Bit of a long shot, but just wondered if there was a guide on how to change the clutch's on these kicking around on here at all?
Friends clutch has gone, been quoted £370 at a garage to have it replaced, is this a reasonable price?
Only experience I've had of changing clutch's is on Renault Clio's, which you have to drop the subframe to get the gearbox out, so had a long book time and as such garages quoted quite a lot. Is it similar in 206's?

Dont need to drop the subframe on a 206, pretty simple job, can be done in a morning if you know what your doing, but even if you dont shouldnt take more than a day

Book time is 3 hours to do one on a TU engine
Diesels can be a little harder but its all the same at the end of the day

Not really, isnt much extra on the gti to be in the way of the box.

Does seem a bit steep. If you have the tools readily availible then give it a go, most of it can be done with a decent socket set, the biggest one is the 32mm nut on the driveshaft.

I don't know the name of it, it was a small garage, I think they were polish, but they got the job done, rather quickly as well. Dropped the car off at 9 AM and picked it up at 2 PM.

I got a quote for £80 somewhere else but they said they would only be able to do it in 2 weeks time.
