Title: grinding noise
Post by: reflex11 on May 30, 2012, 02:43:45 pm

I'm not sure what to call it but, this has happened since I had my new clutch/flywheel replaced I thought it would go away but it hasn't :jumping:

just wondering if any other fellow mk5 gti owners have this aswell, when applying gas just under the biting point sometimes there is a grinding noise like something is spinning its hard to explain but
when the clutch is fully disengaged it's not present, only when engaging, any help is appriecated because I think it's another trip the the garage just want some second opinions before getting fobbed off
 :driver:

Had this before
Sounds like the thin plate behind the flywheel between the gearbox and engine has been bent a little.
Easy done when removing/fighting with a heavy 6 speed gearbox

The plate can usually be straightened ok with the gearbox still place.

If it is what I think it is, the plate just needs tweaked a little
Does no damage except scrapes the plate which you prob can't see anyway.
