Hi all, my daughter has owned her light blue 5dr up! for nearly a year now and it has been a wonderful and extremely economical first car for her (first brand new VW in family). She took the car in for it's 30,000km service and the service manager said the flywheel needs replacing. The mechanics noticed a clunking noise in the bellhousing during gearchanges so they decided to sort it before it became a problem. So after the initial shock of giddy needing fixing so early in its life, I realized that maybe it was a good thing that this VW dealership was being pro-active in keeping the customers car in perfect order. So full points to WHIPPLES VOLKSWAGEN in toowoomba, QLD. I dont get to drive the car very often and although I noticed a slight noise when I drove it last, I thought it was just a 'characteristic' of the up! So the parts are on order and hopefully a loan car will be issued during repairs. At least the clunk is not being ignored
