Hi, new here! Might be a long one hehe. I got a "weird" problem with my -09 S3 manual transmission.
If I turn right in neutral, low speed, with more or less full steering angle, this sound appears (https://imgur.com/a/A4ET08K), ie a more "knocking" sound. If I have any gear in, and drive at low speed, with more or less full steering angle, with even gas, no sound appears. As soon as I release the gas, there will be a more "creaking" sound (https://imgur.com/a/t8HHiLY). But if I have any gear in and press down the clutch, there is no sound. No matter what, no sound appears if I have the clutch depressed and turn right with more or less full steering angle.
Now if I turn left. In neutral, it sounds nothing. If I have any gear in, with even gas, no sound appears but as soon as I release the gas the same "creaking" sound appears, as turning right. If I press the clutch down, it is completely silent no matter what, same as right.
I have been at 3 different workshops but no one dares point a finger at what it could be. One guessed throw out bearing and one guessed its a bearing inside the transmission that is faulty and suggested to replace the whole transmission...
I have changed the right CV-joint, front springs and both top mounts.
Maybe someone in here has had the same problem?
Any guess on what it could be?
Thanks in advance!
