hdi 90 clutch

Post by chinablue »

hi everyone.
first time here so here goes.
ive got a 2001 2.0 hdi 90 saloon. last aug when i got the car the clutch pedal was snagging at about 3/4 down, then one day in sept it went very light to press and about a week later it went with a loud noise and rattling from the engine compartment, it sounded like the plate had broken up and went in the gearbox, i had a new clutch and slave cylinder fitted, then took it back for another new slave as it was leaking, since then its been fine until last week when the pedal started snagging again, is this a common fault with the 406 clutches and can anyone tell me what the problem is or can be before it goes again, you can feel the snagging right down to the slave cylinder when your hand is on it and someone else presses the clutch down, any help is much appreciated.

No it's not normal & it should still be under warranty so take it back ASAP.
