Engine Noise

[JordanMk3]

Your probably best phoning up garages and stuff.. Preferable clutch centres or something.. Where are you from?

I garauntee it will just need greasing up on the thrust bearing itself and on the fork.. I think what it does is wobble and rattle, and when its not greased it makes that horrible noise.. When its greased up its silent..

It does it on mine, but its not as bad.. Still noisy though.. I CBA with doing all that work, or spending loads of money on getting it sorted.. It'll get done eventually...

I'm down south. Car in for quote next Monday. Should be an interesting bill

I had the same problem. I had to take gearbox of, and guide sleeve for release bearing broke and made that noise when clutch is depressed. I than noticed that clutch lever is bad and it is not pushing release bearing evenly and that is probably reason why sleeve broke. Replaced them all and no problem since. Parts are cheap, but work may be expensive.

Ok - So got the quote from the garage. Whooping £432 in total. Heres a price break down.....

Clutch Labour - £135
Clutch - £86.55

Replace front breaks Labour - £45
Brake pads - £36.83
Brake Discs - £57.10

The clutch might be a bit difficult for me to do. But I could probably manage to do the discs & pads. That can't be too hard?

Breaks are piss easy changed mine the other day, ferdado pads 23.50 rears good pads aswell. Easy to do you will need a brake piston tool though.

Heres a guide

Yellonvi-R, I'm starting to think you live here? lol

Thanks for the link. Do you think that's a reasonable labour charge for the clutch?

 

[yellonvi-R]

I do its my second home.

 

[OrangeTek]

Just looking around the forums. That labour cost seems very reasonable!

You got any ideas if the Seat boot lid logo can be replaced. Mines cracked. Doesn't look as if i can do it without taking the whole handle off....

 

[JordanMk3]

Labour seems cheap tbh! Buy your own clutch mate, take it with you.. Clutches dont cost almost £90..

Brakes can be done in 2 hours max.. Uprated disks off ebay £30, decent pads £25.. Done

and ask about the bootlid handle on a different thread.. Will get more views..

Will do at a later date. Need to get paid before I spend money on silly little things. Was hoping I could just change the badge instead of the hole boot lock.

The dent thing didn't work. Looks like it's creased

 

[yellonvi-R]

You can take the silver badge out its spring loaded in so a dealers will sell the silver S.

You sure? I've looked every where for just the S - can't find a thing

 

[yellonvi-R]

Dealers should have them, defo comes out as i took mine out to paint it.

When I looked at it, it looked as if the S had small "O" shape holes holding it in place.

 

[yellonvi-R]

Yeah it does theres a rod that runs through it, its a pain to get back in but trust me it does come out.

 

[OrangeTek]

Tempted to cut the "O" into half and glue it on with strong glue. Can't be arsed with the hassle of taking it all off.
