Newbie 05 Diesel Caddy..clunking noise on idle

[piccgeoff]

Hey all...found the forum after googling a noise I've got in my manual 05 Diesel caddy and found a post with same issue.

Specifically: When at idle, in neutral with clutch disengaged, there is intermittent clunking noise from the engine. The sound is not that of the engine. If I depress the clutch the noise disappears entirely. There is also vibration through the clutch pedal if it it is VERY lightly depressed. I do not rest my foot on the clutch whilst driving, nor do I ride the clutch.

Any comments would be appreciated, so I can get some background before I visit the workshop.

Sounds like the clutch throw out bearing might be on the way out.

Thank you for your reply....

...I hope that's it as it sounds cheaper than the flywheel problem that's also mentioned..thank you for your reply.

I would say flywheel. They're known for it.
