Hello everyone. My car is a 2010 Octavia DSG estate. 2.0 16v diesel with 140 hp (engine type CFHC). About 220.000 km on the clock.

I need some help identifying where this noise is coming from my engine. It especially happens after turning the car on in the morning and when it is colder outside. After a bit of time, it goes away on its own.

Could it be a dual mass flywheel issue? I'm also encountering some other DSG oddities - in low revs in second gear the car feels like it's ridding on a "half-pressed clutch" (there's no instant and progressive acceleration - the revs go up initially, then down, then finally up, on the same level of throttle pressing). It also seems to want to "lurch forward" when braking in second gear (feels like there's little engine braking when in low revs in second gear when applying the brakes).

Could all these be connected? Would very much appreciate any answers

Sounds flywheel related. When was the last oil change & adaption

@Black vRS Oct last oil change at 180k km. I haven't done any DSG adaptation since I've gotten the car (around 3 years ago) and don't think the previous owner has done it either. Would you recommend it in this case? And is it done through VCDS?
