I'm no expert on this but I'm guessing as it gets so damn dusty/dirty under hood so quickly on these cars that the paint/coating on the fork receptacle has scratched & started to corrode where the ball end of the actuator meets/touches as a result of scuffing which I reckon is causing the squeak. Cleaning the area of all contaminated grease & re-greasing it seems a temporary fix unless I protect the area of dirt.
When that squeak comes back I will clean/lube as done previously (see foot of p13 as per quoted @ Ultramaroon instructions) & figure out a solution to prevent anymore dirt attaching itself to the fresh grease - worth a try I guess. |
That's definitely worth a try. My dealer dropped my clutch multiple times replacing multiple things including throw out bearing and pressure plate. The noise didn't go away and it ended up all they had to do was what Ultramaroon explained there.
