I don’t own a 102 but if VW are telling you it is normal I’m sure they have another 102 on site you can listen to and make a comparison.
Sounds like the DMF rattling?
Is it just in neutral it does it?...
I’ve noticed my 102 making a similar noise idling from cold (7k miles). I have no idea if it’s normal but I got a message up saying it’s due it’s first service in 30 days so I can ask them then
Sounds like DMF... defo if the noise stops with clutch play.
Why did you have a new DMF at 12k?
What was previous problem?
Who did the job.... Warranty at main dealers?
Maybe take it back to them and ask whats going on.
the DMF has sprung loads weights.
But its odd that originally they make no noise...
Then start making noise.
Not sure at what point VWCV call the DMF failed..... as they seem to start making small noise when cold.
Which gets worse over the miles , age.
So essentially you have to take the risk not them, great service!
The way it sounds now I don’t think many people would buy it, as I said before I don’t believe this is normal.

Shouldn't the above exclude the flywheel??If the clutch is pressed it stops then returns when letting of the clutch.
