Not a GTI but my Honda Civic diesel, apparently its very common on the diesels
Well was in process of selling this, luckily didnt have anyone else find this in a viewing (id look a right tit then) but appeared this morning on way to work. Only in high gears at full throttle at low revs does it show but having researched it today and done some tests its the common fault with them there is even a service bulletin. Shame mine is now 73k and 2 months out of warranty :(
Anyway have contacted Honda and they do a new clutch inc fitting for £575 under Honda Happiness. I have booked it in for its 75k service and the new clutch on 15th November.
I am looking at trying to sell it in the meantime as a few GTI's have come up that im going to view and be nice to have the money towards them. I have dropped the price accordingly (from 7495 to 6500 no offers) to see if any interest in the meantime.
Is it worth doing this? Personallly if i was interested i might wait until work done and pay extra then again potentially someone with contacts or a mechanic etc who could cut the costs of fitting a new clutch may see it as a worthwhile deal?
Just gauging other peoples opinions - the only place id pay to advertise it is probably ebay, ive stuck it on PH and adtrader - but before paying for it to go on eBay would like any opinions if worth it.
thanks
