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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. 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,

  • Brief whine noise when switching from 1st to 2nd gear

    Hey all,

    I was hoping to get some advise and opinions on the following issue I've started to notice:
    Whenever I accelerate a bit harder and the car (automatic) switches from 1st to 2nd gear, I hear a brief whine noise (almost similar to what you hear on those suped up Subaru Imprezas ).
    I imagine something might be grinding in the transmission. What's your advise here? Bring to a mechanic asap? Or could it be something else to check first?
    Hope it's not DSG related, but also noticed it's sometimes slightly slower in going into reverse (My previous Audi had a lot of issues like this that were gearbox related).

    Any advise and input welcome

    Cheers,
    Jeroen
