Clutch replacement again!!!!!

2003 Peugeot 206 SW
Car: Peugeot 206
Year: 2003
Variant: SW
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
Hi!

I had my clutch replaced 2 years ago when it simply 'failed' after only 3 yrs and with very low mileage (I don't drive a lot). I am now having to replace the clutch again for exactly the same reason. This seems OUTRAGEOUS to me, as I am very easy on the car, I don't shift hard, and as I said previously - I do not drive the car very far on a daily basis. I said to the Peugeot 'Guy', "the fault must be in the make of the clutch/gears" - he said, "no, clutches only last a couple of years". I had a second hand 1985 mercedes 305sel that had the original clutch and it ran like new! I just need somebody to tell me me that the Peugeot 'Guy' is NOT being straight up with me... HELP!!! Thanks...

my company car is a 206 it has 160,000 miles and has only just had a clutch and that was because the gearbox output shaft tube was worn out the clutch was still ok.(9 years old)are you sure it wasnt the shaft as described above that failed.(common fault)
without looking at the old parts it would be imposiable to say but it should last 80 to 90 thousand normal town/country driving.

well in my opinion the clutch should outlast the car if used correctly ive got a 1989 rs turbo with the same clutch still in it from new not even had it replaced yet and still drives nice

the only way a clutch is worn out before its time, is if the driver leaves his foot covering the clutch as he drives, this leads to early replacement, or many very short journeys on major hills..... other than that change your mechanic
