    bloody thing hasn't even had it's first MOT yet, only just done 23K, and the gearbox whines like f*ck, starts to become noticeable in 3rd, and gets louder in 4th and louder still in 5th, regardless of speed.

    WTF?!?!

    it still under warranty? if not, maybe taking one out would be a shrewd move.

    no idea, we didn't nuy it new. and it's come from ireland, so I don't know where we'd stand with regards to warranty?

    there's another 1.0 lupo in the local breakers, so if it goes it's no bog deal. it's just annying for it to be making a racket so soon?

    I know it's had a knock, but I can't see any marks on the gearbox, ir signs of oil leaks!?!?

    It wasn't unheard of when I was at VAG for a Lupo box to go that early... [8(]
