ADVICE WANTED on2014 xtr 1.6 air dream 6speed auto

[Iank]

You must work for Citroen

Have you ever done one ?
8 hrs labour approx at forum members rate of £40 per hour , normally I charge £50 ph.
I guess a quality clutch & flywheel + electronic thrust bearing will be @£350, couple of litres of gear oil, etc etc brings the cost to about £700 and then vat.
So explain how this can be done for significantly less please ?

I'm not cribbing your price just seems a lot of money when someone says 8 or 900 to Change a clutch

Hi guys, I'm in the process of buying a 2014 xtr 1.6 airdream 6speed auto with 35000 miles on clock
Any advice or pointers on what to look for would be a great help.

Hi,
I have a 2014 1.6 6 speed robot g/box, and I am well pleased with it. 
One thing you might bear in mind as it is a common fault and if you can get it done under warranty is good news. If you press and release the brake pedal you may hear a "CLANG".
 I dont know exactly what is involved because Citroen are a bit tight lipped about things like this, but they ordered a new brake pipe to run behind the engine and carried out a mod on the pedal. I had to bring the van in the night before as their technicians needed it to be stone cold before working in that area.
Hope this helps, and I hope you enjoy your Blingo as I do mine.

Richard

I was quoted 1100 to change the clutch on a citroen xantia last year by two different independent garages. Ended up a mate did it, i was still about 300 to buy all the parts and materials needed.
