Hi I have a whining noise when I press the clutch
Assistant: Has the clutch been slipping? Are you having any trouble shifting?
Customer: No slipping and no trouble shifting
Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car?
Customer: 2005 bmw 120d
Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far?
Customer: Haven't tried anything. I've been told by someone that it's the dual mass fly wheel and it's will cost a lot but the car isn't worth that much so it's not realistic to fix
Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?
Customer: No
