Grinding noise when i press the clutch in cold weather sometimes
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2022 6:10 pm
So I recently started to hear this scratching noise when I move away in 1st gear in cold weather (around 0 celsius). When its around 7+ celsius I kind of cant rememeber hearing it more than very rarely)
*When I start to move the car gently after stop and the clutch is half way released on gear 1. I hear around 1-2 scratches and then its fine. At first I thought it was the brakes that didnt release.
*I started to experience the same scratching noise. When in higher gear and I give it some gas on 2000+rpm and i press down the clutch SUPERFAST (like ridicilous fast, almost like a racer or it was a competition). But when I drive normaly I dont hear it on higher gears.
Im wondering if this might be the clutch release bearing?
Or maybe my clutch is already starting to wear out?
Or maybe if this is normal sound from a VW clutch?
The car is a Polo AW -2018, with only 36000km / 3600 mile. I am second owner. I got my gearbox changed on warranty 6months after I purchased it. (So not sure how the previous owner handled the car or if its low VW quality.)
