As above, it's been happening for a while now. Say I'm travelling at 70mph and brake to around 50 or less, I have an almighty 'droning' noise that goes deeper as the car slows down. Someone said it could be a warped brake disc. Any thoughts? It's only coming from the front N/S and it's not a...
You can barely notice that it's switched on - I'd say that's borderline dangerous.
The 'before' shot is much better. I don't understand why people are doing this.

Quick video. It doesn't happen for the first 15 minutes or so of driving, only when the engine is properly warm and I've been driving for a bit.
I push the clutch in, it squeaks like the above. I let it out and it's completely silent.
Perhaps you were a little vague in describing what is happening in the photo.
All we had to go off was 'having its cam belt changed'.
Where's your air-con?
Re: Something squeaking when clutch pressed in
I think that is the case. Is it anything to be worried about? Obviously I will double check when I can, but if it's just the diaphragm?
Same with me. Despite my area being quiet and full of old people, out of the way... I've got a BL postcode which is Bury/Bolton shared.
Bolton is awful!

So it's just me that has no idea what one is/does? :o
I'll do a video in a bit. Everyone's at work today!
Re: Something squeaking when clutch pressed in
Aye I was planning a trip down to Fred sometime soon anyway. Just wanted to be sure of what needs doing exactly, there's already a load of 'little' jobs :o
Re: Something squeaking when clutch pressed in
Alright thanks for the help Budgie :)
I'll try making a video of the noise and when it happens... unless everyone's 100% decided that it's the clutch release bearing. In which case I will shed a few tears.
Re: Something squeaking when clutch pressed in
I don't think it's ever been done tbh so it'd probably be advisable.
Have any of you ever heard of the clutch lightening kit thingy you can buy from Renault? My mate's ph1 had it fitted, it's basically some weights on the cable somewhere (you can...
Re: Something squeaking when clutch pressed in
:cry: so because of this pesky bearing, I need an entire new clutch? I'm just trying to comprehend these thoughts.
Re: Something squeaking when clutch pressed in
I'll try and get a video! It's after the engine has been running a while, say I come to the lights and push the clutch in... it starts squeaking a bit. If I let the clutch out, it goes away.
Is it the bearing or the other thing?
