172 Clutch Kit

[JW]

Hi everyone.

Was driving home the other day and unfortunately my clutch decided to go! :dapprove:

I was wondering how much a new clutch kit for the Clio 172 would cost?

And where is the best / recommended place to buy one from?



Thanks a lot,

Jamie.

Genuines Renault, can get them from K-tec i believe, won't be a cheap repair this.

may as well put something better in there if your changing it.

Helix would be a good option!

Well £140 doesnt seem too steep for the clutch kit to me.

I agree with you on upgrading it while its all out, but all depends on how much money it will cost for upgrades...

How much for a Helix clutch?

Stick with the stock clutch its £80 ish from motorfactories etc and IMO the best to use (although I'd go for a Renault one) forget anything uprated stock is better for OE and even way over OE power levels IMO.

the one from gsf is a renault one, about £100

helix clutch is a bad idea, horrible to drive with day to day, and about £350

how can a Helix organic plate clutch be horrible?

its very similar to standard just with more heavy duty faces. they are designed for road and track day use.

anyways, the organic cluth plate is £92.31 +VAT from Demon Tweeks.

so a better product for similare money.

shows what some people know..... or rather dont!

Definetly get a genuine Valeo one if your going standard! The pattern copies aren't as good.

have you ever tried one?
what crawled up your arse and died? WHERE in your post does it mention anything about organic?

yeah, i used to run one on my saxo.

why would you automatically presume that he would go from a standard clutch to a full on Helix cerametallic paddle clutch?!?!?!

just getting tired of people being given the wrong information from so called 'experts'.

 

[Fred@BTM]

LOL likewise!

so because you used one on a saxo that makes it automatically good for a clio?

ha, try posting correctly next time

 

[fmp_]

i have never claimed to be an expert. i know what i know, and if that info can help others i share it.

and i would assume the same product for similar vehicles would work and be suitable in the same way. if you can prove otherwise to me then please do!

but hey ho.... whatever!

Helix do two kits iirc for the clio..

1 - paddle plate, uprated cover (has remarkably good feel, and takes loads of power - but doesnt last long as it wears the flywheel out)

2 - Organic, basically uprated std type, will take 220bhp all day, we have fitted loads of these and they are perfectly fine for road use, infact some customers thought they were nicer than std ones. circa £280 for the kit

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm no longer in the clio game, i've retired from "expert" level

 

[BenR]

Now your just an ass who can say whatever he wants....woo hoo! lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

i've got a V6, which is on throttle bodies, a blonde mrs, who happens to be from sweden, and a huge penis, i can see why people don't like me
