Hi, I've got a 5 month old Golf GTi 1.9 PD 150 which has developed a rattle from the dashboard area on cold starts. It's a metallic rattle - literally like a loose component and only happens when the engine is completely cold. It lasts for the first 3 to 4 miles - as soon as the temperature gauge starts to move it disappears. It seems to depend on how cold the ambient temperature is - it was worst over the Winter when it was freezing, but now the weather is getting warmer, it's not so bad.
As it is related to temperature, I thought that it may be a component on the climate control system but I'm not too sure. Anybody experienced something similar or got any ideas on what it might be ? I'm not too worried about it but it would be nice to know.
