Johndouglas Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 That's good to hear! Was it a model with the DMF? Quote
coastline taxis Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 That's good to hear! Was it a model with the DMF?yes it has the dual mass on it 2002 2litre hdi.only advice worth noting is the fact that the thrust bearing pulls and not pushes. so put thrust bearing onto fulcrum arm and dont locate it into the pressure plat untill the g/box is inn. other than that they are a dodle to do much easier than the vectras and mondeos ive had to do in the past Quote
Johndouglas Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 More questions! How many miles did you get from the clutch? Has the DMF given any trouble? I've heard one or two guys saying they've had clutch trouble early on - mainly on Pugs? Quote
coastline taxis Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 ;) More questions! How many miles did you get from the clutch? Has the DMF given any trouble? I've heard one or two guys saying they've had clutch trouble early on - mainly on Pugs?car has got 160,000n on the clock. its a o2 and ive had it on taxis since 04 and there not been a bit of bother with the clutch. like ive said early i have 3 of these rented out to drivers and they are no trouble at all.each car comes in once a month and i just go round every nut,bolt, and screw and nip them up also go berserk with wd40 on everything in sight. also things like changing brake and clutch fluid at regular intervals keeps them in good workin order.
