Good afternoon one and all,
After some much needed help and information. My Mrs drives a 2013 Skoda yeti 2.0 diesel 4x4, just over 60k on the clock with full service history.
So yesterday whilst out driving only a relatively short distance we noticed a knocking noise (audible from inside the cabin) only when stationary and in first gear. Car still drives spot on and smooth through the gears. We parked up turned car off and on again the noise went away... She then popped to the shops this morning again car drove spot on to the shop but on the return trip it started doing it again, once she returned home I went to see if it was still doing it and nothing (I wanted to film the noise if I'm honest).
Can anyone please shed any light on this issue? My first thought is clutch release bearing? Even if it was just that I'm guessing gearbox would need to be taken out to replace? So probably advisable to replace clutch and dual mass flywheel at the same time? Any idea on the cost of this part and labour? I have a trust worthy mechanic who is reasonably priced just he's off until the new year so don't want to bother him.
I have advised my other half not to use the car for now.
Any help or information greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
