Thanks for doing such a good video, very clear and useful! I had exact same problem but with all the screws and clips in place. Double sided tape fixed it.
Nice! I have some noise but am afraid to take part thinking it would make more noise. Don’t want to risk breaking the plastic pieces cuz I know they don’t come cheap. Most likely the dealers who worked on it didn’t care how they put it back
Excellent video Gerard. I had a noise in the general area of the dash and drop down tray I screwed up the courage to remove the surround. I also wanted to clean the clear plastic covering the central display panel, dusty since I got the car. I removed it, cleaned the central clear plastic panel and noticed one retaining screw was missing. Replaced the screw, put the surround back and all is well. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words Charles
Very good video Sir!! I don't have Passat, but am investigating slight creaky noise on a Golf Mk7 where end of dashboard faces drivers door. I really hate creaky plastic!!!
Cheers Alan, me too mate :)
2013 Passat with same problem. Thanks for your awesome upload. Now I know how to remove this panel safely. I was planning on using an adhesive hatch seal foam tape - also used for door and window insulation. This should make the panel easier to remove in the future, whilst introducing a padded foam insulation against squeaks. I’ll try and remember to come back and leave an update when done.
Thank you Nick 💪💪🙏🙏
any luck in the end ?
@@svezanovac2 idk
Great video. My car has same problem. I am going to use blobs of blu-tack near where the clips are missing!
Best of luck with it 👍
I’ve got the same problem in my 2013 2.0 tdi passat when I’m driving along it’s sounds like something is rattling or loose really annoying noise
Mine has a ticking noise, I did the same thing you did to remove the squeaking noise, I still need to find where the tick noise is coming from I think it is the buttons but sometimes the key does replicate the noise it’s complex cause you have to be driving to really hear it
Having the same issue with my passat, does anyone know what size metal clips are being used or what they are called?
Nice video
I got this problem in my VW Passat CC 2009 Highline brush aluminium
But... I love this car !
Thank you
When you drill into the dash there definetly isn’t wires behind it? I have a cc now with all the metal clips on but seems the actual dash with speedometers is loose so I’ll need to drill the two holes out
What size screws did you use in the end
Mies was the same did the same,also below steering wheel were plastic panel meets centre panel plastic cracking to so wedge some sponge between them and its fixed 👌
Did that Help?
How to remove time clock on VW cc
Seems to be a very common issue on the b7. I'm just back from test driving a 2012 estate b7. Really nice car but that rattle would drive me nuts. I'd be afraid to buy it in case it wasn't fixable lol. I'd end up selling it on at a loss 😆. I hope Oz is treating you well. Love the vids
Cheers Paul, great to see ya back mate 🌟👏👏
Life is good, I certainly can't complain. Hope is well on your end too 👌
2011 vw cc. Same woth missing screws, gauges s moved about 1”
Thanks :)
👍👌
better than the tape...use sound deadener ...and I would suggest just ordering new clips as well...when you tend to change modify and replace the trimming a lot...the clamp force increasingly decreases...lol
My touareg dose this all the time.
Craft felt tape works very well for these rattles. It comes in different thickness. Can we get tape with the VW logo? Really, the VW engineers and designers need to be required to read this stuff and have ice water dumped on their head.
LOL
You can pick up those clips at your local breakers yard for next to nothing.I picked up the lot for a fiver while getting other bits n bobs.
Id tried this put screws in but thers noting for them to screw into so no point
Did you drill out the places to put the screws in? (like in the video) is it the same model of Passat with same looking dash.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage hows things i just punched tru them holes then put screws tru but they wouldn't tighten up it looks like thers noting behind for screws to bite into the car is 151 Passat cc looks same as yr car
@@AL-hl8fq That's the problem then Alan, you needed to drill the hole with a drill bit suitable to use with a self tapping screw. same as if you were fitted a mudflap or number plate to a car. Just punching it out does not have any effect, I created the method to secure it by doing this. I have never heard or seen a Passat that didn't have an area behind suitable to drill.
But if your telling me there is none then maybe make a bracket so you can secure it yourself, it will take a bit longer but will work.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage sound man i just punched a small hole tru that metal bit an put screws tru but they wouldn't tighten up should ther be something behind for screws to go into to tighten
That doesn't bring any screws from factory.
you sound like viper higgins 😂
Thanks 😂😂😂
I came here to say this but you beat me to it
just bought a 2018 passat sel... i wanted to return the damn car after noticing the annoying rattling noises in the dashboard since odometer read only 40 miles
same, but I leased one. Not keeping it with the rattle.....
It's a nice car, but that noise really annoying. You won't have this even in 30 year old Toyota
