Steve King Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 My new to me TD5 has started making "wurra, wurra" noises on start up! It is exactly the same noise that you get with a 300TDI when the power steering fluid is low, except that the noise starts when the clutch is depressed and first gear is engaged. The noise continues when turning the steering wheel, but after 15 minutes or so I can't hear any unusual noises! I'm rather puzzled by the symptoms and although it sounds the same as the power steering pump, I'm wondering if it is the clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K88 MUD Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Dry spiggot bush in the flywheel....only makes a noise when you dis-engage the clutch and select a gear....box off is the only way to regrease or change the bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I agree, it sounds like the spigot bush, I had this happen with my vehicle. I was told that changing it isn't urgent so I did it when I changed the clutch. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crwoody Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 If its any comfort, I lived with this same fault on my Td5 90 for 3 years or more and it never got any worse. Sold the car on last year with it still doing it and I suspect it still is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuck Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Up to you if you want to pursue a warranty claim but my TD5 does that to. As you say after 10 mins or so it disappears, doesn't worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
