Help With Gearbox? Clutch Noise?

[Tigger]

Any help gratefully recieved.

 

I have a 130 03 Tdi

I have had the new flywheel recall done about 3 mths ago. I have just had a service at the local garage.

 

Driving the car tonight there is a strange noise coming from the clutch area. When you pull away and engage the clutch you hear a spinning sound as if it is overspin for a few moments change gear and pull away a bit more then engage clutch for gear change and you get this over spin like somethi ng is rubbing noise.

 

It does not appear to happen if you change gear at very low revs?

I've got exactly the same thing happening to mine now, although my flywheel was done a long time ago. Could it be the release bearing?

Hmm

 

Now then there seems to be a common issue here fellas. Mine I am sure started making this noise after the cam belt was changed but it may be a red herrring.

 

My sisters Alhambra Stylance 130 makes the sound you are describing 40,000 miles (still on original cambelt), mine does the same 28000 miles.

 

I think we should raise a poll and ask all drivers of 130bhp Alhambra/galaxy/sharan to try accelerating hard in a low gear, lift off the gas whilst at the same time put down the clutch and see who hears this dry bearing/rumble/chatter sound.

 

I suspect its either

 

1. DMF (the two parts oscillating)

2. Turbo vanes chattering (turbo spooling up then opening vanes to high exhaust flow)

3. The bearing in the alternator running dry (they sieze up and then fall off so at some point the bearings must have no lube in them). Just a thought as when the engine is under heavy load there is more of a thumping motion to the engine which the pulley is designed to smooth out.

 

 

Its driving me daft at the moment as I have tuned into this sound and it really bugs me.

 

 

Lets see who can make the noise and have a look at what your engine code is.

 

Nice to get to the bottom of this, mybe I will harass Seat again

 

However as a point of interest if you ever get to drive a new seat ibiza TDi and you press the accelerator down hard in a low gear and suddenly depress the clutch whilst coming off the gas you get a god almighty rumble/chattering noise from the engine bay.

hi - sounds like my 115bhp Galaxy is making the same noise - did you get to the cause of the problem and was it a easy/cheap fix? Thx
