Clutch squeal sollution

Hello.

For the people who hear a squeaky noise when they release their clutch (also when the engine isn't turning), here might be a possible solution that has worked with many people.

If your car also makes a squeaky noise with the engine off while releasing the clutch, you got a big chance that this is gonna help.

All you have to do is lubricate a part that is located underneath the airbox.

Here's a picture of that part :


Make sure that you lubricate this part.
When you press and release the clutch, this part moves around.
The noise appears when the clutch is released.
After lubricating this part, the noise should be gone.

Greetings

PS : If your car makes a squeaky noise while driving, or while you're in first gear, then this might be another type of problem and this solution might not help.
