    GT driver here, I have the same issue but haven't really let it bother me. I'll subscribe to thread though and if a fix is found will get it sorted next service.

    Paul,
    you're the first Mk V I know of with this issue. Been searching stacks of forums on Mk Vs without anyone posting it as an issue. Maybe the Mk VI is that much quieter that everything else sounds loud lol.

    It is from the waterpump magnetic clutch upon acceleration. I have DSG but it is related to the waterpump pulley on acceleration not the gearbox.

    Vehicle has now been officially inspected by the volkswagen dealer for the second time and again I have been advised this is a known operating noise for which there is no repair available.

    They used an air compressor to blow around the supercharger/waterpump pulley and claim the noise is now gone but they expect it to return. Have driven the vehicle and noise is gone. Dealer suspects it will return, he likens it to a noisy air conditioner clutch and the metallic slip they can get when full of dust.

    Not happy with response from VW but the noise is gone for the moment. When it returns I will be back on the VW Tech for a solution. I even mentioned the replacements made by Burwin and the suggestion about lubricating it from WA but they would not budge on the NO FIX available and we won't do any more.

    same problem here with 118TSI

    Unfortunately my comfortline 118 TSI started developing this problem monday of last week. I called Five Dock VW who encouraged me to take the car in, but they said that this is a known issue & "feature" of the car.

    I'm not going to accept that answer.

    I'm also glad to hear Dermot's answer. It really does sound as simple as lubricating a belt or some kind of part to make the noise go away. Whilst replacing the water pump may make the sound go away, I get the feeling it will just return without some good ol' lube.

    Hopefully if enough of us 118TSI owners complain, VW will realise there's a systemic issue and will do a recall of some kind.

    This has been discussed a little here:
    http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showth...&highlight=tsi

    The more I listen to it the more I think it is the S/Charger belt slipping momentarily upon the magnetic clutch engaging. For some reason though if I ease on the throttle to full boost it is silent however if I stomp it then it squeaks.
    I'm still not too bothered though if a fix is found I'll be lining up to get it sorted.

    cheers,

    Paul
