Clutch Clutch Problem!!

DPG87 · 14th November 2009, 22:46

Hey everyone, looking for a bit of input...

I've had a high pitched rattle noise coming everytime i move off from standing and when i took it to the dealer this morning the guy told me it was a loose bearing in my clutch and they'd need to take it in to investigate it, he said that he was "99% sure" it would be a fault and that it would be covered under warranty but said he cant be certain until its taken in cos it could be a worn clutch...surely the clutch cant be worn out already? (my CTR is only just coming up for 2 years old and only done 14k miles) said 6-700 to fix if not under warranty

has anyone else heard of this happening? i know there is another thread but the guy didnt mention anything about a misalignment

any help would be much appreciated!

Can't believe it would be a worn clutch as a clutch should last 80,000 - 100,000 miles at least, if the car is driven normally. Some members here had a problem with a slipping clutch which was fixed under warranty.

cheers mate! thats exactly what i was thinking...i had a wee old corsa before my CTR and i havent changed my driving style (well obv accelerate a shed load quicker) and i had no problems with the clutch in that so its a joke if thats what it is

Not so sure about the high pitched rattle noise! I had my clutch replaced FOC but there are many members that have had to pay

Read up on the other threads and argue the toss if they say its not covered. Good luck
