TArosa Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi, i'm new to the forum and was hoping to get some help on a few problems i'm having on my arosa.The Car: Mk1 'T' reg arosa, 1 litre, 95,000 mileshave been noticing a wearing / whining noise coming from the gearbox when gearing down into first or second but didn't think anything of it and now the whining is happening between 30 and 70 in fifth. The noise disappears when i put the clutch down, so i suspect its something to do with the clutch or gearbox; have changed the gearbox oil but has made no difference. And have check the wheel bearing and all seems good.My brother had a 6n2 1 litre polo which made a similar noise and turned out it was the thrust release bearing on the clutch, could that be the same problem?Has anyone had the same problem or could shed some light on it?Thanks.

FatelError89 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 iv had the same problem once with my polo i put a new clutch on it and it started whining couple of weeks later and stopped with the clutch pedal down .. does it wine on idle ?

TArosa Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 no my arosa doesn't but the polo did :/ ... just thought it might be the same problem just at an earlier stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatelError89 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 does the whining happen only in 5th gear or all gears ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TArosa Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 have only heard it in 5th but not really in any of the other gears long enough to hear it as it comes and goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatelError89 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 take it out on a long drive and stay in the gears longer and see if it happens with other gears then 5th but then if it dont and does it only in 5th then synco is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sazziecee Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 My lupo did this, but i kept putting off getting it fixed . In the end I got the clutch changed, but it was still making the noise. I eventually found out it was the thrust bearing (but too late), ended up wrecking the bearing and one of the bearing rollers pierced the bell housing and caused a gearbox oil leak. it cost me £650 to get the gearbox repaired.

scotty_82 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Clutch kits normally come with the thrust bearing with them, so of a garage has the box off anyway to do the clutch it always makes sense to change the bearing too ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
