Hi,
This morning I made a trip to work and on the way I notices a bit of vibration coming from the clutch pedal when changing gears.
A mile or so down the road I started hearing almost like a scretching noise whenever I put my foot on the clutch.
Changing gear seems to be fine, no slipping and acceleration is fine when I put my foot down. It just seems to be the noise, but it is a worrying sounding noise.
Any ideas from experience at all?
I have a recording of the sound if that helps at all.
Car - 55 plate 206 180 GTi

Not knowing anything about how a clutch works I did some research for your suggestion would certainly make sense. I think failure in any other part of the gear changing system would present much bigger problems than just a noise.
Will be taking the car down to a garage today.
Thanks for your response.

The guy at the garage is saying to replace the clutch is £380 + VAT and is 6.2 hours labour. (All approved parts)
Putting the total to £456.00
Does this sound like a rip off? or am I just in shock?

The £950.00 quote I just got from Peugeot gives me hope that the price I've been quoted isn't that bad.

While its apart in bits its just stupid not to replace the complete 3 part clutch kit.
You have to dismantle it to get at the release bearing anyway.
LUK / Sachs / Valeo for the clutch kit.

Not dismantled it to have a look, the guy says it's definitely the release bearing, and best to replace the whole lot. He did mention replacing something else, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. He said its a "while your there" type replacement, and is included in the price he quoted.

Get the parts yourself (EuroCarParts, CarParts4Less etc.) and then the price should come down a bit, plus then you know exactly what you're getting fitted :).
Avoid the Transmech clutch kit if one is listed for your car, they are cheaper for a reason!

as above go for the LUK kit as the valeo kit seems to be a weak point on the 180's on both of mine it was the thrust bearing trying to eat its way through the pressure plate.
i personly would change the input shaft bearing/seal while you have got it all apart as again both of my ones were very worn.
