I've searched this site many times looking for the answer to cure a persistent rattle coming from the glovebox/dashboard passenger side area.
My car has been to my local VW dealership in Leicester where they removed the glovebox and tightened an 'engine management' unit that lurks behind it. Did not fix it.
It then went to the VW dealership in Milton Keynes who had a go and replaced the glovebox itself. Did not fix it.
They had it back again and this time removed the dasboard and tightened all the fixing screws. Did not fix it.
I gave them one last chance and borrowed a courtesy vehicle and said I would return it when they had fixed the rattle! They lent me a Fox which must be the cheapest (and worst) car VW make, and I couldn't wait to get the 'Enterprise' back. They had my car over two days during which they replaced the dashboard itself!! SUCCESS...no more rattles and it's as if I have a new car.
Thank heavens for the VW warranty, it must have cost them around £1000 in claims I reckon.
Hope this helps someone else.
