We are replacing our clutch for the first time. 2001 Golf TDI 5sp with 679,000km. It still works but is getting a little noisey.
01 Golf 424,00 km
It s gonna be soon hopefully not too soon just doin the head !
Timing belt broke .
Same thing happened to me. I was driving and noticed a little slipping occasionally. Then one night she drove the car and got stuck out in the middle of nowhere after dark when the clutch gave out. When our mechanic replaced the clutch he said the same thing...almost no clutch material was left at all. He couldn't believe it.Careful there. My clutch was just starting to slip then I lent it to my wife for a few days. Long story short, when I pulled the transmission, there was 0 clutch material left.
So basically, don't lend your car to my wife.
Seriously, I mean, it can be surprising how quickly they can go.
