I thought about the gearbox oil but wanted to clarify frist before stealer takes £230 for gearbox oil + filter.
It makes the noise whether is cold or hot but only when you floor it at any speed..1/2sec of wriiim or sort of
I never floored the pedal while in idle but did rev it up to 4k but no noise.
is barelly noticeble and passanger dont notice the noise..only when I ask did you hear it?? what?? that wriim..nooo I did not...once I floor it 2x they say oh yes..
