Mk6 GTI Does this sound normal?

Hi guys,

I'm after some confirmation that my Mk6 GTI (DSG) sounds normal.

Bought the car roughly 6 months ago with 40k on it, I've always noticed this whining noise in and out of gear.

Can anyone else with a mk6 confirm that this engine sounds normal?

Yes, it's perfectly normal. Relax.

Hard to tell from the audio on the video. Sounds ok from what i can hear - but the audio isnt great. If it doesnt sound right to you then i would suggest taking it to a dealership and getting them to check it.

Water pump failures seem to be quite common on the GTI's and result in a whining/squeaking noise - so it might be better to check and be safe than sorry.
