146: Very noisey clutch!
Hi
my clutch on my 1997 146 1.6ts has been noisey for about a year now , when you depress the pedal theres like a a "sssssshhh" sound which goes away when you life the pedal again. thats been happening for about a year now and doesn't seem to be getting any worse , but in the past couple of weeks theres been that noise plus a metal against metal tapping / rubbing noise on occasions, which i can actually feel on the pedal, it sounds horrible, but goes away when you lift the pedal. everything else feels ok, car changes gear ok, clutch isn't slipping or anything like that, the gear change is fine! does it sound like a new clutch is on it's way!? , or could it be something inside the clutch that needs changing/fixing , i've been quoted about =A3400 for a new clutch which is a bit steep! thanks Chris |

I am on my third clutch in my 146 ti. 176,000 miles and still going
strong so no complaints. On both occasions the clutch failure was preceded by a rushing noise when the clutch pedal was depressed. In both cases it was the thrust bearing which was wearing. I was advised that if the feel of the clutch pedal is not changing then you should be OK but any change and you should replace the clutch. I ignored this advice the second time and suffered a complete failure (the clutch would not disengage - scary in town traffic). On both occasions I paid about £400, mostly labour. Apparently the 2.0l twinspark is a sh*t of a job. I don't know about the 1.6 (boxer?).
