2018 RS3 Rattle
Anyone else noticing a rattle immediately after starting up their RS3? It seems to go away after the car warms up a bit but is pretty pronounced for the first few minutes of operation and seems to to intensify as I use the brake pedal. Sounds like it’s coming from under the virtual cockpit.
Hoping it’s just something not properly snapped into the interior but wanted to see if anyone else was facing the same issue...?

A few videos of the sound as I was leaving the parking lot today... Hoping this isn't mechanical in nature.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas but I'll probably be dropping by my dealer pretty soon.

In the B9 S5 forum a few have had similar rattles that stop... I believe Glisse (?) has stated it is a normal expected sound as the ABS engages? Do some searching in that forum... I don't think you have a problem.. and it supposedly is something that goes away after 3-5k miles?

Unrelated to your rattle -- but I've had my RS3 for two weeks and also have the same "Engine speed limited to 5500 rpm warning" that you have. It appears only after the car has been off for an extended period of time, and then goes away after about 5 minutes of driving.
Is this a common issue? From searching around it seemed to be an issue with the oil pressure sensor, I was going to bring it in to get checked out.
