It wasn't broken down to Beetle vs. Beetle Turbo so I can't speak to that. It's just something to be mindful of and for those experiencing this issue, having the information may help. Originally Posted by ridgemanron

I have made note of Plex's TSB's and it's good information to have in the event
problems concerning them appear. Some use bloodhounds for finding out things
not otherwise obvious.......we use 'Plex' and we don't even have to feed him!

I have a 2.5 Manual Beetle and havent noticed any noises yet from the transmission. I have been listening more closely though since reading about it being an issue.
