Škoda Fabia MK3 2016 – weird rattling sound

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

So I have been fighting with interior rattles for the past week, putting self adhesive tape everywhere I hear a rattle, but can't figure out this one. When the lever that tightens the steering wheel in the position is tightened, there is a rattle coming from the speedometer area, and when I release the lever, it doesn't rattle. It makes no sense to me why, does anybody have a similar problem, or the solution to it? 

Video of the problem: 

 

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be the same rattle but the clamping makes it more concentrated or transferred to the vicinity of the speedo binnacle.

 

What about the seat squeak(?) (or if you're old like me it might be your body, bones or joints).

 

You're going to have the time of your life with the squeak/creak/rattle from under the front of your car.

 

I applaud your efforts as I can't stand these sort of noises but if things are too quiet I just hear all the different noises at different times from the engine bay as I guess the computer does its good (and evil) stuff, then there's the possible exhaust shield rattle and the intermittent seatbelt/seta squeaks from driver's or front passenger seats and other intermittent stuff.

 

Once you've sorted yours I'll bring ours around to you. 🙂

 

Sorry, perhaps someone that actually knows will be along later.   

On my last Fabia (2016) the rattle came from the glove box.

Thanks everyone for your replies, there indeed was a rattle coming from the glovebox, which I fixed, but the one in the video is coming from the horn/airbag on the steering wheel. I won't mess around putting tape underneath it, because I am afraid that I will mess up the airbag somehow, so I guess I will just have to live with it.
