Just picked up my new VTS. It has been serviced by the garage before i picked it up. When car is at idle with the cluch out there is a funny clicking noise, similar to that of when you miss a gear but not as loud. With cluch pressed in there is no noise. Also when moving upon pressing and lifting off the accelorator the car makes a squeaking noise, only at low speeds tho. Sorry bout the long post.

Any ideas as to what this coud be. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

is this when stationary or when moving?

if when staitionary it could be clutch release bearing, if so wouldnt worry about it til it fails, but check the tension of your clutch cable.

if moving then it could be a few things.

Mainly when stationary. Cant really hear it when moving becasue of the exhaust. If its moving, what could that be??

it is the thrust bearing (clutch release bearing).
gearbox has to come out!.

^^ exactly so best to let it just die, they normally make sounds for years, ive only ever had 1 fail on me and that was with 90k on it

so if the clutch release bearing brakes how much will that cost to repair?
