Suggestion

Tried convincing myself that they'd "done it properly this time" over the following two weeks only to end up taking it to my local indi who stated that the O/S rear was over 1 degree out on camber and that the bolts to adjust the camber hadn't been moved for what looked like "a number of years..."

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi guys , well after almost 2 yrs ownership the clutch started slipping today, anyone know how much i will be looking at for a new one fitted? cheers neil.

POST 2Original post

Cheapest will be buy the clutch from Euro Car Parts - prices based on 2000 3.4 C2 Clutch = £307.56 Bolts = £1.09 x 6 Flywheel = £407.26 (if needed) a dual-mass flywheel should twist clock & anti-clockwise and be free of Blue spots. Labour at a Porsche specialist min £250 Look at upgrading the RMS to the latest type circa £50 from Porsche :thumb:

POST 4Original post

Typically £600 + VAT fitted for a 3.4 clutch. Grant

POST 5Original post

Hence I said minimum, I managed to get mine done by a Porsche techy for £250 cash but you are quite correct, £350+ is more like it.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

WELL I HAVE BEEN QUOTED 800 - 900 PLUS VAT??

POST 7Original post

Stop shouting! £800 - 900 + vat, i'd expect a flywheel & RMS in that price if not its a tad expensive.

POST 8Original post

Had mine changed about 6 weeks ago. 690 inc VAT, for a 3.6 C2 including new RMS etc. M :thumb:

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

you would shout at £1100 fitted, phoned another dealer, they can do it for £600 plus vat !!!!!

POST 10Original post

Name and shame please, there is no excuse for that big a mark-up.

POST 11Original post

http://www.autowerkenorwich.co.uk/pages/pricing/pricing.asp?model=10 autowerke's price list - £596.50 inc Vat, parts and labour plus they're great guys......(i'm a customer not part of the company!) ..... its where mines going for its clutch when it finally gives in :drive:

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

sorry cant name and shame as i run a business myself and would not take kindly too it, however they have lost my business again for the second time and i have had the work carried out while i have been on holiday at a different garage. i saved a fortune and they have sorted a few other bits out for me too. thanks guys

POST 13Original post

...and any indi will do it for less than that and do a better job. Harsh...? I think not. I recently took my C2 3.6 to my local OPC for a four wheel alignment. Twice. The first time they set it up for a GT2 - which was nice of them but unfortunately completely the wrong car. Gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back there to get it re-done. Tried convincing myself that they'd "done it properly this time" over the following two weeks only to end up taking it to my local indi who stated that the O/S rear was over 1 degree out on camber and that the bolts to adjust the camber hadn't been moved for what looked like "a number of years..." This was a VERY awkward situation as this particular indi picks up all the four wheel alignments that the same OPC "...can't cope with". Seeing TWO twelve stone guys hanging off the wrench that was on the O/S bolts convinced me that something wasn't quite right and prompted me to ask the question about how long it'd been since the bolts had been moved. OPC: See: Criminals in suits. I know that some are better than others but they're all generally desperate for revenue and it just makes me feel so sorry for the average 911/Boxter owner who never visits site like this or who just don't know any better. You know what to do.
