Out of interest and if any of you know can there be any damage sustained to either side of the drive terrain from the two points? i.e. the crack and gearbox?

By the way I'm still waiting for the flywheel to come in and apparently there have been some changes to the flywheel itself from LUK and their apparently a 'far more reliable unit' in the dealer words.

funny that I've recently learnt that the early 8P S3's 2007 had LUK clutches and there were issues, after that they changed to Sachs which are apparantly a better unit, not sure of the exact change over date though

Got the car back the other day and all seems OK, seems a bit more 'notchy' between some gear changes but when it starts clunking I'll start to worry but the down side of it now is that its got to back in for more work, seems they've managed to cock something up when re-assembling the unit and every morning when its cranked over theres one hell of a whine coming from the alternator (sounds that area) so whether its the bearings or belt to tight god knows.

Thought I'd give you all an update.

Its gone back in again today for checks but it turns out the whine is coming from the box. Any ideas what it sounds like it could be related to?

Its a manual, no it only does it from cold every morning, it'll only do it the once that day then you'll have to wait for the next one the catch the little critter again.

thats not the clutch then if its a manual and the best way to hear it when cold would be to get a long metal bar and put it on top of the box and then put your ear on the top of the bar and get someone to start the car and then listen as the sound should go up the bar and gie you an idea. I would think to get vw to change the oil in the box as there could be some crap in there and then they could check for anything bad in the oil.
