Replacement dsg gearbox options

[Jons1001]

Just to update on this I spoke to a few specialists but have not had it diagnosed yet. However the knock/scraping noise is now occuring after say 20 mins driving. The knock I would say is best described as a clunking noise but it 100% sounds like it's from the rear. Could this still be the gearbox or are there any other likely suspects?

Not on a stock mk5 GTi, because it is FWD & the gearbox is attached to the side of the engine.
If it's coming from the back it could be a wheel bearing.

Thanks for the reply. Would this make sense though for the scraping noise only to occur when warmed up and going from Neutral to first? (Has happened in neutral itself on one occasion). Also sorry for being a nob but how would I check this?

Maybe you have more than one issue with your car? Gearbox noise will come from the front of the car.
Rear of the car, it could be a wheel bearing, tyre rubbing, brake disc rubbing the pads of they're no longer true, dead shock absorbers, worn bushes... the list is endless I'm afraid.
If you genuinely know nothing to little about cars it's probably best to go to a trained mechanic and have them check it out for you.

Cheers, it has been to the garage for a full check of suspension and passed. This was after I hit a kerb badly but I'd had the grinding/scraping noise before this. Not the knocking though so as you say it could be two issues.

With the garage telling me everything on the suspension is fine I'm just trying to check anything else that could be the source of it.

Hard to tell from a description or a recording. Seeing and hearing the sounds first hand are the best way to help.
