Unhappy


Back to the old problem of clutch judder! I've lost track on what the latest is . . .and can't search!!

MY00 17k miles. My dealer has agreed to fit a new clutch - but I remember folks on here saying that it didn't aways cure it. I get judder usually when cold, and also clutch squeal when hot.

Was the problem ever fully cured? What should I look out for with the dealer?

My MY00 took 2 attempts. The P1 clutch housing was what sorted it in the end. As I understand it the dealer has two options of a modified clutch or the P1 option.

If you are going to have replaced, insist on the P1 clutch housing. Like Otis, mine was replaced with one about 3000 miles ago - no problems since. It should be noted that none of the solutions are 100% guaranteed to cure the clutch judder, but the P1 clutch housing does seem to the most reliable so far.

Email me if you want the name of contact at my local dealer who could discuss this with you (if you want a second opinion).
