7daysinaweek Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Sorry cannot help in any way at all with the car, but, did you get the fox? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Pigeon bashed before the bag of spanner’s incident had it been on a long run then parked up and left during bad wet weather . wandering if flywheel or clutch release has rusted up so not disengaged properly.

oowee Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 What age is it? I booked mine in with the dealer following what sounded like broken from suspension. Turned out that the radar cover had come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 something had stuck and then released itself I bet. I had something similar with a Passat - then it just disappeared - the clutch had tightened itself or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Would have thought you would have noticed something wasnt quite right over time rather than over night, if its fine now leave well alone would be my limited advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 if tis not broke dont fix it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcgunner Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 run it till it leaves you stranded. If it Is a mechanical problem it will not fix itself. Being a clutch problem it will only leave you stopped and not cause any more damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
