Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    New member - MKV TDI

    Hi all,

    Just purchased my 06 2.0TDI Golf a few weeks ago and thought I'd join up to gleam some information off you all .

    Thanks

    Welcome.

    Is it Comfortline or a Sportline?

    Cheers,
    Michael.

      Hmm. Can't post in the main forums yet. I'll ask a question here then.

      My golf is making a whining noise upon take off. The best way for me to describe the sound is to liken it to the power steering in some cars, where it just whines a little when at full lock at low speed - in the carpark, for example.

      It appears to be coming from the clutch as the noise only occurs when the pedal is in use and at a particular point in the travel. The problem is intermittant and seems to be random.

      Initially I asked the dealer who I bought the car from to fix it and so they sent the car to VW in Newstead but it was returned. They claimed that there was no sound when they took it for a long test drive. This was last week. Since then the sound appears to be happening more frequently and may be a little louder than before.

      I realise that this is not much information but what do you think it is that could be causing this sound? I really want it fixed but I can imagine that the dealership would be reluctant to replace the clutch if at all possible!

      I should also add that I have just sent away to have the VW extended warranty (that the previous owner purchased) transferred to my name.

      Thanks for you help,
