2 Questions Re: 220d

[GWilso]

Hi all,

Firstly I'd like to say thanks to Lexus oxford for the all the help they gave whilst taking my car for the re-call on the fifth injector offering collect and return from 30mile away leaving me a courtesy car in between (even if it was a yaris) and swapping the golf clubs from my car to theirs whilst i was away from work oh and the free wine and diesel went down a treat thanks!!(even if the service manager told me to my face he had carried out the work at a previous service)

Firstly has anyone noticed the noise the clutch makes from outside the car when depressed? I only spotted this when one I had a hangover last weekend and I had a relative drive us all to the Golf course when he pressed the clutch it was a very noticeable squeak/straining noise from the clutch does anyone else have this can it be fixed? it must sound awful from outside whilst traveling

Also the sum total of our summer "yesterday" I had all the windows down and all I could here was a kind off droning noise almost as if their was a small hole in the exhaust? I put it down to the sound of the turbo or something does anyone know what I'm talking about? or have I really got a hole in the exhaust?

Anyway Thanks for your help

your dealer should sort the clutch pedal noise as part of the warranty

I have a 5 year old Lexus 220d. It's low mileage (50k). It's developed a squeak/creak noise on the clutch when the pedal in pressed down. It was originally doing it when it was cold, it's now doing it warm too. It sounds like a creaky spring. Any ideas on what is causing it? If it's a big job the car's going - I've had enough of expensive problems with this car!

Sounds like the clutch Release (Slave( cylinder, although Lexus will probably tell you that you are the first person to experience it and it's probably not covered by your warranty.
