Clutch sound

Featured Replies

Hello colleagues, first excuse me for my bad English. On the subject, I drive octavia 3 1.6 tdi and 5 speeds, the factory car comes out with a one-mass flywheel of the co-driver. When it comes from a place on a slight slope up sometimes there is a noise like brakes (playing) my question is if someone had such a problem and knows the court is coming?

If I understand correctly ,I don't think it's anything to worry about if it's only a slight noise as the clutch first bites

I do not think there is no difficulty, creaking like brakes when hitting the slope up

As on your other posts, the grammar means we have to guess what you are saying.

Sorry.

Sorry ! Google translate is bad .

Hi Naiko,

I know exactly what you mean as I experienced it for the first time rather ominously on the the first day of my holiday on the Isle of Wight. This is more hilly than where I normally live and there was an occasional low pitched squeal a bit like brakes pads binding on start up and the low gear changes. The garage is going for a check on Thursday so I will advise later. It is very intermittent and the car will probably perform perfectly when it gets to the garage :) .it reminds me a bit of the noise when a clutch release bearing failed on a car I had in the past but a lot quieter. The car is a Fabia estate and coming up to 3 years with a 7 speed DSG and with 15K on the clock.

Regards,

Mike

Yes , my octavia is 5 gear manual gearbox .  Maybe because of the new invented eco-clutch that smells like a swamp when you load it and not like the old one on the brakes.

Or this bearing is droped , but no shure .

Further to my recent. Garage reluctant to replace clutch and/or box until they can hear the noise but not a sign of it over the last few weeks. I have some sympathy for them in that Skoda receiving a box with no discernible fault probably will not be amused. Will be replacing the car with a Karoq at end of year so will run it on. Will have to have an auto again as my left hip and a clutch pedal just do not get on.

Your manual gearbox is probably an entirely different issue but these small noises are always a problem especially if intermittent.
