My 7 GTI did this from new. Took it in a few times but never solved it.

My 7.5 didn't do it, thankfully.

The first mk7 Golfs had a manufacturing defect with the front chassis leg attachment to the body shell. Lots of missing spotwelds that caused creaking.

It was in the 1990 Golf advert.

Reassuring.

And they haven't thought to recall and fix them?

I believe it was a ‘fix on moan’.
