i have started to notice a noise coming from the clutch, when i press clutch in a little the noise starts, i have been told this is the thrust bearing, as my car is still under warranty,is this part included in the warranty?

I have to be honest.... I don't know.... BUT I would it expect it to be! If under 2years old I think it would have to be covered. If in 3rd year it may be a little awkward.

For what its worth.... personally, I think anything clutch related should be good for around 100k miles.

lets see what others say....

Is the clutch considered a consumable, albeit one that should last quite some time? I'm not sure, although I would expect the bearing to outlast the clutch itself, and you may have a case as it's not the clutch that's gone, but a bearing... would a wheel bearing be covered by the warranty? I'd have thought you would have a case for it to be changed.

How many miles has your Superb done?

Does sound like the thrust bearing.

A common cause of premature failure is those who regularly sit in stationary traffic with the car in gear and their foot on the clutch instead of neutral.

i have done 44500 miles, had it serviced 20,000 as recommended by dealership

You can download a copy of the latest SkodaAuto New Car Warranty via the link below. That warranty lists the clutch release bearing as a being a wear and tear item. :(

guys just had clutch and flywheel replaced, had to pay for clutch but got flywheel done under warranty, they replaced with solid flywheel which i have been told by 2 different vag mechanics thats its a bad move going from floating to solid flywheel, has anyone else heard this?

The job of a dual mass flywheel is to absorb the 'pulsing' you get from a diesel engine, this effect can damage a gearbox and clutch over longer periods of time and the DMF prevents this. The only downside is the design of a DMF isn't exactly robust and they are prone to failure. Its the whole 'rock and hard place' scenario.

There are some single mass (solid) flywheels that can iron out some of the pulsing effect without resorting to the DMF design. I would be asking the question about the fitting of a solid flywheel and the longevity of any components downstream of it. If the replacement has been sanctioned by Skoda then I can only assume they have installed a part that is fit for purpose and haven't taken the cheapest route out with no regard for the vehicle's longevity once the warranty expires.
