Gear box howl

[PoloGTi]

hey guys for about the last 8 months there has been a howl sound comming from the pasenger side wheel /diff/gearbox only happens 1st and 2nd under hard exceleration.
Does not effect anything feels normal no crunches or anything, but very very slowly get louder.
I too had the cruch problem between 1st and 2nd but has gone away.
Anyone with the same sound?
I am not keen to try to get a warrenty job after all my probs with my turbo bolts i dout they will do it under warrenty.

I don't know all the history, but that aside, if it's covered by the warranty, even if they have had to rebuilt and replace EVERY OTHER PART on the car so far, screw it, thats what the warranty is there for.

If it's covered, they are bound to fix it by law. period.

are they known for weak boxes? gear boxes will howl when they're on there way out? . . . dno??

They may not let you have another gearbox after the MKIV!

Nah, I am sure it would be covered - get an independent opinion before you take it to the dealer though.

The mk4 was an ex hire car nothing to do with me lol Sounds maybe like a bearing in the diff or box ill get it check out by someone then off to the dealer.
