August 18, 20214 yr Hi, Not long bought a 2013 diesel insignia ecoflex (147000 miles) When I lift my foot of the accelerator while moving I hear what sounds like a scraping noise. This happens mostly in first and second gear. When I dip the clutch it goes and when moving and I put the car in neutral it goes, back in second its back. Don't notice it in third to six gear Anyone else had this or have any idea what I am hearing Thx
August 23, 20214 yr It sounds very much like transmission bearings (internal) or a Dual Mass Flywheel or a clutch release bearing. Either way, it would necessitate removal of the transmission to diagnose and rectify If it is still driveable and not getting any worse then it could go on for many more miles if you can put up with the noise 🙂 If in doubt, then a visit to the garage is imminent by the sound of it
August 23, 20214 yr Author Been to the garage and he thinks it is the gear box and not the clutch , car drives fine the noise however is annoying. The guy said he could not say for definite if it is the gear box until he removes it and I may aswell get a reconditioned one fitted. He also said he doesn't think it's the duel mass fly wheel and never mentioned transition 🤷♂️
August 26, 20214 yr Sounds like a good route to diagnosis, let us know what they find to be the cause of the noise
