Manual Clutch squeak

Manual golf clutch noise

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone out there has a manual Golf and if you notice the squeaky clutch noise when you put your clutch in or let it out, say before you start the car? My car is a MY11 golf 118tsi.

My car is parked in the garage and I tend to jump in start my car with the door open, then get out turn off garage lights and be on my way. The clutch squeak prior to the engine running is loud and has done it since new. My previous cars have all been manual and never made that sound.

I've reported it to vw during a service and I get the usual reply, can't fault.

So if someone out there with a manual golf could jump in their car and push their clutch in and out and tell me if it squeaks like a 1990 Kia I'd appreciate it. lol.

Thanks.

If you take your car to a dealer always demo the issue to a tech so they know whats going on, so much better that way. Can you hear if the noise comes from inside or outside?. get someone sat in the car and press the pedal whilst you have the bonnet open so you can see what side the issue lies....VDUB...

Yeah I plan on doing that at my next upcoming service, just wanted to see if it was normal before I said anything.

I have a manual GTI mk6 and I can say I definitely don't get anything like that at all. Mine's only 7 months old though...

My 118 manual does the same thing. It's getting a service this Friday so they can look at it then.

Cool, let us know what they say at your service.

I have a my12 90tsi. No squeek. Very much silent.

Hey mine started making a squeaking noise at the friction point when it was about 10 months old (14,000-ish km). After I listened closely it sound like an old spring being slowly stretched.

Suggested to my dealer it might be the pressure plate as it sounded like springs and could only be heard outside of the car.
In their infinite wisdom they assured me that it was just the pedal. They oiled the pedal and said it was fine, went to pick it up, it wasn't fine.

Then they said it must be a bearing, 3 days later, they said it was fine, it wasn't fine.

Finally they said oh, it must be the pressure plate . Another 3 days later and the car was good as new.

Hope it all goes well

Thanks, at least I know it's not normal, so I'll push for a fix when I get a service soon. Cheers

My TSI has always had this sqeak too... It's only obvious though when the car is off and the clutch is pressed to startup...
