Rattle in second gear

Featured Replies

Hi been on here about 3 week now and all advice has been brilliant but since I bought my Audi A3 2.0 tdi sport there was a rattle on tick over and second gear I've reacently had clutch flywheel and baring done and on tick over its fine but still a rattle on second gear but it's so smooth going in and out of gear what could it be  oh and it's when I'm not accelarating in second gear 

Hi Danny, perhaps you could post up a short video so we can hear the noise? Is it definitely coming from the engine/gearbox?

It's near the end of the vid where you can hear it

I've listened four or five times there, there is a distinct rattle or knocking, is it only second it happens, does it definitely sound outside,

Hey brucie it started in second up til nah I can hear it in first aswell third forth fifth and sixth are fine 

OK Danny, eliminate everything else, heat Shields, gear selector linkages etc etc anything that can cause a rattle, take a couple days and go through them all lift the gear stick gator and check, go underneath and check, make sure and check everything
