Just found this post on here & it sound exactly like what's going on with mine. Posting for a friend Just picked up a 97 golf VR6 on saturday, my 1st VW, and it was running fine until this morning. Theres a hum coming from the gearbox side when in gear and on power. Dipping the clutch/coming of the accelerator silences it. Im gonna stop by halfords and pick up a 17mm allen key to check the 'box oil level tonight. Was just wondering if theres anything else i can look for while im under the car, or if anyone knows of other things it could be? This is my daily ride, with no access to others,
