Hi all.

Just had my clutch and DMF replaced. I still get a slight thumping rhythm when slightly pressing the clutch that increases with engine speed. Can also hear a faint thumping noise.

Car had done 125k miles and timing belt was done at 100k. Been on long life service :(. I bought it 6 months ago. Had an ALH before which was solid.

How does this idle sound to you guys?

I'm not an ALH expert but the video at idle sounds good to me... Is there any fluctuation on the tachometer?
