Hi Everyone,
So Im at a loss really as to what is causing a noise in my 1.4 TDI AMF. Im attaching a link to a recording and would really welcome suggestions. Which I'll then feedback to the mechanic who is also a bit mystified at this stage.
Basically there are two symptoms.
1) A rattle when idling that disappears when the clutch is pressed.
2) A rattle when accelerating in 5th and 6th.
This rattle started soon after I had an MYP gearbox and new clutch fitted. We assumed it was a bearing in the gearbox. I then purchased a PTU gearbox (from a 2014 Audi A3 1.6 tdi 6-speed manual with 47078 miles).
When fitting the audi A3 gearbox we found the clutch slave cylinder had also failed so we replaced that and the clutch as it had fluid on it.
Annoyingly the sounds are exactly the same. A rattle when idling and a rattle when accelerating but only in 5th and 6th.
Im hoping someone may be able to suggest something. Id particularly welcome any feedback from anyone who fitted an MYP or other 6 speed box to an AMF, even if just to say it's working fine for them.
The sound was recorded in the cabin. It's not easy to hear when outside due to the noise of the engine.
P.S. (there's a microswitch or something gone in the door so thats the clicking on restart at 33sec. Ignore that)
Audio begins with clutch pressed.
Clutch released at about 2sec and pressed again at 7sec, released at 10.
listen to the sound here
Any ideas greatly welcomed.
