Hi folks,

i will soon need a new clutch and i was wondering if you would have an idea of how much i would expect to pay???

i have been given a price here in belfast of £1600 inc new flywheel plus labour, is this near the mark or am i being shafted??????

cheers

shane

Is it really necessary to replace the flywheel as well as the clutch?

Sounds about right mate
I've just had my clutch replaced without the flywheel for £1150
I believe the flywheel costs around £600 ( you have a better deal than me! )
Most of the other cost is labour they estimate 10hrs (engine out job)

Cant see why the engine has to come out .... £360 labour + parts...+ vat from us, All genuine parts as well.

Sh@t is that true...

Less work than a b5 rs4.....

Grizz, would you recommend just using an OEM clutch or is there value in fitting a Sachs clutch and have you fitted one?

Oe is good and has a 2 year warranty.. Never fitted a sachs so cant comment..

I heard the 2 yr warranty doesn't exist on a clutch as wear and tear is the most likely cause for failure within 2 yrs

cheers folks,

i'm now faced with an even bigger problem, i had booked the car in for a service a week ago, also mentioned that the front shocks are leaking a bit (poor stability on a fast corner).

problem now is that i have been told that i won't have the car back until friday, problem with this is that i'm due on the Ring on saturday. then drive down to south of france for a family get together.

how long should it take to replace the 2 fornt shocks??????

not 3 days.

best of it is they can't get me a car of any kind, todate have spent over £1000 on boats, tunnels and hotels and i'm being asked would i take thet car back without the shocks replaced and take it in to them when i get back.

has anyone here dealt with Audi on these sort of matters, at the minute i'm snookered no car and everything else booked and paid for!!!!!!

They should be a next day order but they do need the car overnight to repressurise the DRC and let it settle and check again in the morning.
