Technical Stilo Warranty Question (please Help!)

[cazzo_man]

Hi,
I have a Fist Stilo 03 1.6 16v active.
It is currently in the dealership awaiting a new clutch!
I have done 31,500 miles to date and was wondering my clutch squeeks and juddres in first gear - they advised me that the fly wheel needs changing (under warranty) and the clutch - i have to pay for the clutch £82?
Does anyone know if this is correct?

Hi

Are you in 3rd year warranty? If so, maybe they treat the clutch as a wear 'n' tear item!

However, the clutch judder seems to be a common problem on this forum.

Hi,
Thanks for the info!
I am in my 3rd year warranty!
It is a bit surprising that this issue hasn't been dealt with under warranty - considering the amout of clutch problems the stilo has had to date - surely this is a design fault and such should be covered under the warranty

Mines a 1.4 and suffers the similar trouble but im getting mine done under warrenty it goes in tomoz so i shouldnt see why there is a prob

I had mine done about 2 months ago (4th Year warranty) all free ....

What did they do on yours Bo?

Mine makes a knocking noise when you are in first and pull the pedal up to the biting point, and the pedal squeaks, but it seems ok apart from that.

I have some random clicking noises under the car when coing onto and coming off power at low speeds and sometimes its jumpy. Is this clutch problems?

 

[flashman]

i also get the same clicking / metallic noise when on and off the clutch in town. yours a jtd?

 

[Big Black Stilo]

Na, its a 1.2

I had clutch judder,made the whole car shake when it was cold. The pedal was squeeking but I WD40ed the hell out of it round Bens at the weekend, its much better now

 

[Big Black Stilo]

well, def not got judder then

i wonder what the clicking is though?

 

[little becky]

[StiloJoe]

Glad i got this sorted now

 

[little becky]

[cazzo_man]

Just got my Stilo back from the garage all done for free (after much heated discussions with the warranty company) thanks everyone - at least i'm not the only one!

Car is fine and slightly faster (wierd)

Clicking is white plastic ball cup behind pedal,this breaks & clicks.
Judder in 3rd year is up to warranty company,not Fiat or dealer.
Squeak will go away with oil/WD40 but will return,use white grease.

 

[Big Black Stilo]

so is this clicking wear or warrenty? im in the 3rd year

 

[StiloJoe]

cool glad its bk 2 normal joe

Thanx and also mpg seemsd to be better too

Now averaging 40mpg before was about 32-35

 

[T14086]

so is this clicking wear or warrenty? im in the 3rd year

It's really up to warranty company but if car has had 1st & 2nd service I would reckon (hope) so,can only ask.Get them to quickly check/listen to it first as it should be obvious if it is this fault.

Mine squeeks / clicks especially on hot days but is solved every 6 months by a good spray of white grease...as above it does work!
