Hi guys.
I need some advise, I have a 2006 golf5 1.9 tdi & recently the car's making a knocking sound on the gearbox side but when the clutch is pressed down the noise goes away. I've taken the car to vw,they say I need to change clutch n pressure plate, release bearing n flywheel. The thing is that the car runs smooth with no abnormalitys on the clutch or gears....

Re: tdi issues
VW are right, Rather do it all now but go to an independant workshop with a good reputation with VW's
Dealer prices are insane! How many Km's are you on?

Re: tdi issues
Its sounds like you will need a new Clutch kit. I know GW Delery sell them and they give us from the forum a better price too. I had mine fit by Morne is forum name is G60 Golf

Re: tdi issues
It's kind of premature to give up so soon but not uncommon, the conditions of driving differ from person to person but the TDI's do take a lot of strain due to the high torque.golf5 tdi wrote:thanks for the reply ... the car's on 130 000 kms
Do what Dougi says, It's the cheapest and best route.

Re: tdi issues
Did this on mine 20 000km ago, do you have a warranty on the vehicle?
I managed to get the Flywheel changes as part of warranty and then just purchased the clutch and had them install it.
It was a three week fight but all in all cost me about R2000.
If no warranty buy the kit from goldwagen and get an independent person to install.
Vw prices are mad
