Polo 6C 1.2 TSI dogbone mount

[2226]

i'm staring to think that the play/ twitching is coming from clutch plate heart play

How so?
Then again, the 6-speed in my car does have a "loose" feel to it compared to something like the old 020 in my mk1.

I have heard feedback from people with 1.4 tsi, that there is this kind of issue.
The part on clutch plate where the input shaft goes thru developes slight play ( where its riveted to outer part of clutch plate). You can hear slight clicking kind of noise on low rpm's like when idling.
I've replaced all cv joints, left side mounts, and i still get that clunk noise and shook thru drive line in some cases.


I might be wrong, but that's what i suspect on my tdi

That's very interesting information.
Is this on the Golfs or Polo?
Do those 1.4tsi folks have any pictures of it?

Looks like that input plate is simply held by 3 rivets.

That's a whole gearbox out situation just to confirm too. You going to pull it to check?

I wonder if swapping to an uprated clutch would solve that.
I know there is a stronger clutch with stronger torque spec:

Can't say I've heard a clicking noise from that side of the engine. Just the fuel pump and injector noises.

I have the "usual" back and forth shunting that people talking about. Wheel hop, vague gearshift, etc. Engine can be moved back/forth easily by hand. I will try this new mount I have now; it might make other things show up better.

I wont be pulling it to check, people didnt report any failures, just noise and that clunk...
