Astra flywheel and clutch costs

[homerjay]

hi all

the wife has a 07 1.9 cdti astra and the dual mass flywheel has given up the ghost at 65k miles.

been quoted £840 to replace along with clutch and local indy.

really not what I need right before xmas and on a car, I was about to sell in the new year.

how cheap can push him?

cheers

Count your self lucky, my clutch and DMF failed, current quote to fix is £1400. Wouldn't be so bad but I paid £1400 to get it fixed about 2 years ago!

Seems like a decent enough price - Annoying this time of year, but thats DMFs for you - absoultely pointless and annoying bits of st

[andymc]

£650 is the best i would hope for

Saving 50 quid a year on VED and a few pence per mile on fuel will soon pay for the repair.

Seems fair, some clutches are quick to do, astra's aren't one of them. Subframe off job.

Well just got back from picking the wife up.

Damn clutch when pop so car is now stuck on a carpark.

Just got back from Cumbria yesterday so certainly got lucky there.

Will do a bit of shopping around in Monday but I can see us being a car short for at least a week now.

Cheers

If yours is the 16v with M32 box, you can get GM OEM parts from Neo Brothers on ebay for about £350, and bank on around £150 or so for a garage to fit them.

Not many garages will take a job on like that for that money, jeez.

As far as I am aware LUK are the only manufacturers of DMF. I recently changed one on a 17CDTi, parts cost was iro £500 and I'd want £200 to do another. Not a bad job but lots to remove. Change the slave cylinder (If you could even find anyone willing to do the job without changing it), it will save you paying twice for the job.

I would say it's about £200 labour

Whilst you've got the box out you might as well strip it and get the bearings done - a weak point on the M32 gearboxes fitted to these cars. What a ball ache - did mine on the driveway myself!

Bearings in a hell of a state.

That's what my invoice cost was! Maybe it's cheaper up north

If you buy LUK make sure it's new rather than european sourced re-con the big place which is blue and yellow sell those one's.........
