That will be a bearing gone inside the gearbox.

Ok its getting a bit worse first gear the same but the clutch seems low biting point and not have same noise low revs in others gears still gearbox or clutch ? What are the symptoms of a dual mass flywheel and clutch going ?

Could be the flywheel or maybe a cv joint.

99% sure not a cv Joint but I am thinking flywheel but does that not make a noise when clutch down ?

Hmmm... I'd say throw out bearing which means a new clutch assembly.

You'll have to get a car mechanic to have a listen to the noise to be sure. But the fact it's only in first gear narrows it down somewhat.

Ok took it for MOT passedwith flying colours taking to a VW specialist today to get it looked at. I have noticed the aux belt tensioner is moving a bit too much but that could not be it surely  :shocked:

Ok so that was a waste of time I think he had less idea than me  :angry: Spoke to a mate who is a mechanic he said suggested changing the oil in the gearbox. hopefully that will sort it, has anyone had any probs with the aux belt tensioner causing a noise ? I think I will change it just to make sure
