Hello all. I'm grateful for all these replies. In answer to @TasMan... The Haldex fluid has been changed only twice, most recently last year. I've seen a couple of Haldex related codes though these were in proximity to the battery being replaced and have not recurred. That said they prompted me to research the Gen 5 Haldex so I know about the filter that isn't part of the service regime but should be. Thanks. 🙂 In answer to @Oache4u... I've done those tests and heard nothing in either case. I'm hoping this is good news! I'm wondering either if it could be bearings on layshafts in the 'box itself? Although I might also be worrying about nothing. 😉 The car is with an independent VAG specialist later this week for a couple of things and I'll try to get their opinion. Thanks again everyone.

Hello. I have a new to me six speed manual 2014 Superb 2.0 TDi 140 Elegance 4x4 with nearly 100k miles on it. It's a well maintained car with a full service history including cambelt/waterpump change at the right time. I have no evidence the clutch has been done but it feels like it may have been. The gearbox is a little notchy. This is most noticeable when changing into third when it's cold. There are no crunches or resistance or anything like that. I have noticed a noise which may well be a characteristic and/or nothing to worry about but - as a vehicle I'm not familiar with - I'd like to get the opinion of you folks. Most noticeable on the change from 2nd to third - as I declutch there is a barely audible rattle which quite quickly decreases. It sounds like something spinning that is slowing down. It's not a scary sounding noise, quite a gentle one, but I worry a little what it may indicate. Any thoughts? Thanks Charlie
