Hi all so i have posted on here many times about a cold start rattle and have yet to fully fix that issue but recently a new issue ahs popped up. Once in a while now being more common, only on cold starts the drivers footwell area will have a rattle noise that sounds like if you kick a spring door stop. The noise also is heard not quite as harsh when in 1st or 2nd gear under 2k rpm. It does not make the noise at idle at all. I did replace the clutch about 6k miles ago with a Valeo single disc clutch kit. I do remember thinking the throw-out bearing was kind of cheap compared to the oem metal one since the face of the new one was plastic. Idk if that has anything to do with it but its driving me mad and kinda freaking me out since its my daily. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Maybe the spring in the clutch pedal assembly? At times mine has made a "springy" sound and I lubed it to help the issue.

 

I'm assuming it's inside the car just this sounds like it's coming form outside because if I have the window down it is much louder. I will definitely check that though thanks for the input.

 

Where is the location of that spring is it somewhat easily accessible or is it a take apart the pedal sort of thing. I tried to take a video to catch the noise but of course it stopped doing it as soon as I turned in the camera.
