 :cry: :cry: :cry:
Gonna have to phone VW tomorrow.  Think I have my first fault sounds like the clutch bearing or gearbox is on its way out. 350 miles too.

Symptons:
Drive for over 20 miles, pull up and place gear stick in neutral release clutch.
You can here a quite loud whirr.
Depress clutch whirr no change.
Place in gear, whirr goes away.
Take out of gear and lift clutch back into neutral whirr reappears.
Whirr noise is most prominent in cabin.

There is no whirr first thing in the morning.
There was no whirr after 12 miles.

 :cry: :cry: :cry:

I wonder if they have sold my old car yet.

update: now in seperate topic http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=153115.0

OMG that sounds really bad news? Never heard of this on a brand new car? If it was me I knock the car back , replacement needed asap!! :sick: sorry to hear this!! If you get a replacement car try the DSG? I love the it on mine ,it's what makes the car so good for diesel.

To say the least not impressed.  Lets just hope its as simple as a faulty clutch.
