Thread on the A4 prompted to ask this...

There's a knocking coming from my gear box - I'm guessing it's the flywheel.

The noise - grinding/knocking sound is not as bad when it's in neutral, it's at its worst when I'm parked and leave my foot on the clutch (although if I bring the clutch off the floor but to a position before engaging it stops as well ).

It can disappear at times, and isn't an issue after I initially start up the car.

It doesn't seem to be an issue when in gear and driving.

The clutch went about 30k KM's ago. I don't think they changed the flywheel. I used a small local garage.

I've since started using the very good TI Autos in Dublin. He said to leave it a while and to see how it goes, but he thinks it might be the flywheel.

I don't want to break down on the motorway again. What's the likelihood of the clutch going again or is it just a noise issue?

Would ye recommend I ask for a single flywheel (assuming a 2008 159 2.4l Diesel has the dual mass flywheel).
