Hey all,
Been having a battle with the dealership over a clunking noise when going on and off power, a whine when any amount of turn is applied in gear at slow speed and a slack feeling when you go from overrun and apply throttle again. ( this can be seen with a small 50-100 rpm jump on the Rev counter which then drops back to where it was).
They replaced the steering rack as there is apparently a tpi for the noise when turning at low speed but as I voiced as a concern to them - it didn't fix the issue as there is no noise out of gear or with the clutch in.
My regular trusted mechanic has said there's quite a bit of backlash in the box and suspects diff bearings may be the culprit. However, the dealership have told me I must wait for the box to break... If it does and despite vw used warranty allowing for wear and tear that I have to live with it? The car has done 60k with fvwsh - can anyone offer any advice?
I feel like I'm being fobbed off due to their £1200 steering rack that's fixed nothing.
