They arn't supposed to crunch at all, mine doesnt and it came out of a low miler town driven 16v :)
Redline MTL is best for 020 boxes and MT90 is best for 02a boxes.

Just bought a 147 thou miler and have no crunching when either hot or cold. Think im gonna treat it anyway as a preventative measure after reading these threads  :undecided:

Mine was fine on purchase but 3 months later and its started crunching.  However as the drive shaft seal is leaking it may just need topping up, will see how I go before I do too much damage.

149K and no crunch at all... but it does whine, mainly in 2nd, which is annoying  :sad:

I do treat him nice though, car's only been in two families, mine for the last 6 years, so I know it's always been treated well  :smiley:

My last Mk 2 gti used to have the 2nd gear crunch (only when cold) at 75,000 miles. My sisters started at about 90,000 miles and my current one at about 100,000 miles. Mine has now covered about 180,000 miles and its no worse than it was at 100k - as others have said, it clears when warm and in fact if you do a careful change when cold, you can avoid it altogether - you just get used to it.

Don't know if that helps.
