Shipping pucks removed from suspension? Just had a local guy with a 2017 Sport tell me this happened to him after taking delivery. Worth a check!
Sounds like suspension noise to me.
I had the driver side axle replaced today. Noise persisted.
Tech thought noise could be coming from the dif, but vw regional tech is going to visit the car tomorrow or Friday. According to the service manager, vw has not had this issue previously.
I’m trying to be understanding and calm, but I’m anxious to have this problem fixed and have the new ride back. Obviously I’m not completely happy to have a car with 1500 miles disassembled and reassembled so much. But at this point, there’s no other option.

Well, my story is the exact same as yours. They are ordering a new driver side axle, should be here Monday or Tuesday and couldn't guarentee that would fix it but "it's a starting point". He then said that if that doesn't solve the issue, a VW regional tech will be taking a look at it.
They have the car back together and said I'm good to drive. What damage can I do? Is it safe? I'm not a happy camper at this point.
It seems like I’m one day ahead of you on repairs. I haven’t had any update today, so assuming the regional tech did not make it. Hopefully they will tomorrow.
I hope the axle fixes the issue for you, and you can put the repair behind you. Good luck.

We’ll see. They didn’t sound very confident. Going to get the car after work. They insist I’m good to drive it until the part arrives next week.
I’ve been driving with the noise for about 1k, so I don’t think you’ll have an issue with another week.

Update on my car in service. Regional tech visited, drained my transmission fluid, found significant metal. They are replacing the transmission and car will be ready for pick up on Monday.
Of course I’m pretty disappointed, but at the same time I understand stuff happens with all cars. Don’t take my posts as complaining. I just want to share info and hoping to have the car fixed up like new.
