Technical Noisy in first and second gear

[Damageddad]

Hi all
I have a 2012 500 lounge 1.2. Question, when I pull away in first the noise inside the cabin sounds like the classic air cooled cars, it is still there in 2nd gear. If I give it the beans not so much is this common or do I have an issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing that comes in my mind is that intake bearing is going. First and second gear are nearest to the bearing and will suffer most from misalignement.

She is booked in for next Tuesday for investigation, and repair.

Just got her back after just over week, ended up with a new gearbox. Luckily the 3 month warranty covered the cost. All sounds good again.

The input bearing failing will do that.
