Certain owners of 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R models are experiencing a rattling (can of loose marbles) noise from their engine compartments under low engine loads and low RPM (1500-3000). When the owners bring the vehicle to a Volkswagen dealership, they are told that nothing wrong can be found or that the rattling is common to the vehicle.
However, Volkswagen issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB # 2024061) which describes an identical rattle under identical conditions. The TSB does not include the Golf R models and therefore little is done at the dealership level.
Since Volkswagen has acknowledged a rattle problem with other engines, it is very possible that there are engines in additional models that need to be addressed.
This petition serves as a collection of vehicles that are experiencing this rattling noise from their 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R models and would like to have a resolution in place just as Volkswagen did for other models in TSB # 2024061.

I experience this sound near the turbo during light throttle in first gear between 1,800-3000 rpm.
I have had this issue since purchasing the vehicle. Have taken it to two dealerships with no resolution so far.
Same exact issue
same noise here
I've had the same rattle almost since day one
I also have the rattle
Please show the R some love VW.

This issue needs to be resolved. I love my car, but it is not acceptable for a car this nice, expensive, sporty and carrying the R name to have such an obnoxious rattle - there has to be a solution and we all appreciate your efforts in coming up with one. The MKVI Golf R should not sound like a beat Honda with rocks in the exhaust - please help us!
