Hdi Clutch problems - Moonstone2.0 - 11-04-2013
Hey chaps, got a question regarding an hdi (xsara picasso hdi 110 ahem..)
regardless of the fact that I now offically drive one of the worst cars in the world I am having issues and would like your opinion before blowing the remaining credit on my credit card on a new clutch.
The car squeaks faintly when idling but not from the belts it comes from the other side of the block.
When pulling away the squeak becomes very noticable and running along at 30mph its just plain embarressing.
The sound goes away at high speed (perhaps gets droned out) and goes away the second you press in the clutch with a sound as if you stepped on your pet rabbit by accident. a bit of a yelp sound.
So I guess it's the clutch or some bearing. Only started doing this 400miles ago after a long intensive 1000 mile trip to the continent and back.
Slight judder when pulling away or reversing but noting too serious. there isnt a bloody rev counter but from what I can hear the revs arn't noticably higher than they should be so i dont think there is a slip.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Possibly clutch release bearing. My HDi used to have a similar noise, the release bearing had almost fallen apart when I took it off (glad it didn't go while I was driving!).
Could be a gearbox bearing but I haven't heard of people breaking HDi boxes.

Do these have a duel mass flywheel?
RE: Hdi Clutch problems - Moonstone2.0 - 11-04-2013
Apparently so. At a garage getting a quote for flywheel and clutch while getting tyres fitted.
It's not a dual mass so only £652 repair

think youve found the problem yourself now D: best of luck!
RE: Hdi Clutch problems - Toms306 - 11-04-2013
Oh dear, bad luck mate, Im guessing the release bearing exploded?
As you say, atleast they're not DMFs....woulda added another grand onto that lol...
RE: Hdi Clutch problems - Moonstone2.0 - 11-04-2013
Yeah it was tom. Hopefully will be a new driving experience once it gets fixed.
RE: Hdi Clutch problems - Toms306 - 11-04-2013
Yeah, enjoy stalling it the first couple of drives...
But once it settles and wears in a bit a new clutch is much nicer.

It was the release bearing that exploded on my estate. Seller didnt want to fix it so i bought the car for £300
£80 on a clutch later and car was good as new!
