Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and love reading different topics and everyone helping/giving advice to everyone else so maybe some of you can help me with the problem I am having.
I have a 2017 GTI SE 6MT and I just had a Rev9 DP installed and went OTS Stage 2 with my Cobb AP about 3 weeks ago.
I'd say last week or so I noticed that after coming to a stop and accelerating and turning right that when releasing the clutch I'd get a crunch/grind noise that I could also feel in my foot. It was only when accelerating in first gear while turning, every shift/turn after that was smooth like butter.
After searching a bit on the topic I saw some forum posts from people with the same issue and I mostly saw that it could be the DIFF especially since it is when I am turning . That or I also saw some posts saying wheel bearing issues..etc. I started searching around more on crunching/grinding while turning but can't seem to find anybody with the same problem.
So over this past weekend I noticed now that If I am accelerating in a straight line, if i have to hold my clutch anywhere in the middle to ease into the acceleration, I get the same grinding/crunch noise and feel. It wont really happen if the acceleration is an easy one like a downhill for example. But it is almost always guaranteed when on a hill or where more torque is needed to stop the car from rolling back.
I believe the easy answer is to probably get a new clutch/flywheel but if anybody has any suggestions or tests so I can dig a little deeper on the problem I'd truly appreciate it!
