This will be an interesting and important poll,as we have a good cross-section of new Evoque's worldwide, and i hope LD will be looking on with interest,because this result is about the quality control checking at the end of the production line.

1. I have 1 rattle
2. I have 2 rattles
3. I have more then 2 rattles
4. I had a rattle, but they fixed it
5. I have NO rattles (Complete silence)

NOTE: If you do have a rattle, please let us know by posting where you think it's coming from. Also, if your rattle issue is eventually resolved, the poll allows you to undo your vote,and then place it in the ''I had a rattle,but they fixed it'' column.

My single rattle is coming from the left rear corner shelf compartment, where the fuse box and seatbelt winding mechanism is located. It sounds like a wire slightly tapping against metal.
Now that i'm sure where it's coming from,it looks like i'm going to have to get the dealer take the side boot lining panel off (as it looks a bit tricky to do myself), and then we'll get the bugger.

After a third attempt at my dealers, and process of elimination, today was the day, and in the end, it turned out to be easy to get to,and easy to fix.
It was a clip that holds wires running along inside the rear left roof lining. In this case it was located ( hatch door open) , through the top left door seal /roof lining (See pic below)
This particular clip was NOT be fastened,and as such, was tapping against some metal.
After the technician explained where he found the problem, i test drove it to be sure it was gone, and yup, i just could not believe it, it's gone!!! I'm so happy.
If your one of the unlucky ones who have a rattle,but you end up resolving it,you can undo your rattle vote,and put your vote in the " I had a rattle but they fixed it'' column. I am thrilled to say, i'm in this column now. This is a BIG WIN for me, as i'm very sensative to noise.

The unsecured clip was found in here....


NOTE : Complements must also go to the dealership service over this matter....they were fantastic!!

Not mentioned it to my local Dealer to get fixed yet - it is much more noticeable above 50 mph and I'm mostly doing short local trips. It can be intensely annoying though so does need to be sorted. I'd do it myself but unsure of how to access the area above - have the panoramic roof too.
