Not what you expect from a brand new clutchโ€ฆ

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

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 ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป

New flywheel and clutch kit fitted โœ…

With the box back in, prior to putting the car back together, i wanted to check the clutch operationโ€ฆ. Hard pedal โŒ

Looking back at the install pix, we seen the self adjusting clutch mechanism was fully extended ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ on a brand new clutch ๐Ÿ™„

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 โœ…

Gearbox back in and the clutch was perfect ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Nothings straight forward with cars but when new parts are not up to par it makes for unnecessary delays to the workshop schedule ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป

What better way to bed a new clutch inโ€ฆ

What a week ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ we had this lovely E89 Z4 20i in for a new clutch kit โœ…

Have to say, clutches on manual BMWโ€™s are a firm favourite to do ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Whilst here, the customer opted for some new brake pads โœ…

But then also opting for a tuneโ€ฆ

Standard, these left the factory around 184bhp 270nm

Onto the dyno, we set about bedding the clutch in the carried out initial dyno runsโ€ฆ

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 ๐Ÿคฉ

Gains of 109bhp just from software ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ what a transformation in how it drives! Super smooth but a mega kick in the back now โœ…
