Noisy Clutch

Hi All,

My Octavia vRS had covered 15,000 miles now - I've started to notice that if I don't use the car for a day or two when I start it and go to pull away I get a strange noise as I let the clutch out.........it dissapears after 5 or 6 presses of the clutch pedal but sounds like it could be a release bearing or similar................anyone experienced this? If so, what was it?

Cheers in advance...............Sam

Funnily enough....or not!! Mine is just coming up to 15k as well. Was driving it around a roundabout at a serverly prompt speed (Private Road, of course), changed into third and floored it and hit the limiter?!?!?!?!? Wasn't riding the clutch etc, let the accelerator go and back on the power and it was fine. Then happened yesterday...only in fourth?!?!?!

I'm drawing a conclusion here that there may be a common part at work???

Not to shamelessly hijack the post, Sam, but while they are thinking of clutches and the like.....Does this sound like I need it looking at???

I believe it should be the release bearing. It is not confined to Octys but Fabias as well. I think the manual gearboxes all have weak bearings.
