GTI DSG Gearbox Whine
« on: 13 November 2022, 15:47 »
Hi,

Is it normal to have gearbox whine, mainly noticeable at medium revs and in manual mode with the window down?

Thanks

Welcome DaveFran  :smiley:

I’d say not normal but then again I never drive with the windows down.

Thanks for the reply.

I have discovered it does it in P, so I think its actually the engine that is just very 'whiney'.
