I have a small problem with my Ford

MY01 Fiesta 1.3 when I sit in neutral with the engine running and clutch depressed the engine sounds okay. With the clutch up it sounds noisier. I think it has got worse BTw teh car has done 2000 miles. Its under warranty so there isnt really an issue just wondered if anyone had come across this. I think it maybe a warped clutch plate, any ideas ?.

Here comes the scoob element to the post it has an SIDC sticker in the back window .

Cheers

They all do it, clutch release bearing I think. You could get em to change it, but it will happen again! My Ka does the same.

 

bearing?

 

Chris,

Shame on you for abusing General

But still : http://www.howstuffworks.com/clutch3.htm

So yeah, clutch release bearing.

 

Clutch release bearing (thrust bearing).

 

my TD astra did it for 100k
no probs at all

 

Yep its the thrust bearing you may as well change the clutch while your doing the bearing.

yeah, prolly the release bearing.... will start groaning when you slip the clutch soon! Could be the input shaft on the gearbox, either way just screw the hell out of your warranty!

 

I warned you about them full bore launches at the traffic lights mate!

 

cheers guys
