Edition 30 DSG Noise from Gearbox
« on: June 23, 2015, 08:39:04 pm »
Recently my car was nudged in a car park whilst in park. There was no external damage, But it hesitated going into reverse, however it did go in at the 3rd attempt. Ever since im now getting a high pitched rotary squeak on lift off. But not when its changing gear. Been to VW main dealer for insurance claim they quoted for new gearbox, but their insurance isn't playing ball. Is there anything simple it could be, before I go spending lots of money!

I'd get a proper diagnosis from a gearbox specialist. VW suggesting a new gearbox straightaway is ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly. Im still fighting the insurance at the moment. If I have to pay myself I'll definitely be doing that.

Could just be the Parking Lock (Pawl) that has been damaged. VW should still diagnose it properly.  Probably suggest a new engine if it ran out of fuel... :rolleye:

I sorted this in the end. I changed the PCV for the latest revision and it cured the noise imediately. Wasnt the gearbox at all.

Very true. My mk4 got side swipped by a Polish Lorry on the A14 two weeks ago, they're still not admitting liability.

Unfortunately not, finally got the payment for the right off, but still no admission of liability. AXA on AXA though, so I think theyre trying to play silly games.

Hope you got what you wanted?.

I never allow idiots to blame me when it's their fault ad it's happened a few times obey the last 7 years. two x di**heads who thought they'd play game with me but with a stern letter my insurance accepted it wasn't my fault both times.
