Which clutch kit
Hi all as you probably allready know i recently past my beloved xantia onto my daughter hwo then sold it to a freind ( Not happy ) i have recently been informed that it needs a new clutch and hve been quoted 295 quid to do the job ( even less happy ) so iset about looking for a kit to fit myself as im not happy with them hving to pay those prices however i cant seem to find anyone selling a reasonably priced kit without needing the engine code so can anyone help pls its a 96 1.9TD ive found one at euro car parts for £ 63.45 but as i said i cant guarantee its the right one as i dont know the engine code.
Yipee i have the xant lets i hope i keep her this time

I agree £295 is not too bad given the cost of a decent clutch kit and the amount of work needing doing but I'm sure if you shop around the small Indies with a good local reputation you'll be able to do better Tom.
Can you do it yourself? It's well in the remit of DIY and there's a good few words about it on here...

2 weeks ago I would have done your clutch for £100 + parts but I've just lost my workshop facilities
Well, not quite lost them but my M8 has moved his racing team to near Banbury so I will now have to travel 60 miles each way when I need to work on my Xantia and it's pretty much put work for others out of the question

There's only 1 type of clutch for all 1.9TD Xantias (although the later 1.9SD which are turbo with the intercooler use a different on). Provided it is the clutch with the release bearing attached to the pressure plate, then it is he right one.
If it's ECP part no 641545051 then it's the right one. Your engine code will be DHX or Y most probably.

My mate's had quotes in that region for he clutch on his C5 2.0 HDi 136. But the clutch is a self adjusting one (which needs special tools to fit - do a google on LUK self adjusting clutches and be afraid for the future!), and the DMF needs replacing - the parts are over £500 at factor prices (I think he's found them for about £400 on line). Factor in 8 hours of garage labour and HMRCs share, and bingo, a four figure bill. Ouch. It's only done 85k as well! We might well be getting accquainted with the inside of a C5 engine bay during the Chrimbo holidays....

LUK self adjusting clutches, yet another load of money spinning nonsense. These are also fitted to transits post-2000 and I have read the official fitting instructions. Read then ignored, the clutches work perectly, last perfectly without using this 'special fitting tool'.RichardW wrote:My mate's had quotes in that region for he clutch on his C5 2.0 HDi 136.
