Murketts & AST

[mattCSLnut]

Just came back from Murketts... Great Service as always :thumbs: Had my SMG checked and it appears it's already had all the updates last time the clutch assembly was done (under warranty) at the end of 2007 so there was no need for updates, in the end. However, I was informed that my clutch forgot what to do precisely in the CSL, so it had to be re-trained :smt017. I know it sound very strange but as per invoice... Check SMG status. re-teach clutch ... apparently this is quite common so if your SMG doesn't feel quite right, its worth having BMW re educate your clutch Grand total of £35.25 and my SMG does feel crisper & more responsive. Monday @ Bedford Autodrom is going to be a tough lesson for my clutch :hahaha:

Nice one Matt, it's certainly something I'll be speaking to Andy about, I think this 'clutch slur' is quite a common thing amongst us so worth looking into whilst they have my car!

Explain this slur exactly Shim, is it like delay or more like a slip?

happened to my first ckutch at 42k miles as well, it is just a slow engagement to the next gear, so the clutch engages but the revs dont die back to the new gear level as it is not fully engagd so the revs stay high for 2-3 times as long and slowly drop

so

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr click brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuummmmmmmm

instead of


brrrrrrrrrrrrrr click bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm

worse when you are at full chat and not there when you change up leisurely

Well... after the up coming TD on Monday I will know for 100% certain if my replacement, 2 year old clutch needs replacing. Seemed OK on the way home after the "re-teach" but then again A14 is packed to the full with SPECK cameras so it's no place to drive enthusiastically :whistle: Are U getting that done on "Good will" or under warranty ?

Thanks for that mate, I think it's safe to say I definately have a clutch slur then! and guess what, my car has just ticked over the 42k mark....

Same as if you pay excess on your warranty,your parts are coverd because you have paid towards them,if you dont pay excess then the parts are not coverd for 2 years,daft but true.:wink:
