it took me about an hour or so. maybe less. car didnt have much contaminants on it tho only done 10,000 kms and washed fairly regularly.

I think the answer for most people here would be "very".

Finally some good weather in Sydney, so cleaned and washed inside out

After my 1st service, believed nothing to be done, no oil change nothing, just a check + wash, dealer cant replicate the crunch in gear box, so no action to be done. Door hinge is lubricated heavily (thats what he said), the sound gone but those lubircant are everywhere around the door now...

Day after the service is a hot day (saw 42.5C at the in car temp display), and my gear box crunch even at 3500rpm...

Drive under 2500rpm, everything is fine....

wtf...

Got a gti and keep revs under 2500?

did you quote the 35A7 recall on Polo GTI gearboxes? due to it being a VW announced recall they HAVE to fix the gearbox crunch. by the sounds of the works they have done, they obviously couldn't give a sh*t, i'd be looking for new dealer if i were you (if there is another nearby).

How many ks have you done how could they not even do an oil change??

7500KM, my 1st dealer service.

Didnt quote the recall quote, i mentioned to them i am aware that there is recall on the gear box, but as he said he cant replicate it, then what can i do?

It only happens when the weather is hot or after a long drive in traffic (1 and a half hr)...

Just wondering how much is a new gear box if i blow this one up after the warranty...

Planning to get another car before warranty expired! Still got 2 and a half year time to save up...
