I recently purchased a 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

 

Sounds very much like clutch release bearing,, which is a gearbox out job....

 

Cheers Ron, If thats the case have you any idea what that might cost at a dealer or specialist like Pro Sport / Scoobyclinic?
