Am I covered?
 

Hi, I am going to call my dealer tomorrow but I thought I'd get a quick answer on here first.

I picked up a 2010 Anniversary edition in late october and have been loving every minute of it, except my clutch rattles quite noticeably. When I'm at a stoplight and depress the clutch I can hear a rattle, more of a spinning noise. I think it's the throw out bearing because I remember hearing the same sound on my old M3. Also when I shut off the car with the clutch in, after the motor is off I hear the remnants of the last of the flywheel spinning I guess it is and the same rattle noise.

These cars have 5 year powertrain correct? Mine only has 30,000km on it so it shouldn't be needing a new clutch already!! I better call the dealer first thing in the morning as I'm off work this week anyways.

They're not going to help you. The clutches on these rattle.

^^ Cement mixer sound ftw! :ugh2:

Like a bag of rocks.. i thought it was the weirdest thing when I picked up my baby the first day. Thankfully after joining this forum my mind was at ease. Bag of rocks!!!

^^^ Bag of rocks, LMFAO..........

Damn that's not what I wanted to hear.

I just went to my local dealer and the guy at the service desk pretty much dismissed it being covered by warranty he said if it's a clutch its a wearable item blah blah blah even with only 30,000km it doesnt matter, said it wouldn't be covered. I asked if a service tech could come listen to it and give me his opinion but nope that would be a $105.00 diagnosis charge to get the car into the bay this afternoon to have a look.

It's almost embarrassing anytime I pull up to a parking spot somewhere at the gym or whatever I don't want to push the clutch in to stop the car the rattle is that loud anyone walking by would hear it when I shut it off.

Completely normal unfortunately. You get in the habit of pushing the clutch in when you turn off the car.

Trade it in and get an auto! May the flames burn!! :stirthepot:
