HDI clutch or XUD?

If XUD changing the bearing is a farce tbh, so easier to swap the lot, id personally change it, along with facing the flywheel, paddle clutchs a basturds to bed in at the best of times

HDi clutch Darren.


Ill have to take it apart and look at it. Its been in a standard HDi so shouldn't be too badly hot spotted.

Depends if the clutch has been slipping tbh, the one I took off ky HDi went straight in the bin as there was hot spots all over it. I had abused it for a few thousand miles though lol.

Obviously its down to money but surely it'll cost you more if you put it back together and then find you've gotta take it apart again and change it.

Hasn't been slipping at all. However against my better judgement I have bought a CG clutch kit. Uprated pressure plate, un sprung paddle drive plate and a new bearing for £225 posted.
