dr_mat 0 Posted June 10, 2009 The missus' Pug 206 just decided that when the clutch is open it's going to rattle like a good 'un. I'm guessing the clutch release bearing is gone, because it seems to drive ok when the clutch is engaged, but just wonder if anyone else has any pointers on this sort of thing and whether it's likely to do anything catastrophic if we carry on driving it around.. We'll get it looked at asap, but she relies on the car to go to work and it's unlikely the garage will be able to fix anything tomorrow so... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Has she been out racing again? ;) Only suggesting as an alternative but possibly flywheel related? Not quite sure what 'rattling' fully entails though ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I wondered about that. It doesn't feel unbalanced, but it could well be the flywheel come loose. Which is a little more worrying .. ! "Rattling.." well that's about the only way I can describe it tbh. A quite loud, clattery noise that goes away when you take your foot off the clutch. Even at idle, when the car is stationary, it's rattling away. Much louder than timing chains. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 11, 2009 Do 206's have dual mass flywheels? So your 2nd port of call is obviously Peugeot forums :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She's dropped it in the garage this morning, he immediately said "clutch release bearing", but I doubt he'll be able to do anything with it before the weekend, so no point in dragging it's sorry arse around Berkshire any longer. -she'll leave it there.

Toad 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Do 206's have dual mass flywheels? Our Landrover TD5 went through 3 dual mass flywheels. Admittedly the first one was a recall after one came apart and ate a bell housing on one vehicle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Turns out one of the damping springs in the clutch had snapped. Clutch is now replaced and good as new. Cheers all..! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
