Checked the front two wheels and they are '#0391K0601025AC'#039.

Hey guys, recently I did some work on my car to replace the flywheel. Upon starting and driving it for about 5 kms and returning home, I noticed a very loud ticking sound from the engine bay as I reversed into the driveway.

I had problems with my DSG shifting randomly on a regular basis in D mode last year. This was in my well serviced and looked after stock 08 MK5 gti.

After describing the symptoms to several auto gearbox '#039speciali
