997 C4S Clutch creak when hot
Discussion
Can anyone help me please. My car is an 05 cab, has done 40k miles and now has a new clutch, and all the proper bits including bearings etc replaced by non Porsche in about April. Before being replaced, the clutch was slipping badly and had a judder from take off.
The new clutch kept the judder, and developed a creak when hot, so I took it back to non Porsche garage who said the clutch was faulty and also found the master slave end to have broken off hence the creak. He replaced the Porsche clutch and added a new slave....creak went away, but I didn't like the judder, so took it at his suggestion to PORSCHE.
Porsche had the car for the day and found nothing wrong and charged me nothing for two test drives, cold and hot. When I drove home there was no judder, so problem resolved itself!!!weird.
Barely driven much over the summer, so clutch and slave etc still all new with under 1000 miles.
Last weekend, I took the car (unusually) for an hours drive and upon arriving at destination and I heard the creaking was back and quite noticeable when the drivers door was open. The noise came from the rear of the car, not the pedal. The following day, when cold the noise had gone.
I have read a lot of older forums where this appears quite common, but no one seemed to have found the problem or solution and most seem to live with it. So I am trying again in the hope that some has new knowledge.
