I have a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI that has had this issue since I bought it, but I'm not sure if its normal or not. It has the 6spd DSG, and has been having some issues related to the transmission being jerky like a kid who doesn't know how to drive manual well yet when it is cold at times.

Here is the link to the video of the idle noise, its most noticeable with a good pair of headphones while I am in the drivers seat, and before I open up the hood and look around for the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hear it. My Mk7 makes the exact same noise, has for 35,000 miles, and has a regular manual transmission. I don't know what it is. In person, it sounds like an out-of-true pulley.
