    Cool Clutch Assessment

    Hey all,

    New here, so please play nice

    Im rebuilding a 200Tdi 110 at the moment and I've just had the engine renewed and am at the stage of installing the clutch.

    I've had a clutch (only driven 1000km) on the shelf for a while and it's gathered dust and a bit of rust. The housing surface is relatively clean with some small scratches though I was wondering if I should replace the clutch assy.

    I'd rather not as I'm trying to save cost though, but how perfect does the housing surface need to be. I can't find a runout reading in the WSM, could anyone shed any light here?

    Thanks,
    Mr200Tdi

    Hi and welcome. So long as there is a smooth surface with no fingernail catching grooving on the pressure plate face or on the flywheel all should be good. Is the pressure plate same age as the plate? There should be no grooves on the fingers from the throwout bearing either. rust can be cleaned off the facings with steel wool and wd-40, just degrease them well afterwards before installing.'
    I would not think twice about using a 1000km old clutch assembly, Its still new! There is unlikely to be any warping either, unless it had been very hot! Unlikely in a 200!
    Cheers Scott
