is it worth repairing?

[ather`s]

its the 8mm 12 pointed tool you want as im messing with drive shafts at the moment!!

 

[Cupra Kid]

Given ya revised list with all the body work needed................ i'd heap it!

 

[vngtx]

wonder if it would be worth ripping out the rest of the interior and selling it as a cheap track car?

 

[crezz]

if i come round and do a turd on your back seat, tell everybody that the owner of a RARE topaz blue ibiza done that ****, someone will buy the car then, no need to scrap

theres enough mess on the back seat already. im not entirely sure if it is just the clutch. it only slips at low revs and accelerating slowly, i boot it after 3000rpm and it doesnt slip at all. could be a warped clutch.

im gonna change gearbox oil when i do clutch. does anybody know which size 12 point tool it is for the driveshaft/boot bolts?

There's a Kiwi VR6 on Pistonheads.... go for that! lol

 

[vngtx]

should i buy standard clutch kit for 86 quid or go for LUK "sports" clutch kit for 160?

 

[suj]

STANDARD!!!!

you didn't want to spend money on it, now you're asking if you should buy a more expensive one? lol

 

[vngtx]

just i may be stuck with it for longer than i really want it. ive only had it 6 months and i killed the clutch with my driving.....

 

[vngtx]

ive still been driving and something tells me it isnt actually the clutch thats nackered. when i go uphill in 1st or 2nd it doesnt slip even when booting it. gearbox does sound a bit whiney at the minute but im gonna fill it up tomorrow morning and see if it helps.
possiblities left are:
. pressure plate is broken
. release bearing is buggered
. cable is sticking

getting a cheap clutch kit off ebay if filling gearbox doesnt fix it.

 

[Cupra Kid]

Release bearings are a favourite to fail on 90's VW clutches

 

[vngtx]

ive been thinking its most likely that as the clutch lever has hardly any resistance when i pull it up. yet the clutch is still heavy!

dont scrap a kiwi bud. keep it goin.....
