Just took the mrs 2015 polo gti out and noticed there is a noise between the gear changes that wasn't there when i last took it for a spin.
Anyone else have a clunk noise between changes and also when accelerating and decelerating in the same gear?
Sounds like a worn drive shaft to me on older cars, car only has 3000k on it.
Could you try to record a video of it or a sound clip or something? Could be a multitude of issues.
Go get it scanned by a dealer, neutral switch is probably stuffed.. Check my thread
Its booked in for the 22nd... Will let all know what it is.
Its a mechanical clunk of varying loudness depending on speed and speed of clutch engagement, i can't imagine just a switch causing this sort of sound.
Isn't yours a dsg? Mine is manualQuote:

Could be your FMM (Front motor mount) or RMM (Rear motor mount) some manual geared engines during quick shifts move a lot so the mounts may not be adequate for the demand.
Well there noise changed to a dull grinding sort of noise then stopped making a noise at all, pretty annoying as I want to know what it was..... The tech who had a look at the gearbox and driveshafts couldn't find anything wrong.
Mine is making the exact noise, usually at lower revs building up to about 3-4k. Mine is manual and has about 3,300 kms on the clock. Taking it in on 17.08.2015 anything worth mentioning to the dealer?
Im not sure mate, did you take a tech out and show him the fault?
My noise has come back again and is louder between 1st and 2nd, also when its cold in the morning i notice it more.
At this point I'm waiting for it to get worse so its very noticeable for the tech at VW.
Does the manual GTI have hill start assist? I've read somewhere that the brake pad on the system may need adjustment so it unlocks smoothly on taking off
Yes it does. Works well. Brake stays on for around 2 second giving you time to get your **** together.Quote:

The minor rattle has slowly been disappearing and most days doesn't occur at all. Considering I'm at around 3,000 kms I might wear it in a tad more before I organise the tech to take a look at it. The day I wanted to take it in, there was no noise whatsoever so I thought ... why waste time[emoji21]

The rear hand brake is adustable, however this has nothing to do with the hydraulicly activated brake assist. The noise should get less as the pads wear in. If it doesnt I would take it back as there may be a sticky caliper slide.
