A click noise when getting moving

Post by olegre »

Hello all.

First of all sorry for my "Norwegian English" :lol:

I recently noticed a small click (just one) noise when i start moving the car. Seems like it coming from the gearbox/clutch and that its a mechanical sound (if that makes sens).
I'm no mechanic or specialist when it comes to engines, but it can seem like the clutch releasing the when it goes back into gear it makes a click.
I had the car at my local VW dealer for a fault checkup, I even had the mechanic for a test-drive to better understand the noise/problem. But he came out empty handed and told me that he couldn't find anything wrong with either gearbox or the drivetrain. He told me to wait and see if the sound gets higher and then do another new fault checkup.

Anyone that has experienced the same noise or has any tips?

The car is a 6R 2012 GTI mileage: 89 000 KM (55 000 miles)

I know there is a magnetic clutch unit which controls the bringing in and out of the supercharger on those cars, used to hear it on my Fabia vRS. Could be that?
