90K on the clock, The performance of the car is as good as it ever was. I gave been advised by the garage I use (not VW garage, just a good honest mechanic), that I require to have gearbox stripped and new bearing(s) fitted, Not too expensive  at around £450-£500, I feel this might not be necessary but have been warned by him that delay could cost me a  great deal more. I thought it might be a turbo issue which is why I consulted him in the first place, but he seems very confident in his diagnosis.

Has anyone else got this noise, not loud or unpleasant, just a bit like a tram or underground train moving off..

Your urgent assistance would be most gratefully received.

I've got this too on mine which is on 49k miles. It's been discussed in the past on here that this is quite normal...but it still bugs me!

Mine's in at VW on Friday, not sure if a dare ask them to take a look!

Thanks for the reply Dave, although I seem to have put the wind up you, rather that being reassured myself. `but thanks anyway. by the way your car looks identical  tp my GTI. I have had it for 5 trouble free years and am not quite used to this.

Cheers, Neil

Hahaha not at all. Mine's been bugging me for ages but others have said it's OK. Mine is under warranty with VW until October, but I have to pay for any exploratory work. I just feel sure they won't find anything. I did get a DSG service around 40k from them and they seemed to think it was running fine.

Mines at 105k and it whines in the low gears until it either changes into 3rd or 4th or gets to a certain speed.. then either the engine/exhaust and road noise become to loud to hear the whine or it fades out, not sure.

The DSG shifts nicely though and its recently had a DSG service.
