Hi right I know I do not have an A2 but I have recently brought an 02 vw lupo TDi. When I brought the car I was told there was a problem with the thrust bearing in the clutch, so before I brought the car I got a quote on having it fitted at a local garage of £180 labour which was not that bad.
Anyway I went and viewed the car and the chap let me listen to the noise of the thrust breaing, from what I had read it sounded just like (Grinding sound when in neut and the clutch it up). I liked the look of the car so i brought it. Had the garage check the sound and they told me it could be the gear box, as i was already having trouble getting in to 3rd from 4th I had the gearbox reconditioned.
Cost me £500 (as they let me pay cash) and I still have this noise. New bearing in and didn't need a new clutch as it only had one fitted about 2000 miles ago.
The noise only happens when the clutch is up and the car is in neutral, when I rev it above about 1100-1300 the noise goes. When the car is warm it has trouble shifting down to the lower gears also.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks Ben.
