Hello
For the last 3 weeks there is this knocking sound.
Have been to two car shops now and they are just shaking their heads. Will enter on Monday again to take a deeper look.
The car is an older petrol 1990 Swift Kontiki (CiTROEN C25 SWIFT 640/6 I think it's the old Talbot Express), that I had for 5 years and it has gone well. Just changed clutch two years ago. I'm just driving it around Sweden in the summers no big trips.
The following has happened:
- Noises in the form of knocking sounds that increase when I drive faster (see video clips). If I press down clutch it ticks just a little but increases when I release the clutch. If I press down clutch and accelerate the engine sounds ok. Driving a maximum of 30km/h now as it is worrying. the sound comes from the center or the left side
- Car shop changed left drive knot 5 days ago as there was a crackling sound when I turned and accelerated at low speed. the crackling disappeared but the knocking sound remains.
- another workshop test drove the car without being able to say what it was.
This knocking sound have ben there for 3 weeks but today it gradually disappeared when I was out for an hour city driving.
Now the knocking is goon but if I press clutch down 50% the knocking sound is back...
Wondering if it has to do with gearbox or clutch, that maybe the clutch is broken or too little oil in the gearbox

Appreciate some tips and advice on this
