squeaky clutch, squeaky windows, squeaky everything...
hey this may or may not be a silly question, i'm not sure... over the past few weeks my clutch has been fairly noisy (squeaky). there don't seem to be any other problems shifting wise so i've been ignoring it for the moment... should i be worried? i plan on going to the dealer next month but may do so sooner if advised.
could it be the weather? it's been consistantly humid for a while now...
i hope it's not a big problem, if any. and my windows... sheesh. they shriek everytime i put'em up or down. that i can't wait to have fixed!
any thoughts?

Squeaks here too.
My drivers' side window squeaks. I also hear a squeak that I originally thought came from the clutch, but the husband seems to think it is a squeaky engine mount or something. Does this sound familiar: It's kind of like a chirp/clicking sound that normally happens when launching from first, i.e. with a fair amount of touque. Since I can get it to do it by hitting the gas pedal in first without even touching the clutch, it can't be coming from there, at least in my case.
Since I haven't noticed any mechanical symptoms or performance problems, I don't think I'm going to bother with a special trip into the dealer. Within the next three months or so, I will have to go in for scheduled maintenance anyway, so I'll just mention it then.
But if you're close to your dealer, you might want to have them check it out.

I say go get them to fix your window squeak asap. I mentioned my windows squeaking to another mini owner, and he said he just took his in for a squeak and they came back squeak free.
I let them squeak for another week or two then my window started twitching. It went up and down over and over... with no keys or anything in the ignition. Then they started hesitating going back up.
When i called the dealership, as soon as i said "squeaky windows" they asked about my new issues before i even told them i had them. They replaced my window motors under warranty.
But watch out, my dealership said they break the speaker clips alot when they disassemble the doors... so make sure the speaker clip around your door opener is in tact after they finish :P

Until it gets worse, however, I don't think I'm going to go through the hassle of getting it serviced.
I love your user name btw.

They fixed my sunroof (motor failed) and now it rattles like hell. Time to return to the dealer... again.

my squeak's different. it's whenever i push the clutch, regardless of whether or not the car's on, in gear, etc. i'm hoping it just needs some lubrication, but i have an appointment with my dealer tomorrow anyway. i think i scared the woman making my appointment when i gave her the list of problems...
squeaky windows
squeaky clutch
boot latch malfunction
SES light on
ebreak sticks when the temperature's under 50, mostly doesn't hold when it's above
door handles froze up this winter trapping me in the car.
ha. i haven't been around a dealership in a while so it'll be nice to get all this stuff cleared up!
