ben p Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 My clutch started slipping in high gears about 2 weeks ago, and has since developed a very unhealthy chattering / rattling noise under de-accelaration in low gears. Just spoke to the dealer where I bought the car 2 years ago and also have a service plan with and my "discounted" cost was........ Wait for it.... Clutch and flywheel included fitting... £1996!!!!!!! Feel like I've been repeatedly kicked in the nuts. Quote
Paddy78 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I'm sure you know this already, but I believe his Exedy Clutch and Fizenda Flywheel are roughly £700... And the labour should be around £200 I only want a £500 consultancy charge... and you've still saved £500! Sorry to hear about your problems btw... Quote
scottyd Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Dude go elsewhere your going to get it for half the price just had mine replaced. Got the parts from zmanalex, top service as usual Quote
sunshine Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Get them from ebay, much cheaper than anywhere else Quote
ben p Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah I know the drill, Just wanted to see what the parts "discount" equated to I receive with my service plan! Evidently not a great deal!! I think they pull these figures out of thin air, so unnecessary to just blatantly try to rip people off! Quote
ben p Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 I'm I right in thinking the clutch and fly both need to be done together? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I'm I right in thinking the clutch and fly both need to be done together? Indeed they do. Both in stock and good to go same/next day Drop me a pm if I can help you further mate Alex Quote
coldel Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Always advisable to do both, usually if the clutch goes it wrecks the flywheel - if you only get the clutch and spend £200 on labour and they open it up to find a damaged flywheel, you then need to order a flywheel and pay even more labour costs. Don't go near a dealer, the mechanics are no better, and in many cases worse than a decent indy and the costs are just outrageous even when 'discounted'. Quote
Zugara Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Pffffff, that's nothing.......£2200 for an ABS module on a VW Beetle.... Quote
DaJimstar Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I'm I right in thinking the clutch and fly both need to be done together? Indeed they do. Both in stock and good to go same/next day Drop me a pm if I can help you further mate Alex Alex, if you could PM me m8, I am after a clutch and fly wheel for the HR, and some oils? That would be superb if you could. I would really appreciate it and sorry bud for last order.. ?? Quote
smudgedon Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I had a 2007 Audi A3 a couple of years ago DSG box went (semi auto gearbox) and Audi quoted £7200 for parts and labour...... Thank **** it was under warranty! As everyone else has said, much better prices out there Quote
