Noise when engaging gear during cold start | VW
I have a noise when engaging a gear, but only during a cold start. After the cold start, when a gear (DSG) is engaged, whether D or R, there is a grinding noise. The noise decreases with every meter driven. After about 100 meters, it disappears again. However, this occurs depending on the temperature. If the vehicle is driven briefly beforehand, the noise is barely audible. If the vehicle is parked after a longer drive, the grinding noise is much louder. It is also less noticeable in winter.

Check the DSG transmission fluid level and condition. Inspect the dual-mass flywheel and clutch assembly for wear or damage. Consider a DSG adaptation reset.

Alexander W. Thanks for letting me know, then see if you can record the noise and add it here later.
Markus T. On my old automatic transmission, I got rid of grinding noises by changing the oil. But I removed the entire pan and completely changed the oil, plus added an additive from Liqui Moly.
1Birger S. It should still be under warranty. If VW wants to replace the turbocharger under warranty, let them. They can then repair the transmission afterwards.

Reiner What is the mileage of the vehicle? The clutch plates may be worn. Perform a transmission fluid change.

We sometimes experience a phenomenon with our DSG transmissions where a brief noise occurs when shifting from one gear to another. This was definitely due to the clutch kit. This was known to the manufacturer, and now the transmissions are completely replaced. I suspect and think that it will be similar with you, that the dual-clutch is causing a noise and that this disappears depending on the temperature, due to the oil temperature. The best thing for you to do is to leave the vehicle in the workshop for a few days, or show the employee which noise you mean. They will then know what to look for and if it can be understood, then they can act, otherwise it is difficult. I wouldn't worry in your position, you still have a guarantee.
