Knistern under Defrost-Ausströmer beim Passat 3C

Hi

My Trekker is driving me crazy.
My is very diligent in trying to teach the dog proper manners, but the interior keeps inventing new things.

Currently, it's somewhere under the defrost vents - that is, the grille that ventilates the windshield.

The has already installed the that was attached to the control panel, but NOT the individual that was not available separately - but I was quite sure about that.

Normally, you drive for about 5 minutes, and then each suspension wave (in combination with the Sportline suspension) makes a "knack" sound. If it gets really bad, even the otherwise very refined engine can produce a "knrnrnrnrnrnrnrnks" sound.

It sounds like a Climatronic button that is either opening or has some play in its mechanism.


Has anyone experienced similar occurrences or, specifically, heard anything related to 3C before?

Thank you.

Right there, where it snaps, is one of the clips 8E0 857 117.

Does anyone have a picture of a 3C WITHOUT a control panel?

Then I could better visualize the internal workings and work more effectively.
Radio and the glove compartment were already outside, when I upgraded the footwell lights.

Thank you.

Poor quality, but maybe something meaningful can be found?

Thank you very much.

(Very similar to me: Climatronic, latte macchiato on cloth, manual transmission )

Unfortunately, the exact "problem area" is not very clear.

Do you have any more pictures?

Here is a wanted photo of the currently suspected individual (number 2):

Unfortunately, nothing more found, sorry.

Who knows how these brackets are installed?

So, which claws reach where in?

This thing is driving me crazy.

Now I've managed to wedge a piece of material between the disc and the control panel, and the rattling has stopped.

Now, with strong ground irregularities, it "knacks" to the LEFT! (but only much, much less often and slightly quieter). Nevertheless, you can sometimes simulate it by hitting the gear lever.

If anyone has a TPL or idea... please share it

Okay.

Now I know what "it" looks like "down there".

So, es kann eigentlich nur die Klammer in der Karosse sein, oder?

Okay,

New theory:
Maybe it's the airbag bracket frame, which is secured to the dashboard with self-locking nuts.

The airbag can be removed with the built-in dashboard... this is the next step.
