AMT Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 As wierd as it sounds, when I stop the Zed some times, possible if its a quick stop, theres a noise like a hinge or something swinging (actually sounds like a stereotypical someone humping in a noisey bed ) for a minute then it dies away. Exhaust part or something? Nothing seems to be hanging down.. Any ideas? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Is there any difference if you dip the clutch? I had a noise similar to this with a dual mass flywheel that was failing, only did it when the car was warm/hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Erm, haven't tried that, its when I come to a dead sudden stop, like driving head first into the parking space and stopping, engine off and you can just hear this noise like somethings swinging lol Next time I hear it I'll dip in the clutch but surely not the flywheel if the engines just been switched off? Doesn't seem to be causing an issue...(touch wood) yet.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It'll be those fluffy dice you have hanging from the rearview mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think there are weights on a dual mass which are spring loaded. The sound could be these oscillating back and forth. Hence the reported impending doom of the flywheel ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sorry didn't realise you'd turned the engine off, mine only did it with engine still running, that's why asked about dipping the clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Hmm, wonder what this is, might be still there as the engine is on and i just switch it off and then you hear it. Would it keep going if the engine was off or would it come to a complete stop. (as I said it seems to fade away). God almighty don't be the flywheel.... Does that mean a new clutch on the horizon? (clutch seems fine btw lol). I'll just need to see how it goes. As I said its not always there. Thanks for the help guys! (and any further info!)
