Mk7 gearbox issue

[Robertsfron07]

Hi all,
I don't know if I have posted this correctly, apologies before hand,
In the last few days ,I have been having a dry bearing kind of noise while in 4&5 gear,I have checked front bearings by jacking front and turning wheel by hand,they seem fine,but I did notice while turning driveshafts,there is a loose cogs noise from gearbox end,
Is the mk7 2.2 tdci 5 speed same gearbox as the mk6 2.0,
Any suggestions much appreciated

Ok re last post,
I have looked at v5
Model transit 85 260 2.2 tdci
Net max power (me) 63
Does this help?

Noise could've been a dual mass flywheel problem but not at that horsepower as it'll be a single mass flywheel, when you say it's noisey in 4th and 5th is it just because you've got speed up at that point and its getting louder the faster you go?? Does the noise change on left or right bends??

Thanks for reply,
I only go 65mph max,no difference in sound around bends,
Sounds like a land rover

Have just tried van now,
Noise is in third gear as well,
Also when I coast in neutral noise is still there

Have you checked for oil in gearbox? If in neutral, clutch pressed and still hearing the noise the it sounds more like a wheelbearing

[Robertsfron07]

No,
Not tried that,
But when wheel is jacked up and turned by hand,hell of racket in gearbox
