Volkswagen Golf MkVI 2.0 GTTDi - Door noises - JVG

Hi, hope anyone can help.

I have a 2009 Golf GTTDi 2.0 and it has noises emanating from the doors.

It seems to be a creaking sound rather than metallic and it just does not stop. The noise can be enhanced by going over the sleeping policemen road humps at an angle so the chassis twists, it is as though the trim and bodywork is rubbing and it is on both front doors as best as I can tell.

The noise is bad on all but the smoothest roads and for a car of the cost I paid, unless there is a fix, I won't be owning it for long.

The garage has had it twice now and could not cure it. Before I raise the roof with them for the 3rd and last time, does anyone know what it could be? Apart from the constant noise, the car is brilliant, especially the DSG box.

Jim

Interesting one. Maybe the door isnt secured on as tightly as it should be? Forcing it to move about.

I had a weird noise on a car i had in the door once, took the door casing off to find a marble rattling around it.

To this day i still have no idea how it got there.
