Golf MK5 Hesitation / Clutch issue?

Try locating the source whirling. Does the noise change when you push the clutch pedal?

Hi all,

Noticed an intermittent whirling noise when in neutral and idle running on my Golf '04 MK5 TDO 105bhp. There is also sometimes a slight judder when this happens as if the revs were dropping (though the revs do not drop).

Looking around on the net I found this quote on Honest Johns website "On 1.9 TDI 105s both a clutch release bearing fault and a hesitation on running fault with no cure available from VW at 10-10-06."

Pretty much hits tha nail on the head. Has anyone else experienced this? and if so how did they get on with resolving it?

Yes, the noise and hesitation goes when you engage the clutch or the power.

Are you the original owner? Your dealership should cover the repairs up to 100k under powertrain warranty if you are.
