Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help.

Ford Focus 1.0 Ecotech 2012.

Once warm, pulling away on a hill from standstill (little more gas than normal) the car make a loud noise, the noise disappears as soon as normal driving resumes, however returns only when trying to pull away a bit faster than normal or on a hill start.

Someone has told me it might be Clutch Whoop.... anyone know anything or can help resolve the issue please.

Thanks in advance

RRM
