I brought my High up brand new in Nov 13 and after only doing just over 4500 miles, I experienced problems with the gear box when reversing. The problem became so severe that the crunching noises were constant and I ended up take the car back to the VW garage. They soon diagnosed the problem: that the clutch had gone completely and that the clutch plates had also gone and problems with the gear box. After negotiating the Vw garage fixed the whole thing and out in the new clutch and mended the gears. It surprised me a car that hadn't even done 5000 miles and it needed a new clutch. It appears it was a manufacturing problem has anyone else experienced this? Richard
