ago in Seat by
I bought a new 1.0 EcoTSI manual Seat Leon two months ago. The car is now on 2000 km and since the first day I bought the car I have been hearing a "clunk" noise somewhere around the bite point while releasing the clutch. The noise can be easily heard while shifting from the 1st to 2nd gear and sometimes during the move away when I pull my off the clutch a little bit fast.

During the shifting when I get really really gentle on the clutch and add some gas around bite point to match the revs, the noise is mostly undistinguishable.

I brought the car to official service and the mechanic told me the sound is normal but he could not explain me the reason behind. Official services tend to tell people every problem is normal till the car's guarantee is over. So I really don't trust them.

A friend of mine has the same car too and he told me he hears the same noise on his car too but not this often. What might be the reason behind?

If I did my research correctly, this car has a dual mass flywheel. Could it be the reason behind?

There is a record from my car to show the noise, it can be heard right after shifting the gear at 00:05-00:06 00:17-00:18 00:35-00:36




TL;DR : I hear noise from the front side of the car when releasing the clutch, the noise can be heard on the video above. The car is brand new, the service and my friend says it is okay but why does it make that noise?

That sounds like it could be the cv axel. Lift the front tires off the ground and turn the wheel back and forth, while looking at the cv boots video:

Well if so I have to hear the same noise during fast acceleration and deceleration but I only hear it while going off the clutch...
