly. Not happening often enough to get to worked up about - will keep until anything else shows up but so far so good

[Grumpy Geaser]

Forgot to say - the Yeti was notorious and it was usually the instrument surrounds (rev counter/ speedo) but the Karoq has eliminated these
