Pete Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Does it make the noise even when the car isn't running? If so it's possibly your pedal box starting to give, common fault, if it's only when your engine is running its more likely to be your clutch release bearing.

Mobieus_uk Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 does the noise change or go away if you put a little pressure on the clutch with engine running and stationary, if so then as suggested above the clutch release bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyseemerollin Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 when the engine is running and stationary there is no noises at all only when im driving when i change gear and as soon as i take my foot of the clutch ,,the grinding noise comes at the biting point of the clutch ,,,if you understand what im going on about lol,,,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 maybe clutch has worn to the rivets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Surely if that was the case the OP would notice a fair amount of slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Quote so hard to diagnose a problem when not in front of it, take it to the clutch specialist, I'm sure they do a free health check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 If this is any gear and when moving then it's probably the 085 chocolate box output shaft bearing as that is the weakest point in the box. or possibly diff. http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?/topic/41812-the-definitive-gearbox-thread/ Check the oil level, or better yet drain it and put new in and check for shiny particles in the old oil. Put slightly thicker oil in and squeeze in an extra 300ml if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
