cvt clutch kit?

Post by spike4073 »

ive been looking through the service history of my 340 dl 1.4 (cvt) and ive noticed that its never had a new clutch.... altho the clutch has no problems at the moment im thinking that it will need replacing before long.

my question is does anybody here know where i can get a clutch kit for this car?? as im having trouble finding one that can be fitted to a 340 1.4 with a cvt transmission as these are different,.

ant help appreciated

cheers :)

My vario is 31 years old, and still on its first clutch. The question is really, whether the clutch gap is adjusted correctly.

If you do need a new clutch though, try this thread for details. You'll also need new adjustment shims.
