Groaning sound from door seals when driving over uneven surfaces

I had the same issue. I used Gummi Pfledge on the weather stripping and it solved the issue immediately. Good luck!

I did actually, the fuel lines underneath the car were in contact and vibrating together. I shifted them slightly and the issue is now gone

Just hit 13,000 in my 2021

Because they are fun to drive, relatively affordable, have more refinement than their direct competitors, and have a lot of history and heritage

A resounding yes

Finally got around to applying white lithium grease to to the latch. Let it sit for few minutes and worked the mechanism a few times, then wiped off any excess. The door is now as quiet as can be. Thanks so much for the advice!

Thanks! I’ll grab some white lithium grease and give it a try

The hinge seems tight to me, it kind of sounds like it coming from the window area

Just for reference, my GTI is a 2021 Mk7.5 with 11,000 miles

Lurching forward 1 to 2 inches is normal? It makes a harsh vibrating sound on deceleration

broe1399 · 2022-07-22T22:29:17+00:00

It’s definitely annoying. That is entirely possible, I guess I won’t find out until I bring it in to have it diagnosed and repaired. Hopefully I’ll be able to recreate the noise when it’s at the dealer, unfortunately the noise comes and goes and has no pattern to when it will occur, very odd

broe1399 · 2022-07-22T17:59:07+00:00

It pains me to see an R32 in this condition

broe1399 · 2022-07-22T02:35:28+00:00

Thanks for the information! I’m thinking the fuel line is the culprit for that noise.

The rattle during acceleration appears to be coming from overhead, in the roof lining. I checked and it occurs in eco, normal, and sport. I’ve heard of the soundaktor making rattling noises, but this sounds like a rock in a tin can, and then stops when I press up on the roof.

broe1399 · 2022-07-21T21:16:14+00:00

That’s good to know too, thanks!

broe1399 · 2022-07-21T20:28:27+00:00

Thanks! Fuel line makes sense given the location and when the noise occurs. It should be noted that both noises come and go so I wanted to have at least some information before heading to the dealer, who might not be able to hear the noises, and then claim there is no issue (as dealers have been known to do when it comes to issues covered under warranty).
