Let me clarify Architect...
Its unlikely that the clutch plate has worn out the way you are imagining. With all the clutch problems, my car did 100 @2.5k RPM. So, clutch plates are probably as good.
It seems to be something about the engaging and disengaging assembly. I don't know what all goes in there. (some hydraulic pumps etc.)
Today morning I went to Prerana motors again and they told me that they have cleaned and oiled some stuff. And they said, it was holding up some air.
Since some other rattling wasn't fixed, I did not pick it up. When I test drove, the clutch felt a bit different. So, I've agreed to take the car in the evening if it is ready.
My next service is due after another 2k Kms, so, I'll monitor this clutch for a while.
I've also logged a complaint at Fiat web site. Lets see how they respond.
Architect, for a change, why don't you drive a new car (TD car or something) and update us back. Since you are happy with it, I'd like see if some of us got a lime. |
