right i will explain as best i can
when i change up from 2nd to 3rd i can hear a deep whistle sound (sorry the best way i can describe it)
this seems to happen when i depress the clutch

just had a full service and cam belt change 2 weeks ago and never noticed it before then

2006 passat 1,9 tdi
any ideas
:1zhelp:

if it whistles when the clutch is depressed, then it sounds like the release bearing.
common on all cars just about, nothing much to worry about, it'll be a while before you need to do anything about it
if at all,

no loss of power so looks like your right

Is it as the engine drops while you shift, if it is it's dumping air and this is normal.
