Could be duel mass flywheel? If not conrod failure I'd suggest.

Mrharris2 · May 4, 2015

It's coming from the gearbox mount side mainly so hoping flywheel as in literally about to replace it anyway

I went single mass flywheel route from darkside. Worth every penny IMHO.

Does pressing the clutch change anything? Does it get worse as you drive?

JUS3IN · May 4, 2015

hope it is the fly wheel pal, if not im no expert but i would measure down to the pistons through the spark plug holes while each is at tdc (can move them with a socket on the cam wheel) to check for a bent rod. could also drop the sump and see if theres a oil squirter laying in there as i have read they rattle off if a rod bends, you can look up quite easily once the sumps off and oil pump outta the way (oil pump is three nuts) then again ive read you can quite easily see if its bent... no oil warning light i take it as you havent mentioned it?

Can't hear it when driving lee just when stood by the car I've driven it in 3rd 4th and 5th up a hill to get it under strain no knocking that I can hear it doesn't help that the car is loud anyway lol, I've also revved let it drip then quickly revved and no more or less knocking,

Mrharris2 · May 4, 2015

No oil light no nothing just that noise came this afternoon

Mrharris2 · May 4, 2015

That's what I have mark a 7kg smf from LUK and clutch

VAG-Slag · May 4, 2015

SMF can be very noisy with a sloppy gearbox... Check if it makes the noise with the clutch depressed as Lee says

Mark Greenall · May 4, 2015

Mine had initial chatter but is silent now. do you mean you have that to install or already fitted?

Mrharris2 · May 4, 2015

It will be noisy then lol I'm getting a new gearbox soon aswell so will sort that out, it's not in yet it's in my conservatory waiting to be fitted, I've just checked the noise only comes after it's been on for a minute now really strange anyhow got the girlfriend to press in clutch and the noise vanishes what does this mean fellas? Sorry for my dumbness

Mark Greenall · May 4, 2015

If it has single mass flywheel clutch release may be noisy. If it's duel mass. The flywheel is ********

A3-Lee · May 4, 2015

I have a valeo clutch and solid flywheel kit I can get them for a decent price I've had one in mine for 3 + years the only people who say solid flywheels are noisy on a 1.8t have never had one as you get a minimal rattle at most you can barely hear it over the exhaust.

Mrharris2 · May 4, 2015

Sounds like its flywheel ******** then as the original dual mass is in ill get it changed and see how it goes I've just paid 800 for a holiday aswell dohhh lol

A3-Lee · May 4, 2015

Text me if ya need someone to fit one mate

Sorry mate, who the f*ck are you? . . I've had three cars with SMF and I can tell you the noise level is down to the state of the gearbox.

The lighter SMF will make engine RPMs less stable, the fluctuating revs will accentuate gearbox slap...

Stop being a know it all c***. . . Again

He can't, there's no cure for being a ****.

Mrharris2 · May 5, 2015

That escalated quickly, I didn't post to have you both argue so don't, I'm after advice on the car,

A3-Lee · May 5, 2015

Oh look my friends here hi Jardo

..... Slight over reaction from vag slag there if I recall ben (mrharris2) when you heard my car Sunday did you here any gearbox noise? Simply stating my experience from the 5 or 6 cars I have fitted these to no need to have a bitch fit so relax and pop this back in.

Mrharris2 · May 5, 2015

No noise but I'm sure mine will be noisy it's as loose as Pamela Anderson :lmfao:

Sorre Im late had to get enough popcorn for all of us

Yeaaaahhh... To be fair, I was a little drunk and wan't about to listen to someone basically saying I didn't know what I was on about. . . And you weren't "Simply stating your experience" what you actually said was "the only people who say solid flywheels are noisy on a 1.8t have never had one" which implies you think I'm chatting sh!t, does it not?

Anyway, my point remains the same... SMF can be very noisy depending on state of gearbox

Blown out of proportion for a comment that has been taken the wrong way ..... Let's just leave it here and agree we both could of put it better most I've fitted them to have been 120000 mile plus just luck of the draw I guess

Mark Greenall · May 5, 2015

I must have a good box I was expecting chatter but literally have non lol. Makes a change I usually have all the bad luck. good luck with the clutch mate.

Mrharris2 · May 5, 2015

Thanks the bloke I spoke to last week said 140 fitted and he's done a few things to my car and well known mechanic so he's the man
