I've had a slight whine on our TD4 for ages now (prob for 10k) at around 50, which for some reason was made noticeable after fitting Pirelli Scorpion STRs.
If you drive it through it through 3rd 4th and 5th at 60 you wont hear it, its more noticeable if driven gently, mainly in 5th, a tiny bit in 4th and not in 3rd.
VCU has been changed, oil in IRD and trans changed about 5k ago and nothing out of the ordinary was found.
When we first got it at 6 years ago at around 35000 it made a very faint whine when shifting into 5th which immediately disappeared once in 5th and never got any worse and never was a problem.
It has the gear selector issue that vibrates at about 1500rpm which I keep meaning to sort out, do you guys think its just transmission sounds being amplified by worn gear selector parts, or am I being optimistic about something more sinister.....
Oh and was there a modified gear selector mechanism that could be fitted which helps this vibration etc?? I remember reading somewhere that someone had fitted a revised selector mechanism and it transformed the car??
Cheers..
