Strange noise rubbing from gearbox - Golf Plus DSG 1.4 TSI - 2008

[Big John]

Hello, I have a strange noise that seems to come from the gearbox/transmission when crawling in traffic or slowly stop start. The noise can only be heared in the cabin.

When the car is cold there is no noise, I can drive it for 15mins and when I pull up and drive slowly because of traffic or negotiating a carpark every thing is fine.

If I stop the engine, hop out say for 10 to 30mins and startup put into D and drive slowly away I can hear what I can only be described as a rubbing noise (no metalic noise) this increases up to 5/10mph and then goes away, if I then slow down I can then hear the rubbing noise. The engine revs and rubbing noise are linked but do not go at the same speed if that makes any sense.

Apart from this the DSG gearbox performs without any hitch. If I turn the radio on the noise cannot be heard.

I have booked into my local VW garage where the car is serviced for a tester to come out and hear the noise. I have subscribed to the full extended warranty every year but I am sure they will try and get out of any responsibility if the gearbox is at fault

All suggestions welcome.
