Cluch Slip / Slurry on the up changes

[MKoop]

Is there any paper work about the 1.1mm miminium wear limit on net? The warranty man has never heard about it before. He is standing firm & won't give in, he keeps saying it's a wear & tear item:banghead:

You need to keep pushing. IF the clutch is above worn out limit why is it slipping? It must be the fault of the Clutch mechanism

It shouldnt so tell them the clutch isnt worn out, its a fault.

Go down there and measure it yourself.

I would if I could, it's about a 3hr drive:bigcry: He sent me on the pics of it.
He measured the clutch and it's 1.2mm thick which is above the worn out limit, but still won't cover it. Pissed off is an understatement!

Just off the phone with the warranty adviser and it looks like I will have to pay the full amount. The guy says the warranty doesn't cover clutch facings.

I got him to measure it and he rang me back saying that it is 1.2mm but it won't be covered because it is worn out. It's the original clutch.

Take a look at this

If I were youni wousl challenge the wear limit, check their measurements and then argue.

Ifmit gets escalated to BMW Uk the chances are they will offer good will, ie free part and half labour (you then get 2 year warranty)

My first at 45k miles wasn't worn at all according to Bmw

I'd go and have a look myself. Arrive un-announced of course.

Had mine changed at near 50,000 miles under warranty. Hardly any wear at all. It's unusual for them to wear as much as they are saying.

No good sending me the pics, just get them to confirm what the starting thickness is and also the end thickness and ask them to show you when you arrive.

I suppose 60k on one clutch for a manual is high but on SMG wear should be minimal unless slipping

Are you sure this is first clutch? Ask them to look at history

Shimmy, the car has covered 58k. The guy is emailing me on pictures of the clutch. If you pm me your email address I will forward them to you. He said that the clutches are 1.8mm new. I taught they were 2mm new??

Booked my car into BMW this morning to remove my clutch due to clutch slip. I was hoping that it was above 1.1mm to have it replaced under warranty but just got a call saying that it is worn out:banghead: Not going to be cheap. Should I change the flywheel as well??

What mileage has the clutch done?

I personally would doubt it has worn and if I has it's probably because of the continuous slipping caused by the adhustor

Worded badly, just meant you won't be given warranty at the lower rate BUT also if they find out you renewed monthly at lower rate but later their records say you were above 60k miles, they can void your policy just when you need it

Ahh right thanks mate, my warranty is due March with mileage probably on 49k by then, think now is as good a time as any to go monthly

[shimmy]

LOL What do you mean you won't get warranty when you renew at lower rate?
