Engine Rattle - Clutch?

[BHP Addict]

Hi all,

My beeza has had this for a while now but it has started to get louder.

I'll be driving normally, not ragging it and it'll reach temp fine. When I arrive at my destination and park up with car running I can hear a rattle coming from the left side of the engine (as you look at it).

I wasn;t sure what it was and cannot make out anything moving that shouldn't be. I then dipped the clutch and it went. Gone, nothing. I take my foot off the clutch and it comes back.

Recently I have noticed its quite loud when off the clutch and is faint when dipped.

Any ideas? Clutch? Bearing?

Thanks guys

On a previous car i've had that, it was the clutch release bearing.

Not sure how much of an issue it will be, as I had that car 2 years and it never caused any problems.

If it's getting louder I guess it's potentially getting worse, what sort of mileage have you done, has the clutch been changed?

I also have this problem but it only started after i replaced my clutch and flywheel, mine doesn't seem to be getting any louder though and once warmed up it disappears only happens on start up

i have started to have this problem but am ordering the vr6/g60 set up today so hopefully should be gone once thats all fitted.

I've done 63K and as far as my receipts go I'm on the standard original clutch

i have this exact same problem in my 1.4 vreg mk3 ibiza,

i hear a rattle then put my foot on the clutch and it dissapears, does seem to be quieter when engine is warm,

could it be bearing or sumthing,
could someone tell me wich part it is that needs replacing, the actual clutch is fine as it ent in with the new engine last month

Is this another 'You know you have a mk3 Ibiza when.....' problem? lol

I know tappets get 'ticky' but this is something different.

I might take her in and see what the garage says.
