1.6 L diesel clutch

[rodders57]

Hi Guys,

My clutch has just started slipping and I've just had a quote for £624.00 to have it done. Wll you could've knocked me down with a feather.
Does anybdy know how difficult this job is to do? The garage have said they would need to drop the engine out to do it, which involves a whole days labour, but I have read up on this and I understand that only the transmition needs to be moved out.
If anybody has done one of these I would be grateful of some pointers.
I've got the Bently service manual but this doesnt really tell you how to go about the job.
Please help if you can.

Thanks, in anticipation

Rod.

The wiki has the procedure without taking the engine out listed here..https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Ge ... eplacement

The Bentley manual has a couple of pages too

Its not a £600+ job
£100 for the new clutch kit from brickwerks and about 2 hours work with a mate helping
As you say..off with the gearbox
