207 1.4 vti same engine as mini
i noticed my gearbox is making a click noise when around 1.500-2000rpm when slowing down or running at that rpm when driving
its not driveshaft as soon as i press the clutch its quiet or put in neutral
is there a chance the gearbox is going to shxt itself if it starts to get more louder at min you can hear it without radio on but i got a feeling its going to get worse as i do alot of miles
because i rang a garage and they want nearly £1k for replacing it if they cant fix it so im thinking of carrying on with it till it fails and buy a non peugeot car
only as 83k but i wondering if previous tried hiding the issue as i did notice a rattle on idle but not when at certain rpm so i drained oil and was only 600ml soon i filled with 2lt it now makes a noise at certain rpm and it defo gearbox as it coming from passenger lower footwell

Re: gearbox how long do you roughly think it last?
Hard to know even if you'd included a video/audio recording of the noise really, but practically impossible to say without hearing it, might not even be gearbox but either way would be very helpful to hear it. My money would be on it being more likely a CV joint, or even potentially a running issue causing vibration at certain loads & making something unrelated rattle.
Also, how did the oil look that you drained out, lots of metal flakes & gunky grey paste?
