Golf/GTI VI :: Rear Seat Rattle During Idle / Over Bumps

MK6 gti/golf ... I recently found a new *metal* type rattle coming from my rear seat on the passenger side no one seemed to have the fix for it online, so i decided to hunt for the rattle. found it and the fix is very easy. There are 3 possible repairs:

Repair 1 steps:

1) release the rear seat clips, 2 slide in clips in the front, just pull up, and then the 2 rear hooks by pushing the seat back and up motion to unhook.

2) fold the carpet over on the passenger side and you will find the fuel tank access lid

3) pull the grommet with the wires going through it out, i also wrapped the module sitting in the pocket of the lid with cloth tape/ felt tape

4) pull up on the plastic lid. (you might break a tap or two of the lid you can easily secure the lid down with sound deadening or dum dum)

5) first thing you see is a black and blue fuel line ( mine were touching each other making a rattle noise) and if u were to shake the lines they would rattle farther in against the body

6) take piece of rubber hose (i used a type of fuel line i had at work) cut one side of the rubber hose so u can fit it over the line.

7) slide the rubber piece over both lines and push it in as far as you need, untill the line does not hit the body or make a rattle type noise.

8) place one more piece where the two lines touch

9) re assemble the rear seats (seal the lid if you broke any clips. to prevent air noise)

Repair 2:

1) lift car up and locate the top camber bolt on the passenger side. there should be a white plastic evap line. i found mine touching and rattling.

2) cut a piece of rubber hose and slice one side so you can slip it over the line

Repair 3:

1) remove the 10 mm plastic nuts on the plastic cover on the passenger side to reveal the fuel lines and evap lines.

2) found my lines touching

3) place rubbing tubing on all three of the lines

4) re assemble plastic cover and road test car.

You can always add more rubber pieces if needed.
