Morning All

My GQ idling changes to being more erratic when I depress the clutch in neutral IS THIS NORMAL ??

As far as I know, the Y60 also has a vacuum servo assisted clutch, like the Y61 has. This means that the engine is loaded slightly when operating the clutch. There might also be a vacuum leak somewhere.

Thanks Gerrit

Do you think thatmight be part of the reason why it sounds as if I have hooked a deepsea diver with bottels an all

Jules, have you done any water crossings lately? (please check under your vehicle for said diver)

Hello Jules

On a more serious note, my car shows a very slight drop in revs when I depress the clutch, say 20-30rpm? I haven't really noticed roughness though. Where is the noise coming from, and is it only when the clutch is fully depressed or does it start as soon as you start feeling the clutch? Also, if you rev the engine to say 2000 or 3000RPM and then depress the clutch does it still make a noise and roughen up or is all normal then?

I think it may be as Gerrit thinks a leak on the vacuum booster system (not the pipes, otherwise it would do it all the time?) or it could possibly be the clutch release bearing, but they normally scream (although they might "rumble") and if you rev the engine and then depress the clutch the noise should definately change pitch.

By the way, if you are trying to pinpoint a mechanical noise, it is handy to use a long screwdriver (a stethoscope works even better). If you hold the handle against your ear and feel around with the tip it helps isolate the vibration, and sound is caused by vibration.

Good luck
Peter

Jules, ek is seker jy moes al rubber wat brand geruik het in hierdie proses wat jy so sukkel met jou koppelaar. Dis daai duiker se "wetsuit" wat in die draaiende dele vasgestrengel geraak het. Sny net die arme man met toerusting en al los onder jou Patrol uit dan is jou pyne almal op 'n einde!

Tanks Manne sal bietjie loer vir daardie duiker, my reuk sintuie is nie te great nie seker al die kere wat die manne my oppie rugby veld op die neus ged*nner het omdat ek so baie punte aangeteken het

Peter sal bietjie check as ek so hoog ref wat maak die clutch as mens hom dan intrap, maar my probleem is my gehoor is ook nie meer so goed nie seker al die kere wat SWAMBO my teen die ore klap as ek nie hoor nie

Man ek sien uit na die holiday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shalom
Jules

Jules, nou's ek lekker deurmekaar. Jy kla oor snaakse geluide wat jy hoor, maar jy kan dan nie eers hoor of ruik nie?? Ek dink nie jy moet net uitsien na die vakansie nie, jy moet dringend vertrek! Dit klink my jy het dit baie meer nodig as wat jy dink...!!!???

Geniet dit!

Ja Jules, ek stem saam met JG, jy moet sommer onmiddelik ry.
Hou vir my 'n kampplekkie oop, dan bring ek sommer 'n sleepwa vol medisyne

Peter, Kamp no 22 Tsendze te KNP, ek het die eish boet, die malts en potstill brannewyne , sien jou en JG so teen sonsak vir n sonsakkertjie

Shalom
Jules
