Not what you expect from a brand new clutchโฆ
Kicking off the week we had this BMW 218d in with a noise from flywheel โ
This time a fwd version, quite similar to the mini, its well designed to take apart
Old clutch removed, we could see the bearing in the flywheel had collapsed ๐๐ป
New flywheel and clutch kit fitted โ
With the box back in, prior to putting the car back together, i wanted to check the clutch operationโฆ. Hard pedal โ
Looking back at the install pix, we seen the self adjusting clutch mechanism was fully extended ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ on a brand new clutch ๐
Gearbox back out, clutch off and onto the old flywheel, into the press we were able to reset the self adjusting mechanism to where it should have been on install โ
Gearbox back in and the clutch was perfect ๐ช๐ผ
Nothings straight forward with cars but when new parts are not up to par it makes for unnecessary delays to the workshop schedule ๐๐ป
