Calling VW Up owners, need your view.

Hi there
I can speak with some authority on this as I had exactly the same issue with my 2013 UP (now sold). It was really whiny and growly under load (sounded like a diesel); I took it into the VW dealer and their (not unsurprisingly) response was that "they all do that". I did a lot of research at the time (vw forums etc.) and it seemed to be a common complaint without any clear solution unfortunately.

Thank you, I guess it's normal then. It's not a bad/loud whine, I was just concerned it may get worse.I can speak with some authority on this as I had exactly the same issue with my 2013 UP (now sold).

The car goes out of VW warranty at the end of March so I'll mention it to the dealer.

my daughter has a VW UP which is also on a 15 plate and has covered approx 25k miles.
I sometimes use it and don't recall ever thinking there was any noise coming from the transmission,
probably worth getting it booked into the dealers so they can take a look.
