Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107/Citroen C1 Clutch change

[@IDPTheory]

Thank you for helping me confirm that I should never attempt this myself 😁

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

No problem glad to help, at the very least you have an idea of what work the repair bill pays for.

[@vlratcliffe1]

Hi your dam right when I seen it's quite and easy job to do I thought. Mmmmmmm ok I'll do mine (as its booked in tomorrow to have this done ) so he says it's easy take this out take that out remove this empty that take that off remove that whoooo wwhhhoo stop you said it was easy taken most the car apart nope it's still booked in for the garage to do . Its £250 I can do without end up scrapping the car over . .. Thanks for the vid tho

[@johnconroy3078]

Exactly 😂 And it did show me just what is involved and that, more than likely, the one on the children’s C1 (yep, younger drivers 😐) will need replacing at the next service.

Invece a me ha fatto l' effetto contrario, guarderò ancora il video, per farlo da me 😅

[@mohfat5291]

Thanks alot! it helped me replace the clutch of my 2013 aygo with the semi-automatic transmission (mmt) with no experience what so ever. It took me multiple days, working 2-3 hours a day. Things you need to consider as a beginner: - If you're not planning to do other diy stuff to the car, you don't have any tools and want the cheapest option ... sending it to a workshop maybe the best option because it's almost the same price as the tools and is less pain. - Invest in good tools (ratchet wrenches are a musthave). - If it has been a long time that someone worked on your car, consider buying anti-rust spray. It will help with the rusty stuck nuts and bolts. - You don't have to remove the axle shafts entirely. Just remove them from the transmission side. For semi automatic transmission: - You need to put clutch actuator module to clamp position before proceeding to change the clutch (important! Google 'clap mode toyota mmt' and you'll find the documentation). - Doing the upper transmission bolts from above (engine bay) is easier. For that you have to remove the battery tray and the clutch actuator. - When reinstalling the clutch actuator back make sure it's in the most left position (towards the engine) to avoid any troubles reinitiating the clutch actuator and resetting the tcu.

Just got an Aygo that needs New Clutch. Like the style of your video with clear camera work and great instructions. I especially appreciate the nut and bolt sizes given on screen. From a very competent DIYer. Well done and thanks very much for the effort you went too.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks for the comment, glad that you like the style of video it take a bit longer to edit together but i feel it makes it more concise and easier to follow. Best of luck with your clutch repair.

[@bobo3034]

Brilliant video and very helpful for anyone wanting to replace the clutch. 30 years ago I used to be a mechanic on trucks, but no way would I attempt to undergo this job. Very little room for my big hands 😅😊. Many thanks.

[@BigBadLoneWolf]

watch another vid, and the guy was forever blocking the view of what he was doing. this vid is great info and I will follow it when I replace my clutch. I was quoted £550 for the job, and I know they use QH parts, which I can get for £56. I might have to buy axle stands and an alignment tool , but even if I spend £100 on tools and parts, I will still save £450. last car clutch I did was 30 years ago

[@JAYG6390]

Wow, that second bolt for the gear linkages is tough to remove! Surprised you even managed to get a picture of it. Only got three cuts getting it out 😂😂

[@vrsjah8870]

I have change my clutch over the last weekend. I was expecting i t to be much easier - because of the engine size. I had couple of problems and couple of tools I had to go and buy when I needed them. Gearbox grew together to engine and it took 2 crowbars and alot of force to separete it. Summary: It took longer than expected (a car lift would be handy) as axle jacks are a bit low. Video is well detailed and got everything you need to get it done.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Great to hear you got your car running again.

[@hithere8699]

Great Video, what a lot fo work just to change a clutch. I did one on as Astra GSI many moons ago, it was dead simlpe compared to this.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there Was that the generation of astra that the clutch could be changed on without removing the gearbox? They sound quite interesting id be interested to see one of those to see how it worked, and why they stopped using that system. What way did the original mini or other BL sump in gearbox cars work. This method on the aygo it just seems to be the norm for most transverse arrangements. While it seems a lot its not the worst either.

[@hithere8699]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV, your spot on, there was a panel you could remove between th gearbox and engine and you accees it fairly easily. Bit fiddly but nothing compared to this clutch change. I wonder why they didnt do this for all 0 certainly make life easier for a consumable part.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@hithere8699 With the panel removed how did the input shaft work, did it slide or move out of the way to be able to get the clutch out. Certainly sounds quite interesting.

[@hithere8699]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV It was around 30 yrs ago, so cant rememebr, all i do remeber was it was a right old fiddle (but not a mass of work like this job), it seem to come out quite easily, but rememebr struggling to get it back in, having to move stuff (maybe the cable connection) and then line it up, I spent hours on it to no avail, had a tea/cigarette break and when I went back at it, it all sliped togeather quite nicely. Back then (not now) knowing what I knew after, the next astra clucth would have been a quick. All lost to time and the ageing grey matter

Couldn't ask for more detail !! just shows the DIY man with some patients how its done! 😀😀

[@vlratcliffe1]

My car is in for this it's done 136.000 on original clutch . Now my son learning time to put a new one in

[@onepalproductions]

I had the same problem with 36k mls, it had started to slip, and the biting point was right at the end of the pedal. Once discovering the clutch in these is not self adjusting, I adjusted the cable, lowered the biting point, problem solved completely.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Happy days, yes they are quite rudimentary in how the clutch works. Funny to see a modern car that still has a cable operated clutch most are hydraulic but when it works i suppose it does a reasonable job.

No worries, hope at the very least you can see what is involved at the garage. To be honest ive done clutches in the past with less equipment but now i have it id never want to do it just on a driveway or in the garage. Its okay. Id say probably about £300 might be the going rate for a clutch replacement on these.

Hi could you make a list of tools required and brands you recommend, thanks.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi, its generally not something i do at the start of the video but i am aware some videos do discuss the tools used. In general i will try to remember what i used here Socket sets - 1/4" drive - 3/8" drive - 1/2" drive Teng tools are a good brand, its what i bought when i started out working on cars, still have them and they are really good sockets. Teng tools anything i like because my grandpa used to keep them on his farm and they were about 30 years old. I have since invested in the odd bit of snap on but thats unnecessary unless you really have thing for snap on tools. 1/2 breaker bar Impact wrench is a milwaukee M18 1/2 drive. Then it needs a set of impact rated sockets to deal with the forces the gun generates. The clutch alignment set is a sealey www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165090204252?chn=ps&_ul=GB&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1Cwv8A8SISbSLjbbqXA-PUw37&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=165090204252&targetid=1647205088760&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1007279&poi=&campaignid=21403661452&mkgroupid=169430694408&rlsatarget=pla-1647205088760&abcId=9448289&merchantid=101468493&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_Lr1eyBMg1HY5yvMheT2QyyUcOE&gclid=CjwKCAjwhvi0BhA4EiwAX25ujwzraqsbhVlefyDuk1y5Lqwr8O0X2I6ZAGG0q1kapNxns0MHRX6DbRoCQy4QAvD_BwE Pry Bars - i think what i have are either draper or parkside Screwdrivers - mostly teng tools Pliers - mostly teng tools although also some lidl parkside stuff which is surprisingly good Axle stands are a non descript brand my motor factors sell Oil drain pan Jack - Halfords do a good floor jack with a foot operated lift function which is worth looking at. The engine cross brace The lower arm puller is a tool i made based off what i could see in videos of a laser branded one, but a bit of solid round bar or box section might suffice. Thats a very haphazard list of what tools i could see quickly skimming back through this video, if there are any tools you want to know specifics about or a bit of a review feel free to ask away ill try and help.

Great video as always. What brand of long spanners did you use to loosen/tighten those bottom ball joint nuts? I’ve been after a good brand of long spanners for ages!

Thanks for the comment! The long spanners i use are actually just a set of cheap neilsen ones search ebay for “aviation spanners” this set cost me about £30 a few years back. They may not be from a reputable brand but they work well and don’t really give much trouble. Great for auxiliary belt tensioners on front wheel drive cars.

Hi there, to be honest i am not too familiar with the 107 automatics, is it an electronic beeping sound or something more mechanical. Not too sure to be honest. Best bet would be to get a video onto the 107/c1/aygo owners club and ask there. I have not driven or worked on an automatic version of these cars so cant provide much more help than that.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV So here we are. I counted a LUK clutch kit for my issue. Today I inspected with expertise (with another person pushing the clutch pedal) the clutch release lever and as I saw now in your very well edited video is half rusted cooked. This part is not common to snap but I saw in forum that can fail ( c1oc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4934 link here). I'm planning to change this spare part also, and with that the fork too, as well not common but there have been a case of fracture. (140 € for the lever and about 100 € for the fork! damn!). If I'm going to do this I will before treat the lever with an anti rust spray like Zync one or similar valid alternative. Please peugeotCitroen2CV your opinion about the topic means a lot for me. What do you think about that? Feel free to say anything. Wish you all good work.

Hi There, just had my clutch replaced on a 2009 Peugeot 107. There's about 4-5cm of freeplay now but biting point much lower now as it should be. How do I adjust out the freeplay? I know to adjust a worn clutch you turn the adjustment wheel towards the battery to lower the biting point but if I go the other way do I risk lowering the clutch biting point too much? Is it a problem to have a bit too much freeplay in a new clutch?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there, there is a couple of nuts on the cable. You can slacken or loosen the cable to suit. Never went as far as to measure for free-play. More so a bit of trial and error to get it sitting how the owner was happy with the feel of the pedal.

Hello are you based in the UK if so where about? Do you have a Garage? I have a 2006 Aygo semi auto, don’t know if it’s the gearbox problem, when taking it to Reverse it takes few seconds and makes two Beep noise and sometimes the car jerks, any idea anyone?

Hi, i am based in northern ireland. What is my garage is actually an old mushroom house. I dont do this work full time, its a bit of a hobby on the side. Semi auto, i am afraid i would not know a great deal on the automatic aygos. Best place to head would be the owners clubs for these. Speaking generally it could be sticky valves in the valve body, although i dont know the exact process on how to flush the fluid and refill on on those gearboxes. Hopefully this will begin your research, let me know how you get on.

Does it matter if car is in gear when doing this ?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Not really, you will be working around the gear linkage cables at some stage anyhow so its not an issue. There is nothing to be 'timed back up' as long as each respective gear linkage cable is put back in the correct place (there is only two and its hard to get them wrong due to their different shapes) it should cause no issues.

Read about using a Yaris clutch in an aygo, any thoughts?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Im not too ‘au fait’ with what other parts will work, as toyota would not be what i work on often. If its the 3 pot yaris engine I wouldn’t be surprised if they used the same clutch and gearbox, might be slightly uprated with different ratios. Owners clubs/forums the best place to ask. The standard aygo clutch is probably okay but its just that most get used by learner drivers that they suffer a bit more

Dude, you a perfectly functional lift, why not invest in a transmission jack so you don’t need to lie on the floor with a transmission on your stomach…?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

At the time i made this video i did not have an engine support brace. The weight of the engine was supported by the floor jack that appears at 15:40, at this height there was not enough room to use the transmission jack which at its lowest setting would go to about 800mm. I know there are floor jacks with transmission adaptors but for a car this small it was just as handy to crawl under and remove it by hand, not the heaviest gearbox there is and i am not particularly strong.
