Squeeking when setting off

[RedHP]

Just wondered if anyone has a definitive answer to this issue, before I take mine in for a service....?

I had my car in today and mentioned this as one of the points I wanted the dealer to look at as I get a squeak frequently when pulling away in first gear when the car is cold in the morning in both first and reverse. It was probably worse on colder days.

The outcome is a new clutch. Looks to be an issue with the friction plate, possible manufacturing defect.

Thanks Andy and just in time, as mine goes in next Wednesday 
I'll let you know if my lot agree following inspection.

Right, they can hear the noise but cannot diagnose it, so have done nothing to correct 
They don't think that I have the above clutch issue, but have logged the problem on their system so if in future the cause is found, the work would be carried out under warranty conditions.

Argh, so frustrating

may as well join in the club. I tend to get this issue when setting off from cold. It doesn't tend to happen from warm starts.

I had a feeling it may be a clutch issue. I would be interested to see if anyone gets it resolved.

Mine seems to have been resolved when they replaced the clutch. I've done a couple of thousdand miles now on the new one and no noise.
