Just got my car back from the dealer who kept it for 8 days (!) to fix a whining noise from the transmission. They have fitted two new gearbox bearings and replaced the gear linkage but I can still hear the noise (and so can my wife who isn't usually sensitive to these things). The problem is definitely not as bad as it was but it is still there at lower volume.
I need to do some more tests (trailing throttle, clutch in/out etc.) to try to isolate the noise but my inclination is to take the car back. I've owned it from new (54 plate TDI 90 SE) and have only done 27,000 miles.
Or am I just being hyper-critical: is a certain level of transmission noise a 'feature' of the A2?
