    Shall be changing the clutch on the Arosa soon - tips?

    No worries, drives much nicer now. Just got a bit of a noise from the cam cover - its only done 45k so seems a bit strange. Possibly a tensioner or idler? Whats the cam belt interval?

    I did one on Saturday. Really easy, pop the rear wheel off and squeeze the pipe clips, push pipe in and then back out again. POP.

    All done and dusted including a full service, brake fluid and coolant change. Not bad for 6 hours work.

    Release bearings don't normally whine as far as I know. Since you had the gear oil changed - are you sure its topped up to the correct level?

    Shall be changing the clutch on the Arosa soon - tips?

    Have done a clutch on a Citroen AX a while back. We did it without removing the box itself, but just by splitting the engine and box - is this possible with the Arosa? I've misplaced the alignment tool - are they absolutely necessary? Also, are any of the bolts single use? Anything we...

    Arosa 1.0 clutch

    Hi all, My partner has an Arosa with around 40k on the clock. The clutch bite point has got quite high in recent months. Is it self adjusting or likely to be up for replacement? I have notice there is a rattle from the release bearing recently too so that can also be changed. Thanks.

    Im going to make a V5 Leon!

    Exactly, V5 150 is false economy.

    Im going to make a V5 Leon!

    Of course its up to you. But I'd rather have a 170bhp Toledo. Get rid of the Leon and do that, you will get a cheap nice Toledo, 170bhp and cheaper insurance.

    Funny how we both had a V5 and then went to a ZS. We must have similar tastes.
