Whoosing noise from Gearbox

JayPriest92 · Oct 7, 2019

Changed Gearbox oil on D2 td5 manual yesterday.. used mtf94. Noticed on drive to work this morning didnt want to go into gear, was fine when warm. Also there is a whoosing noise coming from gear lever area gets louder on acceleration.. I thought somebody had swapped my panel air filter out for a big k&n cone at first..anybody got an idea of what it could be?

very difficult to describe a noise with words. Even harder to understand it.
there are many equivalent oils that do the trick, I used super Tractavia 20W50 which has exactly the same specs

not even telling you what we use here @ an average temperature of 30ºC.
So the question is.. how cold was it? it is pretty normal to be hard to shift for the first 10 minutes and to sound different @ -5Cº.

Thanks for the Reply, I can only describe it as the sound of a performance air filter (induction kit) like the wooshing noise as your accelerating...but from the gearbox . Like I say its only occurred since changing the oil and your looking at around 10° here this time of year.
