I have a 55 plate vRS with about 51k on it, I haven't noticed it before until I was pulling through the drive through this morning .

I had my window down and when putting it into first upon pressing the clutch down a relatively loud springy noise could be heard from under the front of the car. You can't actually hear it when you're inside the car though.

I understand how a clutch works but I just wouldn't expect it to be as audible as it is!

Is it a problem anyone else has had? The spring isn't on its way out is it? Mileage wise what is the life expectancy of the clutch?

The spring on the clutch pedal in the footwell makes a creaking noise on mine sometimes. I've given it a good inspection and have greased the hell out of the mechanism, but it still creaks! Kinda annoying.

I can sometimes hear the springy noise you talk of too, in the engine bay, when pressing the clutch. I guessed it was just normal, so forgot about it.......

No idea what it is to be honest!

It is weird.... i'm wondering if it may need a cleanup after the storms the other day. Hit a massive bit of surface water which absolutely drowned the car!

The pedal return spring might make a "springy" noise. The clutch spring itself is a "diaphragm spring" (like a leaf spring but circular, not long and thin) and doesn't make the sorts of noises you'd normally associate with springs.

Mines the same - just noticed it the other day
