Do I need to be worried about the clutch whistle? HD vid

I've had my GTI for a little over a year now, its still stock and haven't really had any other problems, but I am worried about the clutch noise if I mod.

Every so often the clutch will whistle like a train horn. It's a little annoying, but I've never had any engagement issues, but at the same time I've never raced anyone either.

I would like to go straight to APR K04, but not if I need to get the clutch worked on first.

Of course the bugger stopped making the loud train whistle after I set up the cam, that's why I pump the clutch so many times. Tricky Bugger.

i think that may be from the rubber insert in the firewall that the clutch mechs goes thru. Check to see if its air going in and out around that rubber insert when u push in the pedal. Its soft rubber almost like a diaphram.

if it doesn't go away soon you should show your dealer the video and have them check it out.
