Funny part was it doesn't sound the same as shifting from any other gears. Just from 5th sound weird. Facepalm.

The steering making knocking noise when wriggling slightly left and right on stationary. On low speeds uneven road, can also hear it while traveling forward
Don't want to steer this thread off topic, I've seen the thread about the steering issue you're having, was just wondering what are they gonna replace?

Not sure too. Waiting for the whole system to be delivered. I think they will change the whole thing. My car is only 4 days old.

Is there any way in the ECU to permanently disable the hill start assist?

Mine works perfectly, but I have been driving manual cars for 40 years, never had one before, and don't need or want it.
 
No, there's not as far as I can tell. I don't have any interest in using it, but there's nothing I can do about it.

My hill assist works fine. It's just the clutch pedal that squeaks when you release the clutch to disengage. Doesn't happen any other time.
 
I hate to suggest this, but have you lubricated the pivot point?

A quick spray of Dry PFTE should fix that!lube.jpg
 
@Corsa59 No I haven't, that's what I was wondering about doing. It's worth a try. I really don't want to give to the garage for another day for it not to be looked at!!
 
I'm sure we have some of the PTFE stuff at work, they won't miss me nicking it. I just won't tell them why, or they'll all be involved!!
 
I have a theory on this...

The brakes are held on by the car - presumably the ABS block - and when released you get movement in the brake fluid which will travel back up the lines and to the master cylinder reservoir.

On most modern cars the brake and clutch share a single pivot point on a bar. What you are hearing in the clutch may well be the action of the fluid making its way back to where it lives and transferring through said bar?

Stab in the dark but worth a punt! Haha!

I agree that the clutch feels different to other manual cars I've driven. Not bad, just different. Does anyone know where I can find more details about it? I'm wanting to better understand how it works in the N.

For me the clutch is pretty poor in both feel and how far it travels.Had two other hot cars in the last 10 years nether of them felt remotely like this.If this is new tech then so be it,have noticed it smells pretty bad as well at times only done 5000 miles.
 
Hey guys,
I am a new owner of the i30N and I just joined the group.
I have a problem, I hear rattling noise when I am in first or second gear as I release the clutch quickly... As if something came loose or so... ( Mostly when I am parking my car)
I went to the company they said it is normal and that the clutch is heavy duty.
Does anyone have that among the owners?
My car hasn't yet completed the 1000 Km.

Thanks for any answer.
 
i have the same noise, I resigned myself after a few posts here but let it be noted in my first 1000km inspection...
 
Noticed it the first couple of 1k or so. Not something I hear much anymore. 10k later and 1st service recently had with zero issues with the clutch or gearbox. Just a heavy clutch. Took me a few months to finally get used to it without stalling from time to time. The biting point is a bit high.
 
Nothing to worry about. I was also upset with that almost every time during the parking. It’s just a sport clutch.
