My Touareg ('08, 6k miles) is starting to develop a rattling noise. I really don't know where it comes from. I believe it started as very faint popping noises and grew to loud rattling. The pops seemed to be coming from under/by the driver's seat/driver's door and the rattling seems to be coming from in front/behind the steering wheel/engine. Any ideas of what it is? I'm taking in my Touareg tomorrow morning to get a paint (factory flaw) issue fixed and I will tell the dealer about it. It should be covered under warranty, assuming they locate the issue. It's not a continuous problem either, it seems to be random.
Some other minor issues I've noticed with my Touareg lately are: passenger door handle sticks, parking brake sticks, parking brake pull thing sticks out and doesn't go all the way back in automatically (you have to push it back in), rear hatch latch is forming a small gap (on the sill, not the hatch itself- the little flap's hinges where the latch of the hatch goes in are starting to show), back door sill popped out, and my shocks (especially front ones) seem to be squeaky.
I'm going to deliver my full list of grievances tomorrow when dropping off my car. Hopefully it all gets fixed by the end of the day (they said the paint flaw- which is the only thing I told them so far since the other things developed or worsened since I made the appointment- would be ready in a few hours and the other things are generally minor except for the rattling and shock squeak).
Anyone have any experiences with these issues or suggestions?
Oh, and the A-pillar (driver's side door frame) is falling and has been replaced 4 times, I believe it has something to do with the heat so I'm going to wait until my 10k mile service this winter to get it replaced again and see how well it holds up).
