Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
My car is making a noise it shouldn't be, it's the 1.7 cdti 2011, when just ticking over its noisey like doesn't really sound like a normal diesel, press the clutch and it sounds fine (as it should in my opinion) lift the clutch and it's noisey again, my mate says input shaft bearings maybe or thrust bearing, it's still reasonably low mileage
I've had the car 2 weeks now, bought it from a garage not a main dealer mind, should they cover this under the 3 month warranty that all used car should atleast get when sold from a garage
spoke to a mechanic yesterday and he said sounds like flywheel, also said quite common on the vauxhall diesels like the astra h 1.9, to have the problem going ask my local vauxhall dealer about it tomorrow i think
Yea I would never pay dealer prices cheers, hopefully the garage I bought it from (only 3 weeks ago) will fix the issue free of charge, once vauxhall confirm there is a problem
went to the vauxhall dealer today and the mechanic had go of the clutch, and says it'll be the thrust bearing, which in turn damages the flywheel, so both need replacing,
also said it's a known common fault but not covered by warranty and no recalls at all for my car according to service manager
glad you now no what it is but sad you have a fault
as rusty says now take it back armed with the knowledge of what it is and try and get them to fix it or cover some of the cost
well been to garage today, looks like they are going to sort it, the mechanic says this is very common, not just in the 1.7's but also the 2 litre diesels, more so the 6 speed gearbox, i think the petrols are ok though
