So i had an issue with the sliding door and I couldn't close it a while back. Called the AA out and they dismantled the mechanism so that I could at least close the door. It went back to VW and they said nothing was wrong. The door now opens, closes, locks and soft close mechanism works fine.
However, there is a distinct metallic clank when I pull the door closed. I have adjusted the position of the striker pin and I have not been able to totally remove the metallic clank. I have adjusted the top and bottom rubber buffers...but to no avail.
Oh yes, I found the rear if the door has dropped on the sliding door guide by about 1cm...so I have removed the sag by using a 8mm Allen key where I have indicated with the arrow.
Has anyone experienced this issue with the metallic noise and have you got rid of it? Really doing my head in trying to fix this.
Cheers
