Rattles mk4 fr tdi

[martyn82]

My 06 plate ibiza fr rattles everywhere when going over rough roads. I am convinced that it's from the interior rather than Suspension related etc. Also, it comes mainly from the boot area. It's not the spare wheel as took everything out and noise remains. Doing my head in! What are the common areas to check for rattles!?

from the rear no if your saying its not suspension/brake/wheel related. but check under all the seats as i had a similiar thing for long enough and i found a coke can has rolled under the seat, also check the parcel shelf

I think all mk4s rattle, it's a feature of the car!! Absolutely does my head in!

Mine has been rattling since the day I got it (second hand though). Whenever I drive away or there is a weight shift sideways, I get a metallic click sound coming from the left rear area.

Drives me nuts some days, but haven't looked into what might be yet.

Bought the wrong kind of car if rattles do your head in.

Agreed with the above, stiff suspension+small car=that's what radio's volume control is for

Like Chelsea managers, You solve one rattle on a Mk4 and another steps in to take its place.

At least they distract from the awful road noise.

I've also got a rattle in my boot. Drove around with no spare wheel or parcel shelf but I've seen on here that the rattle in your boot could be the exhaust heat shield, they come loose quite easily apparently.

I seem to be one of the minority that has very few abnormal noise/rattles/squeaks

Usual places are heat sheild around rear box, behind glovebox area and check the undertray sides and front section, you wont believe how much noise these make with only 1 bolt missing

Fixed it! my shock was loose at the bottom end, I took of the bolts at the top and it just wobbled around, whoops all ok now though.

So it could be that or maybe the rubbers at the top of the shock are gone?

Had a dogbone bush disintegrate, couldn't even read the s on the steering wheel and the keys jangling in the ignition nearly tipped me over the bloody edge

Or you're so used to them that you no longer regard them as abnormal, just the soundtrack of the car!
