kongo127 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Today with the car turned off i noticed that when i press the clutch pedal i can hear some cracking sounds while i am pressing it to the floor. :shock: But it seems to come from the engine bay... :roll: Any ideas? :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted September 13, 2004 do you mean creaking or cracking?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kongo127 0 Posted September 13, 2004 hmmmm... :oops: I mean it makes noises like it was a stressed old clutch cable (older cars have it). But corrado´s clutch is hydraulic... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Mine made possibly a similar noise and I believe it is the pressure plate on it's way out. Someone may correct me here but the addition of a new VR6 clutch into my G60 soon eliminated it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted September 13, 2004 a lot of people have said about this, i think its normal mine used to do it before i changed the clutch when it exploded (nothing to do with the creaking dont worry) i gave all the pivot points on the clutch release arm a good coat of copper slip and i think that helped as long as the clutch still works well and feels ok i wouldnt worry about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 14, 2004 you may also find that a little grease applied to the pedal's pivot will cure it... ;) the amount of muck, sand and grit that gets down there off your feet is unreal, and at least some of it's gonna get onto the pivots during the life of the car... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 14, 2004 a lot of people have said about this, i think its normal mine used to do it before i changed the clutch when it exploded (nothing to do with the creaking dont worry) i gave all the pivot points on the clutch release arm a good coat of copper slip and i think that helped as long as the clutch still works well and feels ok i wouldnt worry about it This creaking is common to most 02A cable boxes. I know of 4 Corrados that do it and Vince and I spent a few head scratching minutes trying to figure it out on mine. The noise is coming from inside the bell housing, so not pedal or slave cylinder related. I actually think it's the ceramic ball on the actuator rubbing on the metal socket of the release arm as mentioned above, and yep, greasing the ball and socket helps, but not for long unfortunately :x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
