clutch noise

[flinana]

Hi,

I drive a Feb'2000 R75 2.0CDT and everytime I start the car and take off in 1st gear i hear a noise, like a spring pooping up, coming out of the clutch, does anyone have any idea what this could be?

thx

@flinana:

That's just normal.

It is a sound produced by the brakes by testing / resetting the ABS (Anti-Blockier-System). Sorry, but I don't know the english description. We discussed that kind of noise in the early beginning of this f

Thx for the quick response.

But it feels like it comes out of the Clutch pedal?
i guess if this is normal ill accept it.

I forgot to mention that it only happens at the begining of the drive, the first time i put it onto 1st gear, is this also normal?

It sounds like you have a known problem with the clutch. Rover launched a technical bulletin in the Uk on the 31.03.04 .

The clutch plate has to be replace using part number UQB000380.

Dealers have been advised to action replacement on "customer complaint only"

For info tech bulletin TB0120
