Default Rattle behind glove box. Only at idle, with heat settings on CC

The dealer has the 3 today looking for the above rattle. They feel confident as to its cause. The rattle sounds like a plastic bit stuck in the CC fan. Is there a service bulletin for this? I'll post an update when I get the car back.

I noticed this on Saturday also, for the first time. Never happened again.

I have this same symptom (2007 2.0T). Was it the fuel line?

Default Rattle gone. There is a service bulletin for the fix. The Service Manager was a little

coy when I asked what they did. The service invoice is being mailed to me. If any parts are mentioned I'll post. Car was in for two hours.

have same problem, but dealer denies hearing it.
Was there a service bulletin anyone can provide? (can't find anything)

Symptom: rattling sound, seemingly from behind glovebox. happens at idle with our without brakes. Giving blip of throttle to raise RPMs slightly alleviates it. Wife and I find it totally annoying.

Thanks for any help. I need it.
