Hello guys,
I’m almost certain my lay shaft bearing in my Audi A3 2.0 TDI has gone/going. In 5th gear, when I take my foot off the clutch it sounds like an awful crunching noise that is there constantly until I either put my foot on the throttle, or I push down on the clutch. I know this is also a sign of low oil, however I have literally just changed that less than 500 miles ago. On top of that, if while I’m driving I rest my foot gently on the clutch, and slightly pump the accelerator, the clutch try’s to ping back up, which I was told was a sign the bearing has some play in it. Also, the gears sometimes can be near on impossible to get in or get out of gear if I’m unlucky.
does anyone know if this sounds like a layshaft bearing issue? If so, is it worth fixing? The car is a 2006, so an old car now, not sure if it’s worth chucking loads of money at it now, or if i should just use this as an excuse to upgrade.
any help would be appreciated.
