Hello
I recently purchased a GTI 2.0 DSG with 85k km on the clock.
There was a rattling sound i could hear ONLY from inside the cabin. It seemed like there was something wrong with the timing chain/ tensioner (though it had the updated tensioner and didnt require upgrade). A couple days later the car started vibrating hard and engine light + EPC light came on. It turned out that my pistons were broken and i needed a new engine. I thought the rattling noise was due to bad engine.
Now that i have replaced the engine and the car runs fine but the rattling noise is still there and is only heard inside the cabin and unfortunately no mechanic is able to figure out whats wrong.When its parked uphill, the sound is gone but when parked on a flat surface the sound is back.
Has anyone faced this problem before?? Please help
