Hi,
I have an Audi A3 (2004, manual) 1.6L and i've recently started to hear a noise coming from the front of the car. I dont know a lot about cars but i've read a bit about similar problems and people have suggested that it may be a gearbox bearing problem, DMF, release bearing or the clutch. Im hoping if i describe my situation i might get an idea of what the problem is.
At idle the car makes a low rattling noise when the clutch is disengaged but the noise dissappears once the clutch is engaged. When driving there is a louder noise which remains consistant from the 1st gear to the 4th gear but as soon as i change to 5th the noise becomes more aggressive and grindy. The gears change fine and i dont think theres a problem with the clutch. Please Help as i have no idea what the problem is :confused: ...
Thank you
