Hi all Now then how much noise should you hear from clutch/crb when the clutch is depressed ? New clutch and recon gearbox recently fitted Noise Seems to be more prominent when warmed up On a scale of 1-10 about 3 Only I have not noticed it Before Should it be near silent? Maybe it's normal just me being paranoid
It doesn't howl More like a yada -yada-yada-yada When clutch depressed But not excessive I tell ya I wish I never had it changed What is it with clutch kits? I kid you not 2 have gone in the skip for being wrong Recently It seems nobody can supply you with the correct one Ps clutch cable is adjusted to the max Looking like the whole lot going to be ripped out and start again Ken idiots I only asked the see you next Tuesdays To do what I want Why can't they do it
@monkeyvanwestybike Sorry to hear that's terrible Try @davidoft supplied a new old stock for my 1600. Geord.
If you get "chattering" with the clutch depressed it usually means that the clutch release bearing is knackered. Its only four bolts after all...............
Probably best to have the whole lot out again. I've never had probs with clutch kits. The Sachs one I got about a year ago from VWH went straight in. Worth asking where they got theirs from.
@monkeyvanwestybike I got a clutch release bearing from my old one was working perfectly fine you can have it if that helps
I fken hate them kids at vhw Just a joke My mechanic mate saying it's wrong it's wrong And them little ucks saying Yes yes that's the right one They know absolutely nothing But then what do you expect for the minimum wage Thanks for that Geordie No worries I will sort it
So as the above V dubber's have said It sounds like the clutch release bearing. When you take the motor out to check/change the release bearing have a look at the needle bearing in the end of the fly wheel nut. Just check the needle bearing hasn't gone knackered too.
Also, when you got it apart, have a look at the fingers on the pressure plate for signs of uneven wear or anything untoward, and the same if you have rivets on the clutch plate springs. Before you go crazy when you pulled the motor, have a real good look at everything including the thrust bearing holder on type clips, they can be little bar stew ards for not sitting right and giving up the ghost. Ozziedog,,,,,,,pop up a pic when it's apart!
