Hi all,
Noticed the clutch pedal was feeling odd yesterday. Today it was still feeling funny, and on the way home tonight I could only hear what I'd describe as a rattling screech, which was intermittent. No music on the way home, just the windows down listening out for the noise.
So the clutch pedal is jerky. I parked up, released the clutch and the screeching was back, as soon as I dip the clutch it goes away - so I'm pretty much guessing it is the clutch bearing.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas how much a new clutch kit (clutch + flywheel + pressure plate kit I'm lead to believe?) would cost. It's an 1998 A3 1.8T (AGU engine code) for those that don't know me. It has an AmD remap. The miles are creeping up now, and I knew it was a matter of time until I needed a new one. I'm not particularly looking to uprate the clutch as I've been happy with the OEM.
By the state of teh sound, I think it's pretty obvious I need one ASAP, as I'm going to be off the road - which is a ******!
Thanks for any help / suggestions. Would there be any further tests I could do to fully check it is DEFINITELY the clutch?
Cheers
