X-type clutch - £1700?
Holy crap, just been quoted £1700 for a new clutch on the X-type - craziest thing I've ever heard!

Sounds high, but it's very labour-intensive - always a problem with the Mondeo (which to all intents and purposes the X-type is, in terms of servicing)

Problem is,is that it has a dual mass flywheel which are around £1000 on their own.Now you dont have to change these all the time but on Jags there usually very worn.Getting the box in and out is about 10 -12 hours and then a clutch on top...
Welcome to jag ownership..;) |
How much is it for a Mondeo 4x4 if they're the same underneath? Might be worth seeing if Ford will do the work saving you money?
|
Even on the fwd Mondeos it's a lengthy job 'cos the front subframe has to be dropped to swing the gearbox out .... might be worth trying what Drac sez.
|
I've got the svc manual here on the latop. Does look like a big job... crossmember does not dropping etc, really cannot be arsed to do it myself though. Will try a Ford garage - good idea, thanks!
|
If it's done by a Ford garage, is the warranty kept?
|
Just come out of warranty unfortunately :( Ford garage flat-out refused to even look at it because they don't have the special tools etc!
