Fellow LB owners, does your car produce faint knocking sound/noise (in engine compartment) when you accelerate between 1st and 2nd gear? The sound resembles somewhat like you are hitting a empty hollow plastic bottle with a stick. This particular sound is starting to annoy me a lot.

ok, i need to check with you myvi owners on some noises that I'm starting to hear on my 2 weeks old car. Not sure if I'm being paranoid or what.
1. When I press the Aircond button, I hear a loud "tak" sound, followed by the normal aircond humming sound. This "tak" sound is not the usual aircond clicking sound though. I notice it only happens when my car is parked under the hot sun for hours. When i off the aircond and press again to hear the sound, I don't hear it anymore. This has happened since the past few days. I didnt experience this during the 1st week.
2. When I pressed the brake, I hear clicking sound coming from the gear knob. Is this normal? This is my first time owning an Auto car.
I also hear some other sort of like "click" noises coming from either the dashboard or under car but it's intermittent. Are these normal?
Hope to get some replies.
Seems that many of us are facing the ever-usual QC problems. My 2 week old manual gets a lot of vibration from the clutch/brake pedals and gear stick, with slight difficulty to engage into gear. Worse of all the reverse gear, no matter how slow you shift in and how deep you press the clutch, always causes a grinding sound.
My car came with the alignment off - steering is off-center to drive the car straight.
goliath, as your car and mine is about the same age I'll try to listen closely the next time I drive. Does it happen in the morning or after a long drive?
audy, if the click sound is coming from behind/under your cluster meters I suggest taking having the SC to take a look, as IINM there's a batch of defects that causes a sound from it. Try looking a few pages back.
