2002 Peugeot 2.0 diesel clutch?

Anyone got any information on changing a clutch on a 2002 peugeot 2.0 diesel?.

Can the box be removed without messing with the subframe?.

How difficult is the job.

I`ve done ford,vauxhall,honda etc.,but never this car.

Thanks

I have a 2002 Pug 406hdi 110 estate and my youngest son (who is a mechanic) changed the clutch for me last month in his workshop after work hours and i kept him company. Auto data say about 8 hours to do the clutch i believe but he did it in 4.5hrs. To be honest, if you do not have professional garage facilities it will be quite a job. We had the car up on the ramp and had a hydraulic gearbox support stand which was a god send. You will have to remove the front sub frame (and the engine will have to be supported from above), drain the gear box and remove the drive shafts. If you are planning on doing this at home with the car up on standard ramps it will be a lot of work and hassle! Remember we were working with full garage workshop facilities including air tools, 4 poster ramp, hydraulic gearbox stand, engine support bar etc. Just a point, the clutch operation is pull out not the more normal push in.



If the cars clutch is not actually slipping and you are planning the change because the clutch pedal is not taking up drive until near the top of the stroke, before you start dismantling anything, bleed the clutch! You might be lucky and find that you do not need a new clutch after all !.

Depends on what model. I done a 307 and it took my absolutely hours on end with the hammer, chisel and grinder. the sub-frame did have to be dropped and there was a few security bolts.
