Hey guys, just wanted to run by you a noise I'm hearing atm. 

 

When I start-up my scoobs, I let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Although when I start driving the first few gear changes there's a rattle? It mainly occurs from take-off to 2nd Gear. It sounds like something tinny, or metally. Although once I'm off and going the sound doesn't really re-appear once the car has been driven for over 5-10 minutes.

 

Also : This car is my first manual, I knew how to drive manual before i bought it but not so well, but over the past month of driving it there has been quite a number of times where I've accidentally rev'ed it out before fully releasing the clutch on a hill, or sometimes a standstill, and on one or two occasions I've accidentally let out the clutch before engaging into a gear and it grinded and freaked me the hell out! Just wanted to know how much a clutch can actually take before saying forkkkk you! It's just that this is the first car I've bought with my own money and saved like crazy to get it, every-time I have a bad start off or have a bad hill-start I cringe becauase I hate the feeling of ruining the clutch! There's no slippage yet, or any other signs. But I'm just worried with my driving habbit's I'll have to keep 600-700$ tucked away for a new clutch very soon.

Thoughts?

Cheers guys~~

Tinny sound could be the flywheel?

I bit of grinding won't be a problem. Too much of anything is bad but I wouldn't worry about yet if I was you

The Flywheel you reckon?

I'm going to try and get a recording soon when the car cools down, and then see what you think once you can hear it

 

PS: Could it also be heatshield/exhaust causing this?

[Morgan]

Yeah could be a heatshield or even a destroyed cat.

Dual mass flywheels are known to get noisy which is where in getting my initial guess from.

If you can, get a video up... Someone might be able to recognise the noise

[JDMJake]

Going to go record now! also take a look underneath and bang some stuff to see if anythings loose 

[JDMJake]

I couldn't get a clear record of the sound - but it's coming from the left hand side of my car. going to try tomorrow morning get a good recording while she's cold.

Heres the recording guys try listen closely its not as loud as i would have liked it to be

I'm no expert at all there are guys on here that could prob pick it up in a second but I couldn't really hear a tinny sound. Can you locate on the video where the sound is in terms of seconds on the youtube timing bar. Is it 3 sec into the video or 2. Or are you referring to the kind of grunge noise when you change gear?

[JDMJake]

11-13 seconds. It sounds like "Wub" but vibrates and makes a tinny sound.

[Jberg89]

Ok, yeah I heard that sound. Sorry mate I don't know what that is. Hopefully some of the more knowledgable guys on here could answer it. Hope you get it sorted mate.

is it just exhaust gasses from the muffler when theres a sudden change in airflow it rattles the exhaust a little?? if you get what i mean?
