Clutch

my clutch is slipping on my 200tdi i was just woundering if it is a hard job to do.

Not technicaly difficult just heavy awkward work as you either need to take out the gearbox or the engine to get at it.

thanks for the reply i thought it was going to be a bit of a pain .

check the fluid level mine was low and leaking and that made it slip

is it possible a nackared master cylinder is the problem my level is ok but the cylinder is leaking abit.

A slipping clutch? Through low fluid/knackered cylinder?

Think again... the hydraulics are used to push the fork which pushed the bearing which acts on the centre of the cover which pushes the levers of the spinning cover in and releases the pressure on the plate - no more drive.

If it's slipping it's worn, or the cover is not exerting enough pressure on the plate anymore, or there is oil contamination on the clutch.

Just replaced my clutch in my 200tdi had to remove the gearbox anyways cos it was fooked, i took the interior out and floor panels, seats, the lot!!

Wasnt a bad job to do just a pain in the ass.
