[ToniPeja]

Does anyone had this issue, vw mk7 1.6 tdi 5 speed manual, there is a very loud clunk veq clutch is released also when driving and changing gears this clunk becomes even more loud mechanis are making me confuse none of them is suspecting in same issue, one of them is telling me gearbox is fault, another one is telling me axle is making this noise etc… I must mention that this thing started happening after clutch was replaced with same one as it was inside before SACHS

Since this started immediately after the clutch was changed I wouldn't have accepted the car back until they fix it. I don't know how much time has passed since the work but you could be screwed now.

Honestly I didn’t notice this immediately maybe I thought it was there before but after some time I eas sure that this was not there before, so those guys that replaced the clutch are claiming that they did everything ok

I wouldn't expect them to say anything other than that they did it right. So did you ever notice this before the new clutch? Did you only notice it right after the new clutch?

Honestly I don’t believe that this was there before clutch replacement, in the other side I don’t have any Idea what could be done wrong when they replaced the clutch because clutch is engaging and disengaging correctly there is no clutch slip, one more info If I release clutch slowly it doesn’t do that noise, also when changing gears and If I release clutch fast as I think it is normal it clunks, but Iif I wait for revs to drop while releasing clutch slowly it doesn’t clunk, Im so confused honestly.

Yesterdeay a mechanic told me this could be related to gearbox but the other one told me not but none of them are sure despite their inspection, also I don’t believe it is related to gearbox because it change gears as a butter, well I don’t know whats going on with this car

It doesn't seem normal to me. You can expect some clunking from the dualmass flywheel, but that's usually only when you're moving and at like idle speeds. That also doesn't sound like the flywheel clunking around to me. I'm not sure what it could be though.

 

[jimlloyd40]

Nothing we can say then. I guess drive it and hope nothing breaks or pay to have it taken apart to find what's wrong.

Mine is not dual mass flywheel

After new year I’m gonna deal with this again and at least I will ask e mechanic to remove gearbox and check if clutch has any issue, I’ll keep you updated thanx for trying to help !

I see. I'm not familiar with the 1.6, so what I say may not be all that helpful. I'm not sure how similar it is to the 2.0s we get.

Engine or trans mount could have rattled loose if not torqued properly.

This happened to my new 92 GTI. Engine tried to escape through the hood one morning. Fun times.

I recently replaced transmission mount made from FEBI, but issue remains, if this would happen when car is in motion I would suspect in all mounts but when it occurs when stationary as you can see in video than this makes me confuse, and I don’t want to give money for part replacements because mechanics in my country never give you 100% reaponse what’s the problem they like to try things..

Did you fixed the problem?

Did you fixed the problem?

Yes I did, I replaced Sachs Clutch kit with LUK kit, and clunking has gone !
