Focused on my Focus Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi everyone, I have noticed a slight but irritating ratlling noise when i pull off and sometimes when driving. The noise sounds like its coming from the front of the car. Im worried that this could be an indication that my clutch is on the way out.

stef123 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It could be something as simple as a loose heatshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only had an MOT done last month and passed with no adviseries, so im hoping your right! Where is the 'heatshield' located - going to have a look to see if its loose.

Micro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Rev it when you're not moving (in neutral, clutch in/out). I had a rattly heatshield when I first bought mine, started up about 2000rpm+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
