Hello there, my clutch has started making a creaking noise on cupra 290
It has done it before but then the noise went and now it has come back with a vengeance, you can hear the same crraking under the bonnet coming from behind the turbo its sounds like but i cant see anything down there, has any one any ideas what it could be, thank you

I presume this is when you press the clutch pedal, not just with the clutch disengaged/engaged.

Only thing I can think is is part of the pivots that connect the pedal to the master cylinder through the bulkhead

or where the slave cylinder moves the clutch release lever at the back of the gearbox.

Fraid you might have to stick your head in the engine whilst someone moves the pedal to work it out.

I do have some leon service manuals that cover the gearbox/clutch in great detail if you PM me

Some pedals have nylon bushes at the hinge, a spray with silicon or similar might cure that?
