5-Speed Manual - Strange Sound - Need advices
Since I collected my 8, have this strange sound (like "cluck", quite loud), after moving forward about 1m. This only happen after start-engine from cold eg in the morning, or go home after office. After this "cluck" sound, if I stopped the car completely, and then moved on again, there wasn't any sound.
The salesperson said that this is normal for manual car due to the clutch engagement. Changed my engine oil today (first 1,000 km) and the workshop said that if there wasn't any fault-signal/alarm from the car, it should be alright !? Does any bro / sista who drive manual kindly share if you have such experience. Many thanks. |

that what i tot too. My previous was a manual and i have that sound too. Send to mechanic and they said is normal. according to them , it is the ABS thingy ! Drove that car for 3 years, no problem reported so i guess it ok. I have it in my 8 too (manual) |
Goody, I have the same "problem" too ! I casually mentioned it to the MM people and they appear to have never heard of such an issue..... So I guess it's normal then since all of us are experiencing the same thing??? Mine's a 6MT. Cheers

It's an ABS check. Some people hear it some dont. It happens in mine every morning when I roll out of the garage (after about 3 feet). I've lived with it for 2 yrs. Dealers/mechanic etc. says it's normal.

This issue has been discussed few times...... It's not a problem, it's the ABS like Rx8Honey said....
