new clutch that has "slight" chirping noise when depressed
Hi all, its my first post so please go easy on me.
My wife owns the 5 and the clutch needed replacing. She in her "expert" knowledge opted for a home enthusiast mechanic to change it. I didnt like the idea but she wanted to do it this way..... So the guy has done really well, changed it without lifting gear and did it in 16 hours.:eek: The new clutch is a LUK and works well BUT there is a slight issue: there is a high pitched slight chirping noise that goes away when we press the clutch pedal down. then it comes back as soon as the pedal is released. i am sure its not quite right, can anyone offer some pointers to help me have an educated conversation with him in the troubleshooting? thanks |

Gotta be a release bearing.

Did they replace the release bearing with a new 1?
Did they clean & lube where the release bearing slides? I assume the noise wasn't there before replacing the clutch? |

I have had the same issue. Did you ever get to the bottom of what it was? I even went as far as to change the clutch slave Cylinder as i read somewhere that was a problem but still not fixed the noise. Still chirping 😔

99% chance it's the release bearing.

i rang the parts supplier and they said its unlikely as in 20years of working there he has never known an LUK clutch to come back. I cant be the first one? Surley im not that unlucky! Ps. Thank you for replying!! This is REALLY wrecking my head 😫😫 |

If your shadetree mechanic didn't replace the throwout bearing, THROW HIM OUT. No one goes to the trouble of pulling a tranny and uses the old throwout NO MATTER what the reason was.
It's dumber than changing the oil and using the old filter. Just a LOT harder to fix. |
