Is This The Fuel Line Rattle?

Hey everyone,

I'm encountering the first, of what I assume will be many, rattles with my '12 GTI. It only happens at idle, and will either go away or change frequency when AC is on or any throttle is applied.

I have been reading up on the various rattles and from what I can tell I think I have the fuel line rattle or some heat shield/exhaust hanger loose?

I can hear it in the driver's seat and it sounds like its coming from directly behind me, somewhere under the rear seat cushion and back. I know the fuel line rattle is usually heard from around the glove box area, but is it possible this is the same problem?

Here's a short video looking under the driver's side just in front of the rear wheel. I would have recorded longer but my phone died.

Thanks in advance!

I dont think it would be the fuel line.. it runs along the passenger side but you never know.

Please tell me you found the rattle source. Mine is in the exact area you are saying and it’s driving me crazy since I can’t find it
