macson Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Apologies if this is covered in another topic. Hi everyone, My focus has developed a rattle. At cold not so much but when hot it's fairly loud. Sounds like a bag of bolts rumbling around. Bad in neutral or in gear with clutch pressed down but as you engage clutch noise goes away for the most part. Clutch works fine and the noise more or less went away for a few months but has returned worse than before. As you turn engine off the last sound as the engine stops sounds like a flywheel coming to a stop which I'm fairly sure is where the noise is coming from. Is this the clutch plate or DMF? I took it to a dealer when it was not as bad a few months ago when it was more sporadic and he couldn't get it to make a noise - sods law!! Any thoughts appreciated. Anyone???

TomsFocus Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It does sound like the DMF yeah. Whether its clutch or DMF you'll have to remove the gearbox anyway so makes sense to do both together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Yeah, I tend to think it's more likely to be the DMF too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMo Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Could be the flywheel bearings, must be bad if you can hear it when it's in gear Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
