Hi all, I have the same issue with mine S3, from second to third under hard acceleration is crunchy... it kills me
I have changed the dogbone and the engine mounts as well with THS ones but the noise is still there.
I have bought MOTUL performance gearbox oil and I will change it, I pray for the noise to go away....
this issue is still on, living in almost every S3, TT or Cupra R...nobody has the right solution.
I hope that there is not a syncromesh or worse...
The wired thing is that when the engine is cold, or the gearbox oil is cold, no matter how hard I go from second to third there is no noise, no crunchy at all...and when the oil start to get high temperatures...the crunch appear! It might be related with the OIL? the EOM OIL is not performing well under high temperatures?
any answer will be highly appreciated, even the topic died 2 years ago!
