Possibility it's worked loose, but can they do this without warning?

When I replaced gearbox last year I didn't remove the flywheel, only the clutch needed swapping over.

Release bearing is new as I fitted it last year...

I'll know once it's out I suppose..

So today noticed that when clutch is depressed (aren't we all) there's a knocking noise from gearbox, it stops when clutch is engaged.

Am I right in thinking this could be clutch plate breaking up, or loose?

Just to add to this as I am checking my battery for parasitic dragon today, found these on eBay that you can use to keep stereo settings etc when changing battery. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Vehicles-Memory-Saver-OBD-Battery-Replacing-Tools-12V-Extended-Cable-Clip-/283940605343?mkcid=16&mkev...

The 096 spec is enough for what i need

The one in the linky is 096

Cheers guys, think that'll be my choice. Just checking for parasitic drain first.

So, looks like I am in need of a new battery, have looked at a few options and wondered if this is the correct/best one for me:https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/varta/e44/

Varta Silver Dynamic E44

Not bad price etc, but just wondered if it's the best to get?

Much appreciated thanks, perfect sense.

I've purchased a test kit anyway so can test when it arrives next week.

Would it not be losing fluid or blowing white smoke of it eat hard gasket?

My missus has a 2007 Polo. Currently having some weird intermittent heating issues. I'll try and keep it brief. Done so far.. Original issue was overheating. So I replaced the thermostat housing (comes complete with temp sensor and thermostat) Flushed system until water ran clear. Then the temp gaug...

Take the power steering belt off and see if it still happens.

Just out of interest, have you thought about the tyre choice?

Have the tyres been changed for a lower profile? Is the pressure too high? etc These can all have a major effect on ride comfort.

What happens when you turn climate control to Auto? Then back to Econ? If it squeels when Auto is selected, it may be air con pulley/clutch/belt.

No no, didn't say it did, but was fun to take apart and have a look.

There's a few good How-To guides in the How-To section.

Good cheap fix if it works.

I replaced one a few years ago, took the old one apart and cleaned up the contacts, refitted and took the replacement one back. Simples. All it is is copper contacts that get furred up over time.

Have you noticed any other lights having issues, like interior lights, map lights, puddle lights etc? Is the passenger front carpet wet?

As stated above, all/most cars if you turn ignition off and leave indicator on it will leave that side of the cars sidelight and rear light on. It's for parking where there's no street lights etc

Also try removing the brakelight bulb you changed and seeing if anything changes.
