2006 Golf 5 clutch problem started after exhaust pipe fix Sign In

Hi all,
I am driving a 2006 Golf 5 2.0 ltr petrol engine, mileage is 135K. I do not know much about cars. so I will really appreciate if you please bear with me.

Last week while i was driving, suddenly loud noise started while I was pressing the accelerator. I stopped at a garage and the guys told me that it was a problem related to exhaust system and assured me that I can still carry on driving but should not drive fast.

The following day I took it to a mechanic and he had a look and found the problem. He said that he will need to weld the exhaust. He went under the car and took out a piece, i did some googling and found that it is the front exhaust flex pipe and the rectangular clamp was broken. The mechanic welded that clamp with the pipe and then went under the car and did some more welding to put it back I assume.

However, that loud noise went away but later I noticed that ass soon I press the clutch pedal, there is a grinding noise. I am not exactly sure if the noise starts as soon as I start the car but I can definitely hear some grinding noise while depressing the clutch and even when the clutch is fully depressed the noise is still there and I think i cannot feel enough power while accelerating.


I can definitely say that the noise was not there before the exhaust fix. I have done some research and in most cases it is said that this noise is related to the release bearing (throw-out bearing) of the clutch. But I am just wondering how the fixing of the exhaust pipe can effect the clutch system? Are those systems related? Is it possible that the exhaust pipe and the transmission system are very nearby mechanic might have damaged the transmission system while putting back the exhaust pipe? Or may be some transmission fluid/gear oil was lost during the work and the clutch problem started?


N:B I might have asked some dumb question due to my lack of knowledge , please forgive me for those

Your car really needs to be inspected by a professional to determine what that noise is and what caused it. Nobody online can know what your situation is without seeing the vehicle.
