Gearbox noise/whine

[dandanibiza]

Does anyone have a solution to this as I don't really want to drive the car around if I'm causing more damage?

This seems to be more common than I thought. It's definitely a whine in 4th mainly on light throttle and if you put your foot down it goes. I might get onto seat and see if they will tell me what it is

Exactly the same situation as with mine. It can't be the box surely as my gears are as tight as anything and smooth but it only does it in 4th?

No doubt Seat will try and talk some dribble and it say you need a new box unless there actually an honest and trustworthy dealers which is hard to find these days

My gears are tight and smooth too. It's obviously some sort of bearing in the gearbox.

As before just light prodding on accelerator and you get the noise. (why mainly in 4th though)?

Getting it coming out of junctions too now so defo not wheel bearings. I'm scared though as Pew said just for the gearbox bearing its £300! Isn't it just worth gettin the whole thing reconditioned whilst it's there?

I know when my friend had his LCR he heard the faintest of whines and it turned out the gearbox was on its way out. Mine is LOUDER cos I can hear mine but I couldn't his oh and that was £800.

Noticed it even more now the new exhaust is on. There is no loss of power at all. Strange

Bum for update from dandanibiza

Anyone had it looked at?

FYI guys

had the Cupra in at seat today, gearbox is out and the release bearing is definitely the faulty culprit.

I also need a new clutch so my bill is £550 but for just the bearing you'll be looking 2-£300

Well I'm glad you actually got it looked at, shame about the cost though. I'm guessing the whining sound has now ceased?

Thanks for the update.

Yup she's nice and quiet, sooooo much nicer to drive with the track rods fixed as well, no more knocking

Mine has the same whining problem.
May look at VR6 clutch and G60 flywheel when it needs changing

That stuff seems to be mentioned quite a bit when searching gearbox threads.

It does nothing to fix the whine this thread is about, but it is a good oil for your gearbox when the time comes to replace it

Hey, trying to bring this thread back alive!

I have this same problem, whine in 4th and 1st 54 plate cupra 63k, and my friend toasted my clutch when I let him have a drive the other day, gonna stick in the vr6 clutch and g60 fly, what is the bearing that is causing the whine though?
On this thread people have said the release bearing in the gearbox, is this the release bearing in the clutch kit or is it the throw out bearing in the gearbox?

Cheers if anyone knows!

Go for a revise. Try taking it to a gearbox revisor or something like that.
I did an enquiry for my previous car. It was €650,- without VAT.
Thats a REALLY good price for taking the gearbox out, revise it and putting it back in.
Think that if you take it to the specialist it'l cost you around de 800/900 quid.
