Title: Loud running noise and funky gears
Post by: DANNYGCL on 07 May 2009, 00:42

My friends MK3 (same as mine 1.6 CL) whilst pulling away just made a clunk and started sounding rough whilst accelerating and idling, engaging gears seems to be hard also, I know the previouse owner ragged the shizzle off it (idiot if you ask me).

What could be the case???

He said a while back that his engine bushes might have gone but the VIBS went all of a sudden. I think the gearbox has given up, it sounds fairly rough!

Do you think, there was a bit of a clunk  :huh:

And his exhaust needs a change but that WOULDNT make his gearing change. I tried and whilst slowing down i changed down to 2nd gear and it just wouldnt engage, came to a stop and i had a fight to put it into 1st  :sad:
