Hello, I have a 2002 1.9jtd cargo and when press the clutch it makes quite a loud whirring noise but sometimes when I let the clutch out the whirring stays for a while then diminishes. Does anybody have any idea what it is?

Thanks
 
Without hearing it, suggest its the clutch release bearing it will take a second or two to spin down after having engaged with the pressure plate. Brace yourself it probably needs a new clutch. How long since the last clutch?

Ive not had it long and previous owner was an arse so got no idea.

Do you know what kind of price it is for fit clutch kit? So I can get an idea.

Many Thanks for the reply.
 
Was he a boy racer spinning wheels type arse? cos that doesnt help clutches
Clutches are a few hundred, add in mechanics time, vat, cakes youre looking at a lot of money and of course theres the great new innovation of dual mass flywheels which might also need replacing BUT take it to a dealer get their opinion first cos it might not be that.
 
Yes I think he was, he put white gaffer tape, tram lines down the middle of the van! should have walked away!

Do you know what clutch to use as everyone slates the clutch on here but no one recommends one!

Thanks
 
Ive just been quoted on the phone 750 for new clutch and flywheel?

This was done over the phone having not even seen the doblo! He said the flywheel should be replaced as well.

Is this correct?
 
Yes unfortunatly dmf's don't last and theres no point fitting a new clutch to find the dmf fails shortly after. To my mind thats a good quote be clear about whether thats inc or ex vat and labour though. I paid 1200 inc vat for the same work on my Saab.
If you go to eurocar parts website it will have the prices for the parts as a guide.
 
yes you should change the dmf at the same time as the clutch. Solid conversion kits ar available for some vehicles, opinion is divided over whether they're a good idea or not.
