206 QUICKSILVER CLUTCH
-> 206 Problems

Hey Everyone...

Just been to a garage as my little car has been making all sorts of funny noises and I've been told I need a new clutch.

I asked for a written quote and he's given me a price of £375. The man said that it was expensive but he would fit a really good one, no cheap parts etc....I don't know whether this is a little to overpriced?? And whether it's worth looking else where for a cheaper quote...but I'm now worried I'll get cheap parts put in if I go else where..

Hmm..

HELP!? Smile

Helen.

that does sound quite reasonable really. shop around and compare. perhaps after receiving a quote, try and bluff by telling them you were given a quote of 300 or less. may get a cracking deal

a genius clutch kit is around 100 quid these day.

no idea how the 16v engine, but for 8v they normally quote 4 hr labour.
