Clutch release bearing

[MarkMchugh]

The wife’s Hyundai i30 needs a new clutch release bearing! Is this a wear and tear part of the gear box!? It’s on 40k miles ! Only asking coz the ford dealer we got it from don’t think the warranty will cover it! Cheers

It is wear and tear yeah, but shouldn't have gone after 40k miles.

Will be a tough one to argue though.

 

[MarkMchugh]

Cheers pal ,

No chance on a warranty I'd say.

Could try and negotiate some sort of discount if you point out that it shouldn't have failed at 40k.

Most modern cars should see 80-100k easy with typical driving before needing a clutch.

Dam only had it two months! Would it f**k the gear box up if not repaired!

Yeah I did tell the women on the front desk I felt like we had been gang fucked a bit! She said if we spoke to the manager we could maybe sort something out ‘ looking at 700 ish

A decent LuK clutch kit for an I30 is £100, so £600 labour?

Take it down the road to Mr Clutch or similar.
