Morning Guys,
Not been around for a looonnnggg while since selling the MK5 GTi back in 2014 after getting a new job with a company car, i used to really enjoy the banter and general help a lot of the people on here used to offer to folk less technically minded like myself and im looking forward to lurking around more often again...
To cut a long story short after a pretty big collision on the M61 a couple of months ago (Not my fault) my 2017 BMW 320d was written of and with the company i work for changing the rules on only being allowed to drive Diesels i thought, wouldn't it be amazing to get myself back into a GTi so here she is...

Needless to say i'm absolutely over the moon with it, to say it only has around 30BHP over my old MK5 it seems a hell of a lot quicker or maybe i've just got used to diesels over the last 4 years.
One thing that is bugging me a little is a low RPM there is a very annoying rattling / resonating noise coming from somewhere behind the dash. i seem to remember when i was here back with the mk5 there seemed to be a few people having this issue and it was loose fixings somewhere deep behind the dash, is anyone else having / had this issue and how have you had any luck rectifying it? obviously its a 2 week old car i don't want to be taking the dash apart.
Anyway like i say i hope to be hanging around more often.
Cheers
