Hi All
Are these bearings the same thing??!!
My Clutch (manual TD5) makes a whining noise (only when cold) that i can stop by adjusting the pressure on the clutch pedal. it only makes the noise when going into or out of gear, especially when holding the car on a hill by feathering the clutch/accelerator and not when driving.
I have been told it is the Spigot bearing. Is that a/the clutch release bearing?? I have also been told it is made of brass!! and that's why it wears quickly?! true?
Is it an imperative job to get done or can i leave it awhile as i imagine it will be expensive and probably worth doing with another job??
Any comments welcomed, posted a thread on here a while ago about fuel problems and the resulting suggestions stopped me getting fleeced at a garage, so cheers!!
