When do you hear this, in what gear at what speed? Not a good idea in neutral, hard on the engine. This would make sense if it was an SS because the German 5 speed transmissions are made out of old VW parts. When ever I hear strange new sounds (driveway cool morning suspension clunk) I do what a Ford Tech told me to do, I turn up the radio.

I could only hope that someday mine would sound like a old VW
I think that would be the best of both worlds for me
