Hi everyone, hope you can help with a noise from my engine which is puzzling me.

I have a 2008 Sharan with 27k on the clock and the noise occurs in the lower gears at about 1500 / 2000rpm when coming off the throttle. The best description I can give is one of a rotating / scraping noise, possibly a tensioner pulley or bearing, and is on the drivers side.

I've had it at the dealer but whilst they heard the noise they couldn't track it down and as my VW warranty runs out in 2 months if there is a problem I need to get it sorted pretty soon.

Any advice is most welcome.

Stuart.
