clutches

[kayjay283]

Hi there. just joined the fiat forum becuase i just bought a punto a few weeks ago. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about fiat clutches? I had a cinquecento last year and the clutch went on that i sold that a few weeks ago and bought a punto. also my sister also has a cinquecento and had her clutch replaced last week and yesterday the clutch went on my punto. Just really wondered if they are kind of prone to things like this becuase it is rather annoying living in the middle of no where without a car and not being able to get to work.

Clutches go... fact, maybe the sellers knew they were going and offered the cars for sale and u were unlucky / lucky buyers who knows?

Not the end of the world, just get a good clutch properly fitted and replace everything else you need to while you got it in bits.

Save it being off the road too often in the future (gulp)

Good luck

I read on a post on here Mr Clutch was a good price with a good warranty.

Replace the lot, pressure plate, release bearing, clutch plate, check the release fork and the slave cylinder maybe swap that too, do a bleed on it?

i have just spoke to the mechanic and its all been sorted

apparantly it was the release bearing had broken and the release arm had got bent up aswell.

glad that its done tho
