Re: Clutch replacement
I don't think so - not on this specific model. As we are talking about the piloted system that part C is another £146, whereas the clutch release bearing buffer on the manual system is only £28 - and I think this is the part you are talking about Paul - shown in the diagram below - part 2 is always recommended to replace with the clutch.Paul-R wrote:But not recommended to replace it at the same time as the other two items?

Re: Clutch replacement
Reconditioning clutches at its simplest basically involves skimming the pressure plate surface (if required) and renewing the friction material on the driven plate. The springs and release fingers should also be checked and replaced if needed.
If I ever get one of my 4x gti turbo CX's back on the road, then I dread one of the clutches going in them, because they're all 2 sensor cars (only made for a couple of years) and the clutch is different to the diesels and single sensor models (which I know the hard way... Don't fit!) I have one brand new spare in the loft, but god knows if I could find another now! Reconditioning may be the only way...
If properly done, it's absolutely fine, but if new off the shelf clutches are available, it's rarely cheaper or worth doing. I'm really surprised that Citroen offer them in their parts lists?! Unfortunately on some older cars, there's no choice but to recondition though, because spares aren't available.Paul-R wrote:I was in the motor trade in the seventies and eighties and we neither used nor were offered reconditioned clutches. Now that I think about it I have this impression that recon clutches were a fifties thing for coil spring clutches.
