Oh Steve...... do you want me to post any pics of you? 
Perhaps we could open a thread on the most amusing way to get your D3 stuck

I have a slight transmission noise, whirring/slight grinding from pull away. It seems to be mainly in 2nd gear and a bit in 1st. Not really an issue and I put it down to it being a LR, but it is something I would like looked into. I have just surpassed the first 1000 miles and so far aside a rattly speaker in the pax door, all seems fine?
Anyone with something similar?

If you can get along the SE meet at the Fairmile in Cobham on the 27th there will be any number of willing ears to have a listen and see if it rings any bells, metaphorically speaking Going, going...... Gone!

As previously reported.
Under load it is there, lift off it goes. It sounds as if it is coming from the front diff, could be the tranfer case.
I have reported it, the stealer changed the oil to see if that would correct the problem, it didn't.
Had the D3 at the stealers for the last couple of days, new steering wheel and electrical seat adjustment fitted to replace the manual one that just did not work.
While there they looked at the diff. I now have a new front diff on order. PLUS new bushes for the front arms, new master brake cyclinder and they have a fix for the "farting". 
All this for a D3 with 94k kms.
I cannot fault this service department. This is the BEST service I've ever had for any vehicle. 06 TDV6 SE with Extras
VW Eos TDI
Previously 01 TD5 and 94 TDI

Mines started to whine slightly when accelerating too now... not as noticeable as when lifting off though.
Noise seems to be front and centre, but sometimes appears to come from the rear kurbside.

I think a nosey round looking for an oil link is worth doing - a whine on the front and the damp patch was what triggered GS Stockport to change my front diff last month Steve N | 2006 TDV6 S Auto in Buckingham Blue | Member of the top ten club | Am I online?
