Hi Guys
Was driving my 1.6 FSI Sport back from Canterbury last Monday and heard a clonk and thought I had driving over a large stone in the road then when pulling up on my drive about 7 miles later I heard a horrible grinding noise from the front axels.
When driving it the following day it now pulls to the left or opposite in reverse, (the pulling is quite significant if you just let the wheel go at low speed! I managed to get it to a local garage about 10 miles away so it drives and the grinding noise is intermittent.
The Garage are saying the gearbox needs replacing but can't explain the pulling to the left (they are an okay garage but I really don't think they have spent much time in diagnosing it, I wondered on here if any had a good idea of what it might be such as the CV joints perhaps.
Thanks in advance!!
