Jst running in my MY00,as I change gear at about 3500RPM there is a rattling/ buzzing sound which sounds like its coming from the clutch or under the bonnet. I know thats a bit vague but I'd welcome your observations. Now it's done 200 miles it seems to be diminishing a bit.
Any suggestions?

 

Hi CLS,that will be the clutch pipe,drivers side of the bulkhead 4 pipes in a row.Bottom pipe touches the bulkhead and resonates.Bend it out slightly and slide the black sleeve under the white clip.(wish I had a pound for eveyone of those I had done LOL)
Have made it a routine part of PDI/servicing at work cos we see so many

Thanks Steve,
that sounds an encouragingly ordinary problem!
I'll let you know how I get on

Cheers

I'm sure Steve's right. I had exactly the same problem (MY00) especially at higher revs. It sounded, and felt through the pedal, horrible! Friends tried it and diagnosed a new clutch at least!

Driving like a granny, in trepidation I took it to my local dealer, not expecting to see the car again for a few weeks. They fixed it in 30 seconds. Relief or what!

Well Steve having taken your excellent advice my problem 'buzzing' has completely stopped and my blood pressure is back to normal!
Many thanks for your words of wisdom!!!

Steve(did the same to a V5 today )
