Has anybody had problems with a rattling noise from the transmission?
From start the car has had a very slight rattle in neutral when the clutch is left untouched. If I depress the clutch the rattle stops. This has been reported and listened to by Audi technichians and the answer was that the gearbox does have huge bearings to cope with the torque. I can accept this slight rattle but not the one described below:
I can now hear a rattle easily in 5th gear. Not yet noticable in other gears. It worsens when the engine is under load and can easily be heard at normal cruising speeds. It is however possible that I have just become attuned to it, but I doubt it.
If I depress the clutch until it bites, but not more, still in 5th cruising, the rattle completely stops. When letting the clutch up again, the rattle comes back.
The car is on warranty until June 2007. Currently at 28000 kms.
Since I'm considering taking it to the dealer (which I'm very uncomfortable with) I would like some opinions if this rattle is present in more vehicles or is mine the only one?
