CG clutch

[Frosty]

To be fair, I wouldnt expect a company to provide any backup if you didnt buy it new from them...I cant understand where your coming from, but at the end of the day, it really isnt there problem...You would just go bust if you started offering support and replacement items for people buying your items second hand... That's the premium you get for buying things brand new...warentee / support..

How close is the bit that touchs from not touching? As in, how much clearance do you need to make it ok? Quite likely just difference in castings would cause it if its just a mm or two...and tbh, alot of people would just fit it, and crank the motor, likely just makiong its own clearance! Altho if its more than a mm deffo not ideal given gear oil other side of that casting!

Hmmm yeah i can kind of see their point but the item was bought from them with 12 month warranty it said on the invoice. I can understand them maybe not covering the warranty as it was sold on but it doesn't even fit. I sent it back to them so they could try and see what is wrong as all i want is a clutch that fits. I would of been happy to pay for another pressure plate that will be the correct 1 but he said that the 1 i got is correct. Would the situation of been different if i got the lad i bought it off to ring CG and tell them the issue or maybe i should of just said i was the lad who bought it from them. We all live and learn. 

Its hard to say how much is touching but it does jam solid when turned over. It looks to be the rivet heads that are touching so poss grind them back but are the pressure plates balanced at all? I would say it was more lucky i didnt just fit it and start it up as it could of ended up with a hole in the gearbox. It was only down to luck i checked and noticed the issue

I ain't wanting to get in an argument with anyone it has just be very frustrating

isn't the issue here that they've mocked up on a DW10 but you're using an XUD box?

I'm fairly sure the BE4 casing has more clearance as the gti180 and the 2.0 HDI use larger clutches than any XU or XUD/BE3 combo.

As marks says using a hdi gearbox and have tried 2 different 1s

Bang a standard pressure plate with the cg friction plate. I seem to think they use a standard plate anyway.

If i do ever go to use thats what i think i will do. They say there pressure plates are uprated though. Higher clamping force.

Is it possible to buy just the friction plate from CG in that case ?

Yeah you can just buy the friction plate from them. Thats what i did for my xud and used a started valeo pressure plate.

Can but the pressure plates from them separate as well
