Not so sure about diameter, I think the 180 one is a tad lighter than the 138. I'll have to pull the one out of my scrap 138 lump and weigh them both.

Picking up an LUK clutch this afternoon for £86.26 + VAT. Car will be back on the road by this evening.

Serves me right for trying to be organized about it all. Could guarantee if I hadn't have given it so much as a second thought it would have lasted until next week when I was planning on getting it up on axle stands for a couple of days.
Ah well, ive got a couple of good crank sensors lying about. Few hours in the garage this afternoon and it'll be good to go again.

The standard thrust bearing with a decent brand of clutch kit will be fine.
#23: Re: 206 GTi 138 - Clutch Recomendations Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 5:01 pm ---- Bit of grease on the input draft for the bearing doesn't hurt either. I replaced my salve cylinder as well when I did mine. Old one had a leak in it somewhere. Had to bleed it every few months.

Took me about 5 hours from getting the car off the floor to it coming back down. Just need to find my spare radiator now and change that, box came out a slightly awkward angle and just managed to catch the very corner of the radiator. But other than that everything else went smoothly. Not a bolt short or a bolt left over either
