Car is going in to see if another clutch needed - What do you think?

[vectraboyy]

My car is rattling again like a rattle snake.
I think it's the clutch and it's booked in for December 16th to confirm if it is.

Its only been on 10,000 miles

I have a couple of video's of it on tick over:



Note: Clutch is depressed on this video and the car was warm as it had just come back from a trip.


If you don't depress the clutch in then it is awful eek. :'(



Any opinions.

I should post up a vid of mine - I can't hear anything other than what is a normal noise for a deisel. Mines bang and clunks.

Mines is terrible in the cold, sounds like the flywheel. If it was done within a year then it should be under warranty. Then even 10,000miles alone is unacceptable clutch/flywheel life.

Yeah it was only done 4 months ago lol

They have said i souldn't pay for it but if its not clutch then ill have to pay for the work to check it which could be alot.

They have booked it for the 15th but im just curious as if no-one thinks nowt wrong ill cancel it lol

Sounds like the flywheel m8. They should have offered to fix this - even if you paid for parts and a bit of labour extra. It is always a false economy to change one and not the other.

I'm being a complete *****.

They changed the clutch and flywheel.

I think my flywheel has gone again not the clutch.

Im in a bit of a tired state atm lol

My bad.


PS: Could a mod change the title to say flywheel instead of clutch please

You should'nt have a problem getting that changed FOC under the parts warranty. Fingers crossed mate

[vectraboyy]

Hopefully, yeah.

My only concern is whether the DMF is actually damaged.

IF it isnt then i have to foot the bill as they are going to take it apart. Eeek.

There's a noticable difference on start up so would have thought it would be dmf related.
