Hiya chaps,

hopefully you can help. For the past 2 weeks or so when driving my car, i have noticed a whining sound as i accelerate, it gradually gets louder the faster i go/more i accelerate. My cambelt is due to be changed, and I will be booking this in to the garage soon. I just didn't know if it was because of that, or something else. Anyone else had a similar problem? I am concerned it may be the clutch, and at worst the gearbox.
The quote i have off a local garage (reputable though) for cambelt, tensioners changed and full 60k service is as follows

Labour - £64.28
Parts (Full belt kit inc. tensioners etc) - £76.90
Water pump - £42.70
Full 60k service - £160

How does that sound I presume it's all plus v.a.t. anyone's thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

by the lack of response, i guess i'll just go and book it in

to me that soun ds like your gearbox mate.
same old same old with the GTI, gonna happen at some point!

Yeah it sounds very much like your gearbox...

cheers guys...i'll book it in to dubsport and ask them to check it over - not the best of timings with me having a cambelt change and major service...i'm already up to around the £500 mark

Thanks for the replies though
