clutch life expectancy

[ed_172_cup]

when do the clutches need replacing on 172's typically??(my car is 53 plate and gets driven pretty hard)....

 

[Big Iain]

40-50k?

 

[Dubai182]

I think Mark (Markcup) has done over 70k and still on stock clutch and he tracks his car pretty often. I've done 49k and no problems yet.

 

[ed_172_cup]

cool cheers.

40-50k?

[Big Iain]

2 owners before me must have fucked it then lol

 

[bmh.01]

Whereas mines on 42k and i've just put its third one in lol (don't ask).

Nearing 70k and all fine here (now I've said that I bet it goes soon...)

 

[klp clio]

mine has done 126,000 on a 51 plate and still got the original clutch and it gets well used daily

mines on 43k and is at the top of the peddle. that said my mk2 was like that and i hadnt changed it at 55k when i sold it.

my old ph1 had a change at 45k just before i bought it, it wasn't the clutch itself that failed though, it was the bearings.

replaced with a k-tec group N job. terrible in traffic...it was either on or off. especially when it was really hot.

2 years and 3 months, 80 000 miles and still fine. (182)

 

[MarkCup]

85+ on mine now, and has never given even a hint of slip.

Occasionaly my clutch creates a sort of squeal like its slipping, but i get no power loss, this is at 46k on a 1.2 16v though. Iv had it looked at and they say its a sign of wear and nothing major to worry about? anyone else get this noise?

 

[DrR]

Mine had one at 40k ish, but didn't own the car then so don't know why.

 

[Cookie]

48k on mine thus far

Most clio's have quite high biting points though don't they?

 

[MrMark]

yeah, they are all near the top of the pedal.
