my clutch isn't slipping at all, what it is doing is not quite disengaging fully so that it is an absolute pain to get in gear sometimes then others it just slips in easily, what can i do??

How old is it?

Still under warranty by any chance?

saying that i think it is, think i got till august for warranty. but i need to get a couple things fixed before then really. i got me a bent drive shaft and misaligned shock mount.

just wondered if there was anything i could do to adjust the clutch.

the car has done just over 99000 so plenty on it but it still goes perfectly apart from driver error and the slight clutch problem

been looking at an appropriate haynes manual and it looks like just a simple worn out clutch, bugger. i take it this sorta thing isn't covered under warranty, just worn out :(

Correct. The warranty doesn't apply to any component that has failed as a result of fair wear and tear. :(

denis, if i give you my mates number can you please ring him and tell him this aswell as he tried for ages to convince me to go to my dealer and ask if they will help sort it out.

i seen 120 inc. for a standard and 450 inc. for an uprated including flywheel, cant afford the uprated right now so am gonna go for standard, anybody got any idea how much work involved??

Point him to the site?

Not a piece of homework I feel, you need a ramp.

2-3hours with a ramp and help.

The flywheel with clutch for an Octavia costs

You don't need to change the fly wheel and an uprated Sachs clutch is

pardon me for being ignorant but what is the difference between a full clutch, clutch plates and a clutch kit?? the price i have seen is for a clutch kit and bearing and costs

"This is a staff announcement: telephone call for Mr Delcac on line 1"

just paid a visit to "Mr Clutch" in oxford who qouted me "about 500 quid" to fit a new clutch and thrust bearing and if i need a new flywheel i can add another 500 on top! :eek: :eek: :thumbdwn: :eek:

i said i can get an uprated clutch kit along with a lightened balanced single mass flywheel for about
