Mk2 Clio knocking noise?



  Clio 2
Hi guys, mk2 Clio ph2, d4f it’s got a few issues that I’d like to address. There is a knocking noise coming from around the centre / left side of the car. The only time I notice it is when changing gear and if I come on or off the clutch harshly. There is also a squeaking noise that occurs only in reverse, it happens as I push the clutch pedal down after I have started moving. For example coming out of a parking space, after I’ve started moving and want to stop and start going forward, when I push the clutch pedal down in reverse a loud squeak can be heard, are the two related.

Secondly, when pulling away and the clutch is slipping, I can hear what sounds like a short section of belt squeal as I come off the clutch, is this the aux belt (why would it squeak when I’m coming off the clutch) or is my clutch knackered or contaminated with oil.

Thanks.

Check out my posts. The gear change noise could be the linkage and the squeak could be the thrust bearing in the clutch.
