AndyC Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Glanging??????? Thats a new one on me! Are you meaning a clicking? Poss from the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 sorry for not spelling clanging right, its a bit more than a ticking, and not exactly clanging,, just happens when i take off in firstgear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Ah!!! Makes more sense now.... Had a noisy clutch (release bearing) but it wouldn't have described it as a clang. Worth running it in I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javspace Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 i know exactly what you mean, i think that noise is the anti-skid or traction control kicking in, but i get it every time when the cars cold. Its like a clicking noise and i would describe it as ...well clanging I'ver not seen the dealer about this as i thought it was common, but is this a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
