matrix 0 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 coming from the front end can feel it through the pedals too hard to explain the noise like a vibration noise but high pitched. Link to post Share on other sites

matrix 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 defo not loose bolt or abs i took it for a drive last night and it didnt do it it sounds like something rubbing its too hard to explain i reckon its something to do with the clutch or around that on another note my abs doesent always work but the light went off last night so i gave it a test and it work fine when the lights off but the diff lock dont work thats when i tested to see if it was still making the noise tryed a few fast pull aways and all i got was wheel spin.sorry also i know this is getting long now but the noise dont seem as bad if i pull away really slow so its gotta be gearbox clutch area i have no clutch slip and the gears work fine do clutches fail in any other way than wearing down or shattering i remember a mate had an old volvo that made the same noise all the time any its too early to babble more so i will leve it with you guys hope i gave you enough info thx.phil Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 If you can feel it through the pedals it is very likely to be driveshaft related. Do you often accelerate hard in 1st gear, particularly out of junctions? One of your driveshafts may be on the verge of popping out. Link to post Share on other sites
28v6r 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 When you lift the clutch pedal.. Does the noise appear then?? and if you dip the pedal does the noise disappear? When you pull away do you reckon that the "Vibration" is apparent then settles down or is it there all the time? Link to post Share on other sites

28v6r 0 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Jez.. yours sounds like the Thrust bearing needing replaced, failing that it could be the pressure plate..Vag clutches aren't always the best.. never had a pressure plate collapse, clutch plate was fine but pressure plate splines gave up.. hence no gears... or judder before packing up!

richievr 1 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 check the rear wishbone bushesmine was gone and made a hideous noise - because it's bolted through the sub frame the noise is amplified and sounds terrible. . . .i could also feel mine through the pedals. . .does it only do it when you pull away and come to a stop???? not while driving?

matrix 0 Posted October 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 it only happend really bad the other day but only happeds in first gear when lifting the clutch or on the biting point once moving noise all gone no feedback through pedal either could it be weak clutch springs also how much should my gearboc mount be moving i can rock mine quite a bit just wondering if it really needs replacing.
