Crackling noise from behind storage compartment

After a while, 2 weeks or month, I started to hear some annoying sound but only when you are idle - waiting for the green light or similar. It happens only on low RPMs like 600-800 and it's gone when you accelerate above 1000 RPMs. Always happend when at morning you switchin on egnition.

Open bonnet and look at top left corner.

The fuel line 3 (see picture) is crackling with top grey hose.

You can move fuel line 3 to empty holder in the middle. This is "after" picture, before that middle hose was in most right position.

Update (2012-02-26)
When the sound came back in November 2011, I've posted the best solution so far.

  1. Hello. Here in Portugal, dealer could not find this problem. I solved changing not position were the fuel line was, but changing area were it was attached to the holder, put it more down.

    1. As I understand there is no dealer that can find this problem :-) Putting it more down doesn't helped me and issue came back after a month or so.

      Did you saw this post? http://skoda-fabia-israel.blogspot.com/2011/11/rattling-noise-is-back.html A piece of foam fixed this noise forever now.
