Sorry about all the questions recently :oops: my polo 1.4 8v is booked in for a new clutch next week, the one i have at the moment creaks, will this be fixed when the new clutch is fixed or s this something to do with the pedal box?

Thanks again

James

Could be the cable or the pedalbox. I wouldnt say the clutch is causing it though - but it depends which side the creek is on.

Ahh thanks for the reply. I also noticed when i just went for a drive there is a slight click on the push own of the clutch, does this help with dianoses?

Thanks James

Is that on the interior side - sounds like the pedal box weld is about to break if it is.

Mine had creaking before it was replaced. Has gone since now though, so you should be fine.

i have also since had a clicking like yours too though. I don't think it's the pedal box myself, but will go and get it checkd out soon.

I noticed today that mine creaks abit also :? . I only heard it when I pressed the clutch down with the engine off and my door open.

What do u mean by the interior side? I can hear it creaking slightly and hear and feel the click slightly with the engine off, whats the best way to get this checked out, go to VW (i hear some have had it done under warranty?) or go to a vw specialist?

Thanks

Is it creaking from the foot well, or is the creak on the engine side>?

Some dealers will do it goodwill others wont give you a word in edgeways. Worth a few phonecalls!

Mines definitely exterior. i think it may be the clutch cable, although the mec said it looked fine when he changed the clutch :?
