5th Gear Whine!!
« on: 08 April 2008, 13:16 »
My 8v golf has started to whine but only, as the title suggests, in fifth gear.  Does this mean something has broken or is about to break or does the gearbox maybe need a wee top up?

CHange your gearbox oil first. Apart from warn 2nd gear Syncro 5th gear is the next thing to go in these boxes.

The whine might be the Mrs in the Passenger seat ?
