Toyota Avensis - Replacement clutch - Swilly

Hi,

I have a Toyota Avensis 55 plate with 125k on the clock and original clutch !! Can someone point me at a way of determining which particular clutch is fitted to this car and what the likely costs of replacement are.

The clutch has been 'creaking' for a while now, but is still functioning ...

Thanks

Swilly

Toyota Avensis - Replacement clutch - V4 Heaven

Hi, I have its predecessor - a Toyota Carina 1997 with 164,000 on the clock. It too is still on its original clutch! Mine groans when you pull off - this is the thrust bearing. It has done this for the last 120,000 miles.

I'd ring a few garages for quotes (including a main dealer) then go with who you feel is best. A long guarantee on the replacement clutch should be reassuring. ie - short guarantee = cheap clutch.

Good luck!

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
