Posts: 53 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | my clutch snapped t'other week.. i was driving into the college carpark, went round this corner.. dipped the cluth.. car carries on going forwards.. im like "shat!" not knowing whats going on so i knocked it into neutral and braked just as i heard this PING! type noise and my clutch pedal just vanished.. I had to sit there for 6 hours (after a 3 hour lesson) waiting for my dad to get back from a funeral.. luckily it was payday too :)

Posts: 694 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Now you see why as soon as i get my new job, the Cinq is gonna be replaced by a shiny new car :) I've finally had enough of poor build quality, rattles and squeeks and constantly paying out for new parts. Look out for a 'breaking red cinq sporting' post in the new year ;) Another day...another problem...

![]() | yeah lets be honest the cinq gearbox isnt the smoothest with a clutch.it just depends what vroads your driving on,if its motorway etc then fine but if its busy traffic then its more sensible to call someone.thats why i always have breakdown cover for just these annoying thingsB) The Fiat Cinquecento Fun While It Runs
