Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Funny, the clutch was only replaced last year, and the car isn't driven on a daily basis.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The x51 is going into my 2002C4 Convertible. The mechanic has told me that in order to take advantage of the increased performance the engine software has to re-programmed. Furthermore, he also recommended installing a heavier duty clutch. What do you folks think?

POST 2Original post

you definitely need the x-51 program for your ecu... stock clutch is fine... unless your is worn out? you don't need to do another clutch here... your mechanic is probably suggesting it because its easy to get at cause the engine will be out....

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes your right, Pete. The clutch has a couple of burned spots. Funny, the clutch was only replaced last year, and the car isn't driven on a daily basis. Indeed, the only cost is the parts and not the labor since as you have pointed out, the whole entire set up is apart.

POST 4Original post

how did u burn out a clutch in a year? !!! where you drag racing?
