Steve thank you for your reply. would you know what a realistic time frame would be on getting the gearbox out? the mechanic said 3 days to strip it out send it off have it rebuilt and put back in if it’s the case of a gearbox issue. regards

Hi All i have a A3 2.0TDI 63 plate. past week have been experiencing some strange rattle clunking noise. Sounds like it’s coming from front drivers side. on acceleration and braking it’s none existent. However on deceleration it’s present. took the car to a garage they checked everything that was visible when up on the ramp. Callipers, engine mounts, springs, lower control arms etc etc nothing loose nothing out of place. only thing that was suggested is a potential gear box issue. any help advise suggestions welcome. thank you ps hope this post is in right place apologies if it isn’t.
