Only when its cold, and it started 3 days ago. When I am shifting I hear a noise that sounds like plastic conduit or a motor mount being krimped ONLY when I shift. It happens when the clutch is released (1st to 2nd...letting the clutch out). It goes away when the engine warms up. Is this a common issue with VW or do I need to hang on the fender while my wife drives down the road one cold dark morning? Revving the engine does not duplicate the sound. It really has me wondering because when the torque is removed from the engine (clutch is depressed or foot taken off the accelerator) there is no noise. Its ONLY when torque is applied. The clutch does not feel weak or like its slippling.
