iv been told by a friend it could be the clutch release bearing
 
iv been told by a friend it could be the clutch release bearing

Release bearings dont whine in 1 gear, the make a noise unless the clutch is depressed, some make a squeek or a squeek, some grumble, sometimes can be felt through the pedal.

To sum it up, its VW again making things cheaply, like the coil packs, and the green cap gearboxes where the rivits shear and blow a hole in the casing. Nearly everything they made from 1999 - 2005 ish are all cack and are riddled with faults.
 
Well finally got the car back yesterday and all is fine. They replaced the bearing and the slave and relevant pipe work as well as compleatly replacing 3rd gear, casing and other internal's and the tick noise? has gone and is perfect. Warrenty paid the full bill which was 1100 pounds:clap: Got a 500 mile running in period before the remap.... happy days.
 
Well here we go again, big rattle coming from the :censored:gearbox!! When clutch is down it goes away off the clutch big rattle. Sounds like big end rattle!!!! Booked back in for monday, im gonna kill some :censored: I swear....
 
knockie rattle noise, loudish as well. Sick to death of it, as long as they dont try to say its my fault as it wasnt like that when they got it..
 
Update

dealer has just rang and said it could be dual mass!! Like some of you didnt already know. Now my problem is they should foot the bill as they had the box off and there was **** all wrong with the dual mass whne it went in for its first repair under warranty. Need some advise on how far I should stick to my guns..

how can it be the clutch when the whining is in 3rd gear only ?
 
The whinning has gone but since stripping and them rebuilding and putting it back together again its knocking its head off. Wasnt knocking before..
 
after only 3 weeks of having the car and making a weird noise in 3rd :) tonight mine just went crunchh then redecorated the road with gear fluid, this better come under warranty
 
im not sure tbh i just no its geabox related and it started of the same symptoms as this thread, weird noise in 3rd. The car now wont move in any way not even a mm. I would guess that the gearbox has been royaly shafted.

Ouch that gearbox is scrap as it sounds like cogs have been flying :cartman:

On a more serious note, you should have questioned the noise as soon as it started.
 
The noise was there from when i bought the car i think i just didnt notice, and after reading on here people said theirs had displayed similar symptoms over a prolonged period of time i guessed nothing would come of it. Im half glad it happened as the warranty ends in 2 months and they wouldnt fix it for a weird noise, they might for this though
