R36 dsg whine

[Marcotto]

Had the VW specialist listen to the whine this morning and he advised that it might not be anything serious however as mine still has warranty it would be worth getting A VW dealer to check it. He mentioned that if it was whining in all gears then it could be bearing related.

I'll get it into a dealer soon to get checked and will keep you posted.

Please do mate, good luck with it too.

We had the car at VW for 4 days and what did they end up fixing..... nothing. But they admited that there was a sound and they would look in to it. I believe they are trying to run out the 3 month warranty that comes with all 2nd hand cars purchased from dealers as any cost of repair is at the dealers expense.

On the 1st day of having the car they tried to spin my dad saying the car had bent the axels and wheels on the back and this was the cause of the whining. Thank god my dad is no dumb ass and called their bluff.

They said during the 4 days they had the car they got another r36 in and it had the same sound. So there is nothing to worry about.

What to do in this situation. Since we have lodged that there is a problem and it has been noted, can we claim on their warranty after the 3 months if a problems occurs?



No point in naming and shaming the dealer as VW is up **** creek with out a paddle atm.

FYI had it in at a VW dealer last week and it appears that my whine is normal! I'm going to see if can go for a spin in another R36 and clarify this. Will keep you posted.

You can do some checks to try and narrow it down.

All gearboxes will whine to some degree as the action of teeth against teeth will cause this. This is why gears have a helix angle to make the tooth engagement more progressive.

Does the whine happen on drive or overrun?

Does it happen to the same degree in all gears?

If you can find out which ratio is effectively straight through, see if the whine is present there as well.

These tests will try and narrow it down to a particular gear set or the differential gears.
