« on: 11 January 2013, 14:59 »
Hello can someone help I have a 1998 Mk4 AGU Turbo I have a noise when in first gear. At tick over and every other gear perfect no noise. The way to describe it would be a rumble help please ?

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.
