Clutch release bearing noise

[EoinM]

Noticed a bit of a groaning noise (yes, I am completely aware of the comments that will follow) last night when the car was idling, press in the clutch noise goes.

They reckon release bearing is gone in the clutch. Bottom line is a new clutch (could just do the bearing but while they have it stripped they may as well do both). 78k km up on it (less than 50k miles) where it spends 90% or its time in 5th on main roads and its treated like a fuping baby all the time. Never been over the service interval, anything not quite right is looked into straight away and receipts for the whole sh1tting lot.

750 yo yo apparently for the job to top it off

To say I'm unimpressed is an understatement. Its not as if the thing is thrashed or anything. I've been careful of the clutch all along - now I wish i'd riden the bloody thing rotten

Rant over for now

Hope this helps. If you need one, you may find it in that lake behind in the next few days

im guessing its out of warranty?

dont forget it doesnt have to be done at the stealers.

Your clutch isnt covered on warranty anyway is it because its classed as wear and tear? Mine used to make that noise but now its stopped.

Clutch is not covered. Went to get a price from the stealer there...definitive price including service was €1249.52...hmmm...guess where I wont be going

Hi,

quick update. Went to another dealer for a second opinion and he reckons the noise is coming from inside the gearbox because when the clutch is depressed the noise doesn't stop immdiately but slows down gradually to a stop.

He basically said to live with it, but as the noise is getting slightly louder I'm beginning to become more unimpressed. I think its possible to hear a bit of a grumble in the lower gears moving slowly now too.

Anyone had any similar experience?

Thanks in advance

Bearing in the DMF...

 

[EoinM]

I had to get the gearbox rebuilt as it was the bearings were shot. Hope that's not your issue.

so that means I would need to change my clutch bearings or flywheel ?
The previous owner recently changed the flywheel already.

oh man...I just hope thats not my issue.
Most people tell me get SMF, but I dont want to hear any noise, and maybe later on I will be running stage 2. I dont want a hard stiff clutch.

 

[toot]

My guess is that this has happend to the flywheel and causing the sound as it did to mine.

how are we suppose to start our cars, with the clutch in or out ?
I find the car starts different when i have the clutch pressed in.
