Default How far are you on original clutch?

Don't answer if you believe in tempting fate...!

My ZT CDTI is now on 129,000 and is still the original clutch and slave.

I'm waiting for it to fail, and have been for the last 20k!

So, how far are you...?

Mine was still working nicely when replaced at 120000miles due to an engine swap.

They seem to last to 100K and then anything else is a bonus - I gather a fair bit of data from order notes left when customers order clutches (enthusiasts tend to like leaving details in notes, which is good).

I'd say an average seems to be about 120K, below 100K is rare, as is above 150K.

Mine lasted 139,000 before it started slipping.
Failed after another thousand.
Replaced clutch, slave, master and DMF, so hopefully it'll be good for another five years or more.

My 02 Cdt is on 109,000 but the clutch disengages as soon as I push the peddle so I think it is probably going to start slipping soon. Not changed owt else and neither had previous owner.
