Hello,
I have a used 2001 VW Cabrio GLS that I purchased from a single owner in 2007. It's had a few issues, including the rear wheel ABS sensor go out, that's too costly to replace. Since the winter in Seattle in 2009, I have noticed a rattling noise when starting the engine cool, that can be heard directly from the center of the interior of the car. I am not sure if it's coming from the engine or the drive train. The "Check Engine" light has been on and off for these last few months. After a time of about 10 minutes, once the engine has warmed up, the noise goes away and it drives as normal. I notice the problem more in the mornings, or if it's been sitting unused during the day for a long period of time.
