#1: biting point Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:57 am ---- Is it possible to get a larger biting point without buying a new clutch as mine is very small? Also I want to be able to get biting point at a relatively low level, mine is quite high.
Do I need new clutch or can I just adjust by pulling a cable or something? I am not sure how clutches work but I'm assuming it is like a bike brake, cable stretches and point of impact gets higher?
Thanks in anything!

The thing with 206's is when it does need a clutch kit ONLY fit one of the following 3 brands:
LUK
Sachs
Valeo
It doesnt matter which of those 3 you fit, there all decent.
As for the cable Peugeot / Citroen part number 2150 EF Clutch cable £32.33

I follow the 2nd paragraph, but what's a 'larger biting point'?

basically my biting point annoyingly feels like only 1 inch, any higher the car starts to make a "rumbling" sound then a little higher it eventually stalls, it doesn't sound too healthy. I'm just hoping it is not a engine possibility because this costs alot.
So I'm looking for two things with the clutch.
1) Lower biting point
2) Larger biting point
I'm really hoping it is cable if it does cost around £30, how much will labour cost approx?
Thank you!

#9: Re: biting point Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 6:17 am ---- a new clutch £350 i think. I'm gonna have to wait for this.
#10: Re: biting point Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 7:18 am ---- It'll be better if I buy the clutch kit myself but I really need advice on a good one...
Obviously the costly ones being better quality but to what extent?
is it worth spending £50-80 more ? what ever one I choose will be brand new anyway.
#11: Re: biting point Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 7:37 am ---- luk, sachs and valeo are oem clutch, stick with them and you will be fine
#12: Re: biting point Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 7:46 am ---- I had a cheap clutch put in the 180 and it felt crap, the bite was very vague and it was quite close to the top of the pedal travel.
Pay the money for better quality.

A cheap one is always a risk.
#14: Re: biting point Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:22 pm ---- this one is by Luk but the clutch kit is relatively cheap? (very good for me !)
please someone tell me if it a DECENT one to get before I buy this.
thanks.

new gearbox quote around £500, I laughed. Got the got for almost that price.
pathetic if I did spend that much and it was not the issue.
so getting different feedback from different mechanics... annoyed. >.<
