Possible gearbox bearing

Post by BobDove »

Hello everybody I have a 05 Volkswagen Polo Twist 1.4 diesel I have noticed over the last 6 to 12 months a noise from inside the car you cannot hear it from outside the car it sounds like a swirling noise doesn't happen when driving normally but when slowing down through the gears or just coasting at 30 mph also so you hear the swirling noise or a rattle sometimes it's there when I start the engine sometimes it disappears when I put my foot on the clutch I have recently had a new clutch pressure plate and thrust bearing installed professionally so it is not the thrust bearing I thought it maybe the alternator bearing this noise can be heard sometimes when just starting up in neutral or whilst driving, also so from cold I'm hearing this snare drum type noise from cold and if you just touch the accelerator the first few revs sound like a bit of a snare drum rattle
