Good Evening All,
I've noticed a post on the 1.6D Astra K Clutch issue so I thought I would give you the insider knowledge from a dealer. Yes, Vauxhall has an issue with the new Astra K 1.6 Diesel Clutch.
The Issue:
- You will one day find the clutch pedal is either stuck to the floor, returns very slowly or you are unable to engage or change gears.
The Cause:
- Pollution of the hydraulic clutch circuit.
The Solution:
- In case of a customer complaint, replace the clutch elbow and pipe of the clutch actuator cylinder according to the following working procedure. Get the car recovered to a dealership. They will need to perform Vauxhall Technical Bulletin BST4825 - TSB3286 Astra K Clutch Pedal.
It is a warranty concern and has nothing to do with driving style and is not the customer's fault.
We are keeping the parts in stock permanently at our dealership as we're seeing it every week. If you've got a 1.6 Diesel then please be aware it should be a relatively easy fix for any competent dealership workshop.
I hope this helps
