pitch3110 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Chaps, I am noticing that first gear is increasingly being a pain to engage. The gearbox has always been a bit 'notchy' but seems to be getting worse. Anyone else experiencing probs (2.0TDI, manual) Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Could be just the cold weather making the gearbox oil thicker. If it's still difficult when the weather warms up (next week?) then might be worth looking into further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitch3110 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Cheers Petrol. & now you come to mention it I was up norrrrrrrrrrrrrrrth last week visiting big son at uni in York, + clutch judder was noted AGAIN. Might try the dealer once again to see if they ack... my clutch prob & the ever increasing drone from the steering. You never know they may even admit there is an issue...........pink things & the sky come to mind though. thanks again bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maersk Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 The groaning/droning from the steering on slight lock is an acknowledeged fault, which has a new rack as the solution..... The 'juddder' from the clutch, as opposed to, the gearbox suggests early dual masss fywheel failure....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
