Chirping noise and its not a bird

[noddy]

Hi Felas

I have just started gitting a chirping noise comming from the engine/gearbox area when my clutch pedal is depressed.
Any ideas?

Is it the same noise both with and without the engine running? Get someone else in the front seat to press the clutch pedal while you move round the van to try and locate the 'chirp'.

Mine makes a noise - not sure it's a chirp - but its lack of lubrication (I think).

Your clutch release bearing is probably on the way out.

I didnt want to say anything...........but thats what it sounds like dooder

That what I was thinking, or clutch drag (no forward movement though), so looks like its the clutch release bearing, I knew I should have fitted a new one last time I had the engine out.

Any ideas on how many miles it will last before its really shot, I don't fancy getting the engine out till the weather warms up.

a million dollar question i,m afraid ........ just keep you ear out for the sound getting worse ,hope for the summer to come early and try to keep your foot off the clutch pedal as much as possible :lol:

I'm guessing that as the clutch pedal affects it then that is more likely but this is the sound of a blown manifold gasket
