Have a 2012 GTI Autobahn with 3,400 miles on it. Here is the problem: Getting a metal on metal sound, like a steel cable rapping against steel, coming from right front of engine compartment. It happens when driving between 5 - 30 mph. When it occurs it feels like the brakes are being applied causing drag on the engine. It has happened 3 times in the last 5 days. I have it at dealer but they say they can not make it occur and therefore are not doing anything about it. After dropping 30k on this car I'm just a little ticked off. Anyone have any experience with this issue? I've read in a forum that the 6 speed trans has bearing issues. Could this be that problem? Any info and input would be appreciated.
