I sometimes get a rhythmical ticking from inside the driver door. Every 1/2 to 1 second. Sometimes running, sometimes parked.. Who knows, I may have a haunted VW.. Anyone else get this? I know we get lots of rattles and hums, but this is different. Sounds like something cycling.

Ticking sound from inside driver's door.

No, he is not talking about fuel system check.
The ticking sound clearly comes from the driver's door and, as GTiBri mentioned above, I also think it's the expansion of something inside the door. It's another annoyance in these cars. My daughter's 12 year old Golf has less rattles and squeaks than my one year old GTI

Mine does this too, very strange.
HOWEVA!! the rear window spray nozzle hasn't leaked at all in 6 months.

I had that same ticking...actually I have 3. One from the usual fuel pump..the other on the passenger door due to temps..with expanding plastics on seals and etc. The 3rd ticking (driver's door) had to be repaired twice. Turns out it was a welding bead on the inside of the door that was protruding to much and would make contact with the inside of the sheet metal (door) causing a tapping sound that was completely random. It must have been within millimeters, because it would sometimes happen and sometimes not...probably also depended on temps.
Also have that noise only on sunny days. Tried to have the dealer take a look at it but they said they didn't hear anything.
It seems like it is coming from the black trim on the vertical part of the door next to the window. When I close the door it moves a little bit and sqeeks but the passenger side feels solid and doesn't creak or tick.
