Steering wheel cowl noise!

(1/2) > >>

galaxie500:
Very annoying rattle which seems to be coming from just below intrument cluster within the steering wheel cowl. When the rattle 'rattles' a slight pressure on top of the cowling stops the noise.
Anybody else suffering similar and any solutions? Should I remove cowling to investigate?
Thanks

galaxie500:
Anyone suffering similar please!! It's driving me crazy. And not in a good way!

GTIEagles:
Are the clips which attach the top cowling to the bottom there? I had an annoying rattle and one of the clips was missing, got a new one from vw for about 20p and problem solved!

galaxie500:
Thanks for your reply cnut; I've never had the cowl apart. Is it an easy job?

GTIEagles:
The top one just unclips off. Pull the wheel out towards you and using a credit card or something thin but strong place it between the two cowlings and prise it apart. 30 sec job.
