Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone else has come across this before. I noticed a noise coming from my clutch peddle today. Everytime I press and release my peddle. It sounds a bit like a spring being stretched out then released back . This has only just started today, and in the space of 10 or 15 miles of city driving, and it seems to be getting louder. I'm gonna have a closer look tomorrow, ya know, see if I can see anything obvious, (like a stretching spring).
Any ideas??????????

This is my experience, from your description I would say it's the same noise. The dealer ended up replacing the clutch pedal assembly (under warranty).

Update-ish:
Been in the car today and there's no noise!!!
I'm off to the big smoke tomorrow, close to 400 miles roundtrip, so I'll see what happens.
Thanks again

It may be the self adjust mechanism.

I think I fixed the noise, I pulled off the panel (what a pia to get off ) and, well basically I sprayed the crap out of the linkage's and pivot point's with a spray lube, well it seem's to have fixed it.
Just thought I'd give you all an update.
