"The noise was a rattle on the front passenger side. I understand this has been corrected in later models." I believe this was a product defect during the manufacturing process. "The front-end noise was a result of the struts in the suspension system. Believe may be in the baffling system as 2007 Passat has a similar problem." System makes a pulsating sound at low speeds. Worked fine for a while, noise has returned. There were a lot of comments about leaks around doors in on-line groups." This time they removed headliner and sprayed water on the top.
