Creaking sound
« on: 20 September 2017, 19:22 »
Car seems to have developed a creaking type sound when pulling away in first and clutch pedal coming up. Can't tell if it's the clutch pedal itself or something in the engine bay. Can't hear anything when on the move so I think it's just present at lower speeds. Anyone else experienced the same?

Are you sure it's not your knee creaking?!  :grin:

It's not unheard of for clutch pedals to creak and groan but that would normally by audible on most gear changes.
If it's just pulling away could it maybe be the handbrake taking time to disengage? Ok, that noise will be coming from the rear but car box sections can carry noise in funny ways.

Knees, neck, fingers, elbows take your pic haha

If I didn't know any better it sounds like something in the glovebox. The black cover behind the rear view mirror is also lose but I don't think it's that. Been trying to work out how to remove and refix the cover but might just leave it for warranty at first service.
