Yea seems to only when the car has been idle for a while , noticed it more during the lockdown of course

Today i decided to find where that noise comes from in the engine bay when i start it up.... Found it was the Radiator fan that makes the racquet for a minute or so until it calms down

As we have been in a 5 mile lockdown here for so long, my first trip out was much needed and enjoyed , just to my vw dealership and back

Thats identical to the one i saw in a dealer today, the back end not too bad, Interior ..... shocking

Finally after the 5mile travel restriction has been lifted here, i went for a spin, saw the new Golf 8 and got 49 mpg out of the gti+

I find that first start for mine in the morning the engine whines quite a bit for a minute or so, then calms down and i can drive off .

Also last few days i have had a few people asking if it was the new golf mk8 Gti

Top man thanks for your reply as usual

How do the paddles fit?? Screws or clip on ?

Hmmm yea I’ll have to have a drive today and listen , I can’t record the noise , but as I bought the car during the winter and only now have driven it with the windows down maybe it’s a normal noise from the turbo whine , thanks guys

Hmm it’s doing it today again , had the window down to hear it and when I accelerate it’s a whoosh or something like that noise , maybe the belt in the engine , just not heard it before

Only a day , its only had small journeys every day since this covid started.... I'll go out again in a bit around the estate to see if I can pinpoint it

Took the gti for a spin today ... not far .... noticed a noise from the engine when driving, hope its normal , was like a swoosh type of noise , or the noise when power steering is on full turn, weird and hard to explain...

Thats exactly what I did Clive, annoying rattle , simple fix

Sorted .... it was indeed the handbrake button!!! Sounded central but i thought it was the tray under the radio and heating controls, but it was that button, put some felt tape down inside and all that noise is gone... brilliant thanks

drove my gti today after what seems an age and noticed a new rattle, could not place it so i will try the handbrake button.... where did you sort it? Just place card or paper in the side of the buton?
