Hi Guys
I'm new to all of this and would like to her from others regarding what appears to be an issue with the clutch of my 6 MPS. The car is stock standard - no modifications and until this week ran beautifully.
The car was purchased new three and a half years ago from a dealer and has been serviced on a regualr basis. On Wednesday this week the clutch appera to have gone to god after only 46.5 k km. I can drive it but can't move the gear sick if the revs are above 2000 to 2500 rpm.
I called the dealer and asked that it be booked in to be repaired, they can't look at the car until mid next week. As result I called a couple of mechanics who gve me quotes of around $4.5k for genuine parts and labour and $3.5k for aftermarket.
I look forward to hearing from you experts regarding the matter.
- One - is it normal for a clutch to die so soon? - this has never happened to me with cars I have owned even after 100k km.
- Two - is it worht arguing with Mazda given that the car is out of warranty.
Regards
CCV
