Hey all. I got a 2020 GTI on saturday and have almost 300 miles on it. This noise on start up is normal or should I get it checked out? Also sorry about my co workers car thats on next to mine with the loud exhaust lol. You can hear mine starting up and the noise happens then goes away instantly.

Hey! I have a 2019 GTI and it makes the same noise. My assumption is it has something to do with warming up the catalytic converter as fast as possible... Seems to only happen on a cold start for me.

Had this noise on my 6MT and now have it on a new '19 GTI. Only lasts like 10 seconds on startup.

Are you referring to the whine or the rattle sound?

Either way, mine sounds the same at startup. I've got a 2020 GTI as well with around 1,300 miles.
When I bought it, it had exactly 8 miles on it and the sound has not changed. Actually mentioned it to the dealership when I picked it up and they stated "that sound is normal, they all make that" 🤷‍♂️ I can confirm that one of the other GTI's they had in stock sounded similar.
