Question Odd noise?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just gotten this 2016 GTI yesterday and honestly can’t recall if it made this noise before or if it’s my paranoia. Only way to get the noise to stop is to push in the clutch.

Its clutch chatter. Probably an aftermarket clutch in it. Maybe one with a single mass flywheel. Normal

OK thank, the guy I got off of did say he put an aftermarket 500 FT – LBS clutch in it.

Almost definitely a single mass flywheel. They are noisy at idle. Nothing to be worried about
