Clutch release bearing has started to squeel. Do I need it seeing to as clutch seems to work fine? If so is there anyone around Crewe you guys can recommend and what price can I expect? 2.0 petrol cd 2000W reg facelift
Cheers

sounds like the bearing is getting dry. so i would say it will need replacing before it causes an other damage.
other members could have better tips on what to do though.

Does elite pete or Loo-knee do clutches??? they are near you so it might be worth sending em a Pm...

[Welung666]

Either that or come down to me, I'll do it Rob

Bertie knows how to do one too

think mine is shot to, rattles like mad when you push the clutch in fine when its released, and now the clutch slipping sometimes as well.

You should both try Elite Pete, he is close to you both.

Does it sound like metal on metal clatter? If so it could be the dual mass flywheel

Where abouts in the West Mids are you mate?

Think my 2.2dti will need a new Clutch very soon, and I would appreciate advice or help doing it.
I don't have the right access equipment to do it myself.
If I can't find someone who is good at it then I might have to go to the VX dealer :-(

I'm in Dudley Si, right next to Merry Hell. I have everything you'll need to change it if you fancy a day over here I'll help you. Or if you'd rather just get it done, then I'll gladly do it for you

i originally thought it was the exhaust heat shields untill i noticed it only happened when i push  the clutch in, i will try and record it on phone video and post it up tomorrow

off to check how to post video!!!!

rattling when clutch down is for sure the DMF!!! the only other thing it could possibly be is worn splines on the actual centre plate, and that is usually caused by reconditioned clutch plates,
(had this twice on customer cars) so be warned people don not buy recon clutch plates!!!

I can do better than that When Bertie and I took my clutch pressure plate off it was in 2 pieces! The 3 support springs had gone completely. I've got a slightly used 4 part clutch kit if anyone needs it

hopefully there is a video included with this post

[Welung666]

Sounds like it although it's very quiet. Any chance of another with the recorder below the car?
