Major help required

gazbutS3:
funny that I've recently learnt that the early 8P S3's 2007 had LUK clutches and there were issues, after that they changed to Sachs which are apparantly a better unit, not sure of the exact change over date though

snapey:
Got the car back the other day and all seems OK, seems a bit more 'notchy' between some gear changes but when it starts clunking I'll start to worry but the down side of it now is that its got to back in for more work, seems they've managed to cock something up when re-assembling the unit and every morning when its cranked over theres one hell of a whine coming from the alternator (sounds that area) so whether its the bearings or belt to tight god knows.

Thought I'd give you all an update.

snapey:
Its gone back in again today for checks but it turns out the whine is coming from the box. Any ideas what it sounds like it could be related to?

MAT ED30:
sounds like there is not enough oil in the box or the clutch pack is fooked

snapey:
Thats fantastic, its just had a new clutch 200 miles ago, seems to be never ending with this car lol.
