I've had the same fault. Book car in with VX. There is a component that needs replacing in the clutch/pedal. Will be warranty work as there is a service note for this to be sorted. I've not had it come back since being fixed 3 weeks ago.

 

Thanks for that. It's going in a week Monday so I'll mention that when i take it. Cheers.

 

Hello, i have a corsa e 1.4t just like you guys and the same thing has just happened to me this morning, did they manage to sort it out for you and what actually was the problem? Cheers

 

I've got this, it's been in to vx for fixing twice now and they keep giving me it back saying that it's fixed and tested ok lol, I pick it up and it's creaking away hapily as soon as I pull away. Hopefully someone here will say what needs replacing and i'll tell these clowns at vx what the problem is.

 

Well mines going in friday so see what they say. What did they say it might be on yours? Mines seems to be on and off at the min but there is def somthing not right

 

All they done was grease the clutch pedal spring :roll: - even although it's a creaking noise from underneath the car/engine bay. :|

They did change an engine mount to "fix" another problem of droning wheels :shock: and claimed the creaking noise was also fixed but nope it wasn't.

It's on/off for me too but it's mostly on and I did go for a test drive with a technician, he agreed he could feel and hear the creaking noise and there was something wrong. (So maybe ask for a test drive too)

As I said, it's been back at VX a couple of times for this and a couple of other things like a broken window regulator that makes the door rattle (they did fix that).

But this creaking noise remains. I go pick it up, get in and pull away and it's still creaking away like always

I personally think that it might be suspension related, like a busted bush somewhere or a failing top mount or - something causing this dry creaking noise. I don't think it's a gearbox/clutch issue tbh or maybe there's something wrong on the engine end of the gear linkage arm but I am not a mechanic.

If yours gets fixed post up what was wrong if you will, would help me out a lot so I can point vx in the right direction.

 

I will do, been doing it last couple days and this morning nothing! Still going to take it in and hopfully it does it when i need it to. Do you get the vibration through the gear stick aswel?

 

Another 1.4T owner here with the same problem. I thought that it might be a loose heat shield initially, but dealer claims that they couldn't replicate the noise.mits been doing it on and off since last September.

 

Wow thats a long time, take it they have no idea then? Does it come and go?

Yeah I can feel the creaking though the gear stick when pulling away in 1st.

I forgot that vx adjusted the heat shield on mine too to fix this, but wasn't fixed.

 

Well ive got me car back from vauxhall, i tried to explain what the problem was and they said they would have a look, got a call saying there was somthing wrong and have done the following, adjusted gear cables. So im hoping it will sort it..... But only time will tell im not to sure tho

 

Seeems to be weather related for me, when it's colder it does it like mad, but when it's warmed up or the temps warmer it happens less.

So they think it's an issue of the engine end of the gear selector then. Hope that will fix it for you, I'll keep an eye on this topic if you'll update it if it's fixed then i'll throw mine at vx once again lol thanks for updating.

 

Yes, I'm also watching this thread in earnest.

Il keep you updated with how things go, 2 days and nothing yet so we will see, im still not sure its the right fix but i could be wrong. Anyone else please feel free to jump in and say what vx has done to try and fix yours

 

Hi all

That's just a common squeaky clutch spring and yes they will grease it to stop that squeaking when you're pressing/releasing the clutch, this topic is more about a creaking noise from underneath the car / engine bay when the car reaches the biting point.

 

Well its almost been 4 weeks, but it done it again this morning not as bad as before but can still hear/feel it. So im not sure what im going to do might leave it and see if it gets worse instead of just taking it back and saying it doesnt do it all the time

 

So, how's yours now?

Mine is actually getting worse lol I like actually hate this car tbh.

I used to feel it/hear it only pulling away in 1st then again in 2nd but now it's evident through all the gears after the clutch is loading up.

I swear it's something like a top mount or another suspension part as I swear I heard some creeking when turning from left lock to right lock. :-(

I'll keep waiting until it's totally unbearable cause it's a total waste of time giving it to Vauxhall while it's "not happening all the time" and that they don't give a shit.

This creeking noise, these wheels droning noise at any speed, contact rattles/squeeks in the doors and panels *sigh* honestly want to set this shit car on fire. even more so since it's been in to Vauxhall 3 times and nothing got fixed

 

Well Vauxhall (the retarded robot so called mechanics) finally fixed this for me by lubricating some cables & brackets. In-case anyone else has it.

 

it'll come back after a few weeks/months. When I got rid of mine it still did it in the early hours. gave up chasing VX to sort it in the end and deemed it a characteristic of the type.

 

Just to bump this thread again - has anyone else had this, or anyone who had it got it fixed? If so, what was the final problem deemed to be?

I've noticed that mine has been doing it again now the temperature is a bit cooler in the mornings - it's in for a service tomorrow so will mention it again to them, but was wondering if anyone got a successful outcome with this in the end?

They lubricated the brackets and cables for the gear selector and it stopped my creeking noise so if it comes back, i'll lube it up again.

Hi Moog70 - The noise you're hearing and feeling through the gear stick when pulling away is most likely only some dry gear selector cables like mine was.

You need to know where the noise is coming from, if it's what I think it is then the noise will sound like it's coming from underneath the car or from the engine bay are (and not the clutch pedal area)

You will definitely feel it also through the gear stick.

The noise from mine was hideous and I thought it was some suspension part failing and ready to collapse every time I went to pull away :lol:

In my previous post, I said that they lubricated some cables and brackets and I have not heard any noise from it since.

I have given you a pic below of where they lubricated mine if you'd like to show them and I hope it solves it for yours.

Pretty much underneath the gear stick.

Cheers.
