New clutch time?

[Stay Puft]

Apologies for my not so technical description.. if I slightly press on the clutch before it actually engages, I can hear a mix or grinding and an air compression sound, and when I actually change gear it seems like I can hear the mechanics of the clutch if that makes sense. This has come really suddenly, first heard it a few days ago and I think it has become louder. The clutch is around 50k miles old according to car history.

New clutch or some other issue?

Thanks

Yep, £425 is cheap!

 

[Amos91]

Price is reasonable, you either have to hang or drop the subframe...

 

[Stay Puft]

Yeah, 6hrs labour after reading about. For some reason I always thought it was a cheapish fix. There goes my wheel refurb and snappy trim

If it's on the real early stages of rattling - just nurse it and be gentle and you'll get loads of life out of it.

 

[JamesBryan]

Take it to @Budgie, supply him with burgers and Corona all day and he'll do it for you :tongueclosed:

 

[Amos91]

I think I noticed mine started to rattle at around 70k, eventually got it changed at 90k because the clutch was really heavy. Turned out the release bearing had collapsed and embedded in the clutch, but was still working!

So yeah, it will probably last a while yet lol.

I've never changed a wheel let alone a clutch!

 

[Chris_Beer]

No better time / car to learn on?

Although it may mean you don't have a car for around a month if thats the case lol

 

[Stay Puft]

Have 0 tools either mate. £440 it's looking like!

 

[JamesBryan]

I've never replaced a clutch, but i'd give it a go only if i had someone with me who knew what they were doing though just to show me.

If you can change brakes, you can change a clutch. As said, it's wise to have someone who's done one before on hand (even if via Facetime etc) to check a few things with.

I'm actually in the middle of taking a Ph1 apart, so it's good to see what things go where. Luckily it doesn't have to go back together 😂

 

[Stay Puft]

Is the clutch change anything major/difficult on these? I have a best mate who is a mechanic by trade, particularly Skoda taxis etc. If you can do a clutch on one car can you do them all??

 

[Stay Puft]
