weseeyou Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 has anyone had a Clutch replacement done on this model recently please that could give me an idea of how much it is likely to cost (labour and materials ) if done in a garage .I an unlikely to be able to tackle this on my own due to reoccurring back problem . may have to bite the bullet and scrap the car . many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IINexusII Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 does it have a dual mass flywheel? if it does it would cost around £600+ including labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weseeyou Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 m good question ! I have no idea. Is there any way I can tell without stripping it ? Just checked the manual and the clutch should be a iB5 type 210mm single dry plate diaphram spring clutch asembly . It doesn't say anything about dual mass ?

IINexusII Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 i believe if its a TDCi engine then it does, if its TDDi then it doesnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weseeyou Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 sorry I should have mentioned it is a Mk1 (2000 Y reg) so it is the change over year isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 £250-£300 for the clutch change. Where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weseeyou Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi Stef123 thanks for your reply I'm near Crewkerne South Somerset. I got an estimate from sa local garage of £350-400 today but they warned me it was subject to what they find ie new drive shafts etc . I kinda got the impression they were setting me up for undisclosed extras as they have MOT tested the car only last week so know it well .

stef123 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 New driveshafts.. Driveshaft seals maybe. Sounds like they are gonna take the mick. Their price seems quite steep too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weseeyou Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 sorry Stef I seem to always have problems loging in on this site for some reason. Firefox playing up. I thought that the price was rather high too but perhaps they also assumed that it had a dual mass clutch ? I'll give them a ring tomorrow and see how they are costing it. They are generally a good bunch and I take all my vehicles to them for MOT . I thought he said that when the shafts are removed they can introduce dirt ? presumably from the gaiters ? I wasn't really paying attention when I realised that he wasn't going to give me a firm price quotation. Theres £ 80 Vat on top of that as well!.... i found two local Ford Focus taxed and MOT'd for half a year for £800 yesterday and both looked a better prospect than keeping this money pit .
