Teething Problems
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.

I hate you lot - you've got me worried now !!!
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.
Hope this puts your mind at rest?

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

It's like a really quick crunching noise. Only happens when you first set off after turning the ignition when you reach about 15 mph.
