I was wondering if anyone has this problem. I have a 2001 2.0se bora.
When the car is started from cold and I start to pull away I can here a noise that changes pitch as I operate the clutch pedal. the noise will then continue for approx 2mins at which point it always stops. (When I'm at work I have to park in an underground garage and the noise always stops at the same point when I'm waiting for the shutters to close behimnd me).
If I pump the clutch pedal up and down or put the car in neutral it doesnt change the pitch of the noise, but as soon as I let out the clutch when in gear the pitch changes so I'm thinking definately something with the clutch, maybe the release bearing.
Does anyone have any idea why the noise always stops after 2mins?
Once the noise stops all runs fine and if I stop the car, then use it again a few hours later it doesnt make the noise, it only happens when the car is properly cold ie overnight or parked all day.
