james4287 1 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 i've got a soft sounding dull tapping noise comming from my obd2 vr6 at idle speed. But when i press the clutch pedel it goes. also if you can imagine an engine mount loose then rattling about when you switch the engine off? it makes that noise too, but foot on the clutch it doesn't.it not a load noise either, neither of them, if the heater fan or radio is on you can't here them.what do we reckon ?

spindat45 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sounds like the lay shaft bearing in your gearbox has wear. When you press the clutch pedal you are disconnecting the gearbox from the engine so nothing in the box is turning. With the pedal up the noise will be heard. It may be less noticable after a geabox oil change but unlikely to go away completely. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
