Re: Rattle at low rpm under load appeared overnight - 6C 1.0

I've had a similar experience in my 2015 6c 1.2TSI, a strong vibration/buzz/rattle under load. I initially thought it was under the driver's footwell and found some Golf and up! owners had rattling fuel lines where the clips had failed.

The local garage couldn't find anything amiss, and it needed ...

Re: Oil leak problem

Mine looked exactly the same last week, garage found that the water pump was leaking.....so Ciclo could be spot on (again...!). Worth keeping an eye on the coolant level in the expansion tank.

Kind regards, Tracendaz.
