Two-pronged question, I'm afraid, and need answers to both.
Part 1
Bought the Jetta about 4 weeks ago (2006 '55' plate 2.0TDI PD Sport) and ever since I've had it there seems to be a whine coming from the front drivers side (30 and above and always a fairly constant volume). Took it back to the garage where it was bought to be investigated, which has ruled out bearing/drive shaft and is un-resolved.
Any thoughts?
Part 2
Visited a mechanic friend of mine today to see if he could get to the bottom of it (without taking it out or getting it up in the air, he also was unable to diagnose). But while talking to him, he pointed out the violent engine shudder on shut-down which he attributed to the DMF (For info: quoted £700 to replace DMF+clutch).
Here come the questions (thank you for your patience :Blush2:)
1. could the noise be attributed to the failing DMF?
2. although the DMF hasn't failed, but is clearly failing, should the garage replace this under warranty?
Okay, turned out to be 3 questions.
Bring on the answers!
Thank you.
