i own a cupra 290 which i had a dsg service done by vw at 38k as i was noticing a chatter type noise as the car goes from 2nd to 1st. i have managed to replicate this noise by putting the car into drive and revving it while keeping the brake held down. could someone advise me what it could potentially be, the car is off in next friday to be looked at under used approved warranty but i am concerned they will try pull the wool over my eyes.

here is the video i got of it.

 
This seems similar?

 
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but did you ever find out what the cause was?

My car (same gearbox) makes an identical noise.

Hi mate, I had a brand new gearbox and flywheel and also replaced engine mounts and made no difference, if anything the only thing that made a difference was replacing the subframe but was still present

So the sound is normal?

Thank you for the reply - must be just a 'characteristic' if yours still does it after all that work.
As you say it's a pretty awful noise, would be interesting to know how many others are affected by it.
