Wife was driving back from the airport on the motorway, noticed the rev counter started droping off then picking up again, also noticed that the engine was reving high when she changed gear, suddenly no power at all when she pulled over there was a strong smell of smoke and a lot of smoke coming from the back end, car was towed home by the RAC, had a look this morning starts no problem, revs no problem but when you it in gear won't move, she swears that she could not feel any slippage with the clutch, but for some one who thinks the "E" on the petrol guage means enough,wouldn't take much notice (2000 C4)

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sorry :sad: to hear about your woes. Does sound like the clutch. Recently had my clutch changed but it didn't get as bad as you're describing. Methinks RAC should have taken your car o the garage. Let us know what you find :?:

I had mine changed
My indie said that it can suddenly give up the ghost without signs of slipping
After he changed it he said"you certaintly have had your moneys worth"
Burning, smoke and smell sounds like your clutch
One more thing my indie pointed out was the clutch is designed to wear out on the pressure plate side before the flywheel side.
This saves your flywheel.
Get Indie to swop rms and maybe the intermediate shaft seal as well.
When I had mine done there was still a leak and it turned out to be the intermediate shaft bearing retaining bolts - they sit below oil sump level so I'm told.

new clutch / RMS fitted and what a difference, wife thinks it's a new car and the best part of all was the bill £739, this included £40 charge to pick the car up as well
Was that for a 996 C4S ?
Is that a Sachs clutch kit, baring any disasters I take you were in and out in a day.
OPC Cardiff quoted me this morning £ 1400 inc IMS and RMS.
Local Indy quoted £ 1250.
So, £ 750 sounds very good.
Yes C4S and Sachs clutch kit, the same that OPC use without the Porsche box. Took a day to do, you could even stay in a hotel at Wallingford, pretty town, and still be in the money!
