Possible Gearbox issue this time....
Only had the thing running A1 for 2 month after having the crankshaft sensor done
Heard a little clunk and the car started to hold back (only a little), parked up and the shop and noticed a trail of oil running down the street after the car. Started up Ok and no issues climbing the gearbox up to 4th, then came an even more noticable "clunk".
Pulled up and looked under the car an oil was dripping from just under the engine block (black oil).... thought Id risk it back to my mothers (1/2 mile from where I was) and the car just lost it.... rolling along at 20mph and unable to select ANY gear
Currently dumped on a public carpark with a notice in the window to say it hadnt been abandoned and it will be recovered ASAP.
Now Ive had no slipping gears, no clunking or anything up until today. No slipping of clutch or any warning lights?!?! Could the gearbox just "Die" like that or could there be a slim chance that its something that could keep her out of the knackers yard?!?!
Im gutted... was just getting used to opening her up on open roads and enjoying the nippiness of my GTI but again she's gone and had me
