S3 DSG Rattle

[Henry1302]

Afternoon,
I've recently bought a DSG s3 and absolutely love it but there is a slightly concerning noise, it happens when in start stop traffic at low speeds, when the engine is on tick over and in 1st gear there is a rattle/knocking noise coming from upfront, it goes as soon as the car comes to a complete stop and there is no sign of it at higher speeds either.
Not sure if this is normal or not, the noise is by no means loud but definitely there, the car is going in for some servicing next week so was going to get them to look into it as well, but thought it would be good to see if anyone else has experienced the same noise.

Do you have a stock exhaust? Could be the downpipe touching the prop.

I do have a stock exhaust, is it a trait of a stock or aftermarket exhaust?

 

[DeckedS3]

No, but it happened to me

 

[Henry1302]

OK- I shall have a look over the weekend, any area specifically I should look?

Bottom of the downpipe between the gearbox and engine.

Thanks mate, I'll see what it looks like tomorrow

Get the box serviced, servicing a dsg box does wonders
