Hi, i have been looking for a second hand tdi galaxy for some time and have had a look at a good few "mobile smoke machines". Seen one that doesnt smoke but when putting it into first gear it sometimes will make a crunch. I was told that this was "expected" for a galaxy with 100,000 miles and that they,sharans and alhambras all do it. I asked the question of this is a sign of a bigger problem such as gearbox or cluthc going but was told (unsurprisingly) that it wasnt. Was also told that to get round the problem all you need to do is put it into another gear first and then into first and this lines up the gears and stops the crunch. Seeing as how i dont know much about them i thought id ask although it all sounds a bit like a dodgy clutch/gearbox to me. Anyone any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
