Hi guys. I need guidence please. My 2nd gear had a very slight whine below 2000rpm. After 2000rpm i cannot hear it maybe because the engine is louder. It sounds like when you are in reverse but much much softer. Any ideas. Im stressing out abit
Most series one 60 & 75bhp cars whine in second gear , noticeable particularly when crawling in traffic.
After having had 2 x 75 bhp High Ups, that both did it, it was a relief to move to the Tsi's where no such problem manifested itself.
Down to the early boxes being built to aprice & marginal capability I'm afraid. I lodged a complaint with VW UK right from the off, just in case it became a bigger problem.
Ours did it from new, and never got any worse.
Some people did have an improvement by using different oil.
