floppyman 0 Posted November 19, 2011 Have you had a look at the gear box oil? Is it loud? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadoVirgin 0 Posted November 19, 2011 Lol I've changed the oil twice now and it whines in first gear plus I think I have a noisy release bearing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87 Jetta 16v 0 Posted November 19, 2011 I think most vw boxes make a slight noise, I have had 020, 02A, 02J and 02M boxes, and they have all made very light noise if you really listen out for them at certain speeds. That said, if you do have a problem box, I have a spare in very good working order, no crunches, no whining other than the afore mentioned very light sound. I am in Reading, Berkshire if that helps. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
