Clutch & Flywheel

[Guest chon ji]

Have been told by my local Citreon dealer/garage that I need a new clutch fitted and along with this I need a new flywheel. While phoning around to compare other quotes nearly all garages have told me the same thing..." if just changing the clutch you don't need to re-new the flywheel because its a solid flywheel not dual mass"

 

Just wondered if anyone can shed some light on this as I don't want to stung by my citreon dealer for unnecessary work.

Ask to see the flywheel before it is replaced then you will see if there is any damage to it just as they must have seen when the clutch was removed. Damage can occur if the clutch has completely worn out so that the metal parts in the clutch plate dig grooves in the surface of the flywheel.
