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,

  • T5 5speed Gearbox

    I have a 05 T5 Transporter 2.0l with a 5 speed gearbox 105000km. It has got a problem with the gearbox.

    After driving for about 20 minutes from cold, it develops a crunch as it goes into 3rd gear form 2nd or 4th, by the sound or I would think it is a syncro. However if it is a syncro why is it that it only does it when it gets warm?

    My local mechanic put some new oil in it & it now takes 20 minutes instead of 10, is there some special oil I can use? has anybody else had the same problem?

    I am trying to avoid getting the box overhauled if it is not required.
