Hi all, recently purchased auto 2.5tdi and always notice a noise, when starting from cold, when gears change from 2-3. Any comments, also airbag fault registers on screen. Any others experience same.

Hi Reg
I too had airbag warning light, had a look round the airbags and seat belt tensioners. Found a little plug and socket had parted from each other under drivers seat that operates the seat belt tensioner, plug it back in but still had to go to dealers to have the system reset.

Thanks for that and to earlier replies. Sorry for the delay in replying as I was away for a few days.

Is the ABS noise from 2nd to 3rd gear a sort of screechy, fan-belt-slipping type of noise?
And why can I also get it in other gears around 2000 revs when I floor it?
Could it be the turbo letting off pressure (don't know if this is possible) or a slipping belt (are there any ??).
Answers on a postcard please.....?

Don't worry, it's a composition of your tyres being worn, suspension out of alignment, your stepper motors being shot, brake disks needing cutting back, the wiper blades being knackered, and also for good measure probably a head gasket gone, and all the electronics needing dealer resetting.

has your car always done this or only since the re tune?????
They all do it , i think its speed related at about 15 mph. I tried just driving along at about 10 mph & it only made the sound when i got above 15mph.

Can we suggest you turn your radio back on then to cure the problem.
