Hello.
"I've been experiencing a sort of grinding noise in the clutch of my CBBB (GTD) for about 6,000 km. It happens when accelerating from low speeds up to around 2200 rpm, and then abruptly releasing the clutch – there's a brief grinding sound in the pedal. Interestingly, it seems to get worse the warmer it is outside, and it also depends on whether the air conditioning is on or off; it's more noticeable when the A/C is running."
"I recently drove a Passat with 140 horsepower and experienced something similar there, but it wasn't nearly as strong. Could the dual-mass flywheel (DMF) be responsible? This "shuddering" can also be provoked by giving it gas while holding the clutch at the friction point. I still have over a year of warranty, so I could potentially have everything repaired under warranty. What do the experts say?"

I know that feeling: pressing the clutch pedal while under load (which you normally wouldn't do).

I think you can really feel what the vibration damping system is supposed to do: absorb vibrations.

While on vacation in southern France, the ZMS (presumably a type of vibration or noise) is becoming more noticeable, although you can feel it while driving there. This is similar to how it's only felt in specific mountainous areas here.

Since I know several cars with 3C engines that have over 100,000 kilometers on them, and where the issue is noticeable (meaning all the ones I know), it cannot lead to immediate failure.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.
Transparency, Teamwork
... there was another T.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Hmm, any other opinions?
