Sorry about not responding, got busy this weekend and I’ve been traveling a lot for work. Gonna take it into a shop this weekend and see what they recommend. If it’s just the upper cover I’m probably just gonna do it myself!
No, they wanted to charge 400 for it. I asked them how it looked and if they would recommend to change it now or wait. I was told it looked fine for the mileage... tempted to just buy some and do it myself
Was limited on money and time so I just went with the stock clutch... stupid I know but like I said I needed the car back as soon as possible . I’ve heard most people said it’s probably just the belt or possibly a pulley. Who knows I’m still pretty new to this vw world 😂
So I’ve had the car for about 3 months now. Over the past month I’ve noticed this whine noise on rpm increase. In gear or neutral. I’m currently at a little under 71,000 mi. Just got the clutch done due at 68,000 mi. Replaced the PCV valve which ended with AH and the diverter Valve at about...

2012 mk6 GTI, 63k just bought used. About 2 weeks after I got it the dogbone mount bolt came out and unfortunately had to drive it home as careful as I could. Got a new one in and it’s all fixed. Couple days ago on my way home from work I noticed a hissing noise on more than 30% throttle when I...
UPDATE: found that the torque mount bolt came loose, couldn’t get under the car bc of where I am and what I have on hand but it’s completely gone. Also looks like it could be gear fluid leaking. It’s a grayish black color coming from right around that area. Checked the oil just to be sure and...
I’m gonna call the dealer after I’m off today to get some more information and see if they can put it on a lift and find if anything is loose... really hoping that the car wasn’t beat on, I checked the car fax and it looked well taken care of but who knows.
