I have an annoying vibration/rattle coming from the right side of the glove box on my (RHD) A3. I understand that there is a service bulletin which addresses this fault. Can anyone Help?

 

While it may sound like it is coming from the glove box, you very likely have the familiar "Fuel LIne Rattle." There is a TSB for it, but it is very easily and cheaply repaired as described here:

Thanks for advice, but rattle stops when I push against glove box lid.

 

Call the dealer. They'll be able to fix it if it's still under warranty and there's a service bulletin.

 

For God's sakes - haven't you guys ever seen foam tape? If you take it to the dealer, all they're gonna do is find the noisy spot, shim it with a piece of tape, send you home, and charge Audi of America $150. Shortcut the process.

 

I have an '06 A3 2.0T and have the same problem. Had it fixed, however, it started again a week later...

 

At idle my car is making that terrible rattle noise. Checked out the article and will do the fix.

 

heres an idea,try remove the glovebox yourslef and try locate the problem,on my 2000 model,the glovebox is fixed on the right hand side to a pillar along with the centre console,maybe its loose and the nut is rattling around?worth a shot man,plus its not a major job,you could do it in an hour tops for the whole lot!

 

Thanx for all the help and advice but I fixed rattle by following the audi bulletin..............see attachment....

 

hey stevo i think i might be experiencing the same problem. checked out your attachment but i have no idea where all that is. can u explain?
