Diesel Clutch
Hello All,
The clutch on my 2001 CDTi Estate is very much on it's way out but I am reluctant to get rid of her (had her over 4 years and done over 110000 miles in her). She is still on her original clutch at 211000 miles, so it is not bad. Just how difficult a job is it to replace the clutch? How much should I expect to pay? How much of that is the kit and the rest labour, as I dont know how much the actual clutch itself costs? Would really appreciate a heads up from some knowledgable types! Many thanks Admr.

I had clutch replaced in my (petrol v6) and the dual mass flywheel at a cost of around £1300 that included the master and slave cylinders (not sure if it usually does) that includes labour parts and VAT, hope that helps a little

If you look on ebay you'll get a good idea of parts prices but, it is a time consuming job to do. No doubt someone from your area will recommend a garage that will do it for you.
Remember to change the slave cylinder, it is false economy fit the old one back in again. Graham Last edited by graham2230; 9th February 2011 at 19:05.. Reason: poor spelling |

That is not too bad. The difference seems to be the dual mass flywheel cost. How do you know when you have to replace this? Is it strictly necessary? How do you know if it is knackered?
£500 or so I could live with, otherwise it is starting to get too uneconomical which is a shame as I would like to keep her... |

All LUK parts and allot cheaper than some, not going to name the rip off suppliers but after you compare the prices i know where i shall be shopping for clutch parts, you can obtain a complete clutch system, that's everything inc DMF/master/slave cylinders and clutch kit for just over £600 after all this is a common expensive fault, so the rip off garages are charging us between £350 to £600+ just for labour. Checking the DMF if there no more movement than 25 to 30mm and the face is ok, then you need not change it but this is a chance you will have to take with some garages, some will tell the truth and some will rip you off. I've been ripped off once by a garage who said they had changed my slave cylinder, my advice is to tell them that you wish for all the parts that have been changed for you to collect after the job is done, have them checked out independently before paying up,steve |

clutch
I will try a few garages plus the guy I usually use and see what kind of feedback I get.
I really appreciate the responses. As I said earlier, it would be a shame to get rid of her! If I dont have to have the DMF done then it sounds like an economical solution. From the comments received so far it sounds like a days labour for a mechanic, would that be reasonable? |
