MY19.5 162Tsi Highline - Low speed gearbox knocking is reverse/switching

[Simonr23]

Maybe the diesel has a smidge more off-idle torque and makes the feeling worse? Past idle I know the petrol has more torque, but just spit-balling the idea.

You have the diesel?
I have the TSi

Same problem with mine, TSi. It’s really frustrating hearing it all the time, but as others have said, its just normal.

That and the soft clunk/thud you hear when you hit a bump more so at low speed, Ive also been told thats normal too. Just lots of noises to try and ignore.

My 162 Tig had the same noises. 3 seperate times I took a mechanic for a drive, each time. “Yeh normal”.
For a 60k car, that ain’t normal. Next time the car was serviced I was told the gearbox was rat****. (8000klms) warrantied a brand new DQ500, not fixed, replaced. My car no longer makes the same ****ty, rattling noises at low speed change down or pulling into driveways/reversing.

Nice one.
Hope at 6k-8k it doesn't start again.
