I have a problem. When it warms up, there is a crackling sound when the clutch is pressed and released. It is not there when it is cold..

Does anybody have?

Not possible for me to view/listen to video "private".

It might just be that the plastic parts or pedal pivot "shells" are causing that noise, maybe try spraying some silicon/PTFE maintenance spray in that area - avoiding getting on the "foot areas" of the pedals. Other than that, it just might be that the clutch action is stiffening up when the car has warmed up - and that is causing the clutch pedal pivots to be getting/seeing a higher than usual load which results in the noises that you are hearing.

Oh sorry. It’s public now.

Check it!

Yes I can hear it now, maybe try placing your hand on the primary(master) cylinder and see if you can "feel" that noise - there will be a switch or switches on the clutch pedal or its bracket - it could be it or one of them, again spray with silicon/PTFE maintenance spray.

sounds like it's either a spring or the pedal bearing. As has been advised, starting at the pedal lubricate the bearings using a lubricant suitable for plastic and rubber. If you can see any springs on the pedal box then try lubricating then with something like WD 40 sparingly and a tiny blob of grease on the hook on the end of the spring.

Under the bonnet look to see if the hydraulic pipe from the master to slave cylinder is moving a little bit and rubbing something.

That's about all you can do, a garage may be able to lubricate the clutch release bearing pivots, not sure to be honest.

every clutch pedal on every new VAG car creaks when hot

why - i dont know

hopefuly it doesnt cause problems in the future

The noise is clearly coming from the lower slave cylinder. It probably needs some grease at the end where it pushes the push rod.

Medley!

same as mine?

I can hear the sound while stopped, engine turned off and when I role my window down - the sound is not as loud as yours

but I suppose if I would film it like you did that it would be the same because it is the same type of sound as yours

I thing I have always spoken - minor sound means nothing while something is operating right and while it is not affecting something else

I have very good hearing (i would say that I can hear what most people cannot hear) - and this sound means nothing to me, I can feel the sound even while driving because it is a part of this springy vibration of the clutch pedal

and in mine opinion the sound is caused with heat

I think this sound is not something that can be solved

and I hope that it doesnt affect the clutch lifespan which on manula 1.0 tsi can be tricky and not considered something to be fixeable under the warranty at kodas cost

for sure the clutch isnt the best - long ckutch pedal, hard lutch pedal, vibrating clutch pedal, squeaky clutch pedal.....in 2025?, cmmon skoda, you can do better

I’m sure it’s caused by the heat, because I have to drive a few kilometers before it starts making this sound, and I can even feel the noise through the pedal — or I don’t even know how to explain it. There’s no such noise when it’s cold. So yours is noisy too, but only when warm? Can you feel it through the pedal as well? If you have time, could you make a video of it?

Its the same with mine

I posted the topic on clutch pedal vibrations when changing gears

I am not good at filming and uploading the videos, i am sorry

But its the same or very similar and annoying

thank you .How many km does your car have?

14.000 km, bought it new in 10/2023

Everything the same - sound, feeling, from day one.

If it wasnt for the clutch the car would be ok

what did garage tell you? it's normal? nothing problem?

I didnt tell the garage about it

beause of the previous bad situations I had with official garages

(they tell that is normal, that it is how it is, maybe they start changing some things and ruin other things, and nonostant what they do car behaves the same and in the electronic worksop book for my car a have a bible written what is wrong with it.....try to sell it later to someone with those poems written and car acting as same as from day 1)

Please let me know if it changes.

Yes, i will keep you informed

thanks!

I went to the local authorized service center, they listened to the noise and said they think it's the clutch assembly plates rattling. It probably won't fall apart. No warranty replacement. It's a disgusting business policy. The Hungarian importer dismissed me saying it's normal operational noise, there's nothing wrong...

This is the same way they conduct in Croatia..

They always say it is the matter of driving comfort and nothing more serious and they avoud to do anything during the warranty.

Mah...

jesus :/

When you shift between 2500-3000, there's a clearly noticeable resonance, and it’s like I can faintly hear something as well. Is it the same for you?

Yes, its the same. There is topic about that. And the vibrations of the clutch pedal when shifting/raising rpms as well
