derekod Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 I have just had the csc replaced on my 2006 MKII 130BHP as it there was a tearing sound from the bearing as it was half way pressed. There was no noise when the car was in neutral with the pedal fully pressed or released. The clutch looked new on the car so it wasn't replaced, the problem is that the tearing sound is back again after one days usage, I have never experienced this before, I was told the csc is the same one used for a normal clutch to a heavy duty clutch.

derekod Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Posted July 24, 2014 I would just like to provide an update on this matter, the noise was actually from the DMF there was no sign of any play or anything unusual when the gearbox was first taken out. The warranty which was on the car would not cover it as they deemed it not to be a failure, but just wear and tear. (I feel this could be arguable). I have decided to have the solid conversion kit installed. There does not appear to be any more engine noise at idle.If anything the gear change appears to have improved.Clutch pedal has a nice feel to it now as it felt a little heavy with the original.

sparky Paul Posted July 25, 2014 Report Posted July 25, 2014 Good info. From what i can see, solid flywheel is the way to go. Quote
derekod Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Posted July 26, 2014 I do notice some extra drivetrain noise through the box especially in first and second while pulling away when you have the windows down, but can't be sure if the DMF was masking it before, as there is 119,00 miles on the car.I might try some molyslip and see if it helps, as long as it doesn't make it harder to go into gear.
