Title: 99 1.8T Gear Change Spinning whoooose Noise
Post by: m4nesh on 08 April 2005, 16:17: Hello Chaps

Need some help...

Driving to and from work in my '99 1.8T I noticed under acceleration when I change gears (at the point when you push the clutch down) there is a noise which sounds like something not spinning freeley coming from underneath th car. Its a kind of whoooooose noise but you can make out its something not spinning freely. Anybody had a problems similar?

Just hope its not expensive :cry:. I have noticed it doesn't happen when slowing down or or go down through the gears. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Cheers
