Grinding sound 2001 Jetta 1,8T

When I accellerate while turning left, there is a heavy rumbling sound and
the floor rumbles a bit. They changed the tranny fliud (its a 5 spd) and
didnt change anything, Would anyone have a clue or has had a problem similar
to this?
and Aparently, VW's come with a 5year/100,000km powertrain warranty. is this
true?

Thanks for your replies

I would suspect either a bad CV joint or a front wheel bearing, probably
the right bearing if the noise occurs when turning left. I guess it
could also be a loose or bad engine/trans mount or the exhaust system
touching the car somewhere.

You specified km so your car is probably not a US model. 2002+ US cars
have a 5 year 60K mile powertrain warranty. US cars 2001 and earlier
have a x (?) year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, but that is cut in
half if you are not the original owner.
