Hi, i am new on here i have an 2008 octavia pd tdi 1.9 105 5 speed.

I have recently (today) noticed that there is a stange sound upon initial engine throttle

when touching the accellerator and the first initial 'bite' when the engine responds (fly by wire) i get a breif 'chhh' like sound

it only occours in gear without the clutch pressed, but does do it on all but the gentle'est gear changes

i am concerned this may be the dual mass flywheel or the clutch? tho i cannot seem to enduce the noise any longer than the breif 1 second chh..

not sure if i am asking in the right place, and searching / googling problems like this is tricky!

any ideas / help would be great

cheers

Andy.

Hi and welcome to Briskoda

Do you get this noise when the engine is cold?

hi! yes the noise is there all the time, mostly when coming off the clutch or when light on-off the accellerator. there are no other noticeable effects atm. howver the car also feels very slightly more 'juddery' (sorry trying to use best description lol) when pulling away slowly in 1st gear

thanks. going down to a friends garage this afternoon, hopefully he will be able to ID the noise..

just as a follow up.. ironically the day i go to the garage the noise stops.. but had a chat with the mechanic about it and the half clutch wobble' and he agreed with my thoughts that it was likely to be the dual mass flywheel.. unfortunately its not a cheap or easy job so it will keep going til its broke or too bad to drive lol!
