parna86arosa Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Im getting a whiring/rubbing/grinding noise from somewhere when I press the clutch pedal and also a whiring when I do 60 plus anyone had this problem on a 1.0 arosa or know what it could be ? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TArosa Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 got this problem on my loop 1.0 and had it on my arosa 1.0 and a 6n2 1.0... its most likely the thrust bearing on its way out, these are usually included in a clutch kit.. got mine of ebay (supplied by eurocarparts.co.uk) for £42.00 so not too expensive but its worth while asking around for someone who can fit a clutch for cheap (i know a few people if you wanted work doing) garage will probs charge you about £200-£250 for part and labour... other than this it could be your syncro which mean a new box im affraid.. 1.0 VW boxes are renouned for being weak as piss :/ ... hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbHancock Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 mine was grinding/crunching every time i went into reverse, and was proper stiff to get into 1st 2nd and 3rd...it finally gave up on friday on my way back from work...called the AA and he said it's the pedal bracket not pulling on the clutch cable. Garage reckons its mostly all labour so no more than £100. Fingers crossed thats the problem and i don't need a whole new clutch :s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Sounds like the pedal box. I'd be surprised if they only charged £100 cos it's pretty labour intensive as the steering column etc needs to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
