rumbling Noise at idle

[keeko]

Howdy all,

Just noticed a little rumble/rattling when the car (V6-24) sits at idle in neutral.When the clutch is pushed in the noise disappears and when pulling away the car feels ok. Any ideas before i take it to a Mitsubishi dealer as i don`t like the idea of being robbed blind as they throw parts at it until the noise is away. /help

Hordak does this too. Do you get a bit of whine when you're accelerating too?

Make a new clutch-sized hole in your wallet and take it to a dealer....

theres no noise when accelerating the car drives fine .looks like im going to try my hand with the warranty

sounds like the clutch release bearing. It could make that noise for years and never cause a problem

Thanks Paul.

Sounds reassuring. It drives perfectly and doesn`t make that noise all the time. It`s only because the car is so smooth and quiet that I noticed it.I`ll continue using it and if it worsens i`ll think about wheeling it back to the dealer

Thanks again :anxious:

2001 V6-24. Bought it from Strachans in Ayr.ITs only done 44000 miles with full Mitsubishi history.The warranty allegedly covers everything BUT I know the score.The bas***** will try to get out of paying out anything if they can.

Surely it has to be worth a phone call to confirm if it would be covered and get it sorted while still under warranty ?

thrust / release bearing noise will be put down to wear unless you manage to break it.
