My 96 300 tdi has started slipping its clutch when accelerating hard up hills, 2 questions how long have I got before it dies altogether and 2 how much roughly is it for a replacement fitted?

Not very long.......if you can drive it gentle you might get a week or 2...........most garages have much different price ranges........pm me if you want a quote :wink:

or if you want a cheaper way do it your self like im doing y pay a mechanic to do something that you can do your self it is quite difficult and heavy but im doing ok im not having a go at all mechanics but some times i do think they charge alot of money for some things like mr clutch in bristol my mate put his in there and i think it was about £400 he will correct me if im wrong but thats a lot of money

i managed to drop out the box change the clutch and swap the box for a good second hand one in a day. did it on the drive with a engine crane through the door, and some help from a mate. I did it as id been charged £316 for changing a clutch for 2 years befor, id go for a day doing it my self again if mine gose on my new truck. And it cost about £90 oem cluch, both parts, and do the fork while your in there.
