Maybe it wasn’t an accident

It seems like it was a cry for help.

Was it a bid for freedom?

I have noticed a rattling noise when I engage the biting point clutch of my giloppy in neutral. Doesn’t make any noise when in gear or when moving only in neutral.

Assume it is a bearing or flywheel issue?

Sounds like you’ve been fueling your car at Applegreen.

Had something similar in my Octavia recently. Ended up being a wheel bearing.

What kind of Yankee dollars we talking?

How can you engage “biting point” in neutral??

Think it was like €150

Chump change.

A bit steep for a wheel bearing that doesn’t make any noise when moving

Think it was part of a service. Who knows.

I had two wheel bearings done on Octavia at different times. The price you suggest seems about right (150-200 bracket I think)

In both cases, mine made significant noise prior to replacement

Had similar but the rattle etc was a bloody heat shield nut gone and only noticeable while ticking over
