Not what you expect from a brand new clutch…

Kicking off the week we had this BMW 218d in with a noise from flywheel ❌

This time a fwd version, quite similar to the mini, its well designed to take apart

Old clutch removed, we could see the bearing in the flywheel had collapsed 👎🏻

New flywheel and clutch kit fitted ✅

With the box back in, prior to putting the car back together, i wanted to check the clutch operation…. Hard pedal ❌

Looking back at the install pix, we seen the self adjusting clutch mechanism was fully extended 🤦🏻‍♂️ on a brand new clutch 🙄

Gearbox back out, clutch off and onto the old flywheel, into the press we were able to reset the self adjusting mechanism to where it should have been on install ✅

Gearbox back in and the clutch was perfect 💪🏼

Nothings straight forward with cars but when new parts are not up to par it makes for unnecessary delays to the workshop schedule 👎🏻

What better way to bed a new clutch in…

What a week 😮‍💨 we had this lovely E89 Z4 20i in for a new clutch kit ✅

Have to say, clutches on manual BMW’s are a firm favourite to do 💪🏼

Whilst here, the customer opted for some new brake pads ✅

But then also opting for a tune…

Standard, these left the factory around 184bhp 270nm

Onto the dyno, we set about bedding the clutch in the carried out initial dyno runs…

Making pretty much bang on power at 184bhp

The 20i and 28i use the same hardware so theres huge gains to be unlocked from just software

After tuning, this made 293bhp 394nm 🤩

Gains of 109bhp just from software 😮‍💨 what a transformation in how it drives! Super smooth but a mega kick in the back now ✅
