Fitting clutch ..what's the score

[maccavvy]

Clutch has started slipping. Going to get hold of a new one and fit over the bank holiday.
Anything to look out for ? Going for an LUK one.
Keeping the van. Fly is quiet and rattle free so leaving that alone

You need to look out if its a mk 6,7,or 8 if its rwd or fwd .I am guessing its a mk 8 fwd but there are grumpy old git's on here that will eat you without salt for not posting the model ,isnt that right Knobby

Sorry for the lack of info
Mk8 2.2 fwd 310 trend
97 k .
I've owned it 3 months was used as a mobile tyre fitter.
So I'd assume a mix or town and motorway

Cheers for that not to bad a mileage I think someone on hear had one go at 30000 mls and at the time said that he knew of some more .

It will be easier removing the box the second time as he will remember the things he forgot the first time

My MK7 rwd was still fine on the factory clutch at 320,000 miles. I drove it like I owned it and all motorway miles.

[Punto443]

My mk7 had 180000 on the original, and I drove it like I stole the fucher!
My mk6 had 106000 and had 4 clutches


Work that one out?

Up until now all my vans have done over 100000 never change one for slipping I can’t see the mk8 doing it it has slipped twice in reverse but if you try to make it slip it won’t it’s catch 22 as to change or not.
