Just bought a vw up club and it has a rattle when driving between 2k and 3k, seems to clear up after. this only occurs when the car is in gear.

and its only between 2k and 3k in any gear

Hi there,
The 2-3k rev band seems to come up fairly often in problem threads. I know the GTIs (and some 'regular' Up!s) suffered rattling at the rear:

There's also one report of a loose rubber bung in plastic trim:

as well as sycamore seeds falling into the engine bay trim (wrong time of year for those, though):

And some pre-2017 facelift ones had problems with the heat shield (not sure if new ones are still suffering):

Hopefully one of those will be the answer!
