Gear change Rattle - Manual

[K4MR4N]

I have an Audi A3 8V 2014 S Line Manual.

Whenever I change gears there is a loud clanking/rattling sound coming from under the car. It is quite noticeable when the windows are open and on a quiet road. It's strange, when clutch is pressed and gear changes in especially the lower gears, it's audible clanking.

The car has only done 30,000 miles and is not really trashed about. So not sure why such a new car would make this sound. I don't think there is sound at higher gears 5-6 but I guess I would never of heard it anyway as it's higher speed driving.

has anyone had this before?

Could always check the linkage at the top of the gear box, it's under the air filter. Or maybe it's the exhaust or heat shield. Is the car quattro?

I'll have to take to Garage, i'm no position to try and diagnose myself. No it's normal FWD.
