#1: Gearbox/clutch Author: peterhdi, Location: bradfordPosted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 3:26 pm ---- Sat in traffic minding my own earlier, Smoke starts coming from under the bonnet-had a quick look-rekon its coming from the clutch, got that horrible smell!
1.4 hdi by the way.
Any way, since smoking one more time it has settled, but it's a bit crunchie going in to gear-juddery when setting off and the pedal has become pretty stiff?
Is it a hydraulic clutch? could it be oil that has spilt on to the the clutch making it smoke and slip? Any thoughts/experience greatly recieved.
Complete newbie to peugeot at your mercy.

Sounds like the clutch assembly is worn out.
