I recently purchased my first scooby (UK MY99 Turbo).

Today, it started making a strange noise. As I depress the clutch under load a it makes a strange noise (sounds like vibrating / scraping) which seems to originate from behind the dash board / behind the drivers foot well.

I have noticed that the noise is more apparent when the clutch is only slightly depressed like when you are riding the clutch a little?

Does anybody have any idea what this might be?

I must add that appart from this noise the car drives perfectly, the clutch doesnt slip and the gearbox seems fine.

Thanks

I have excatly the same problem on mine does anyone have any idea what it could be and if its terminal??

 

Sounds to me like the release bearing is worn..

My old dears sport does that.

i had the same problem could also be a spriggot bearing even highly unlikely it will go it might have

 

either way the parts are cheap but the labour isnt!!!
