Clutches | Bridgend Garage
A damaged, faulty or otherwise compromised clutch can prove a huge problem while driving
More than just a nuisance, clutch trouble can quickly worsen and lead to damage to the engine itself, becoming a very serious and costly issue to put right. So, if you have recognised a clutch performing sub-optimally, or if you have noticed any of the symptoms detailed further down this page, we urge you to pay a visit to Bridgend Garage in Stonehouse, just a short drive from Stroud and all surrounding villages and towns and close to Cheltenham and Gloucester.
Our trained mechanics can run diagnostics and recommend the right course of action, getting you back safely on the road with a vehicle restored to its former performance.
Signs That You May Be Experiencing Clutch Difficulties
Ultimately, any noticeable change in performance with your clutch is worth investigating but some of the most common symptoms of clutch trouble include:
- A spongy or sticking sensation when pressing the clutch
- The clutch vibrates when pressed
- You can hear a squeaking, screeching or grinding noise when pressing the clutch
- Acceleration is sub-par but the engine still revs
- A difficulty when trying to change gear
- Your clutch slips and causes loss of acceleration
As a progressive garage, we will often carry out diagnostics through the use of an ECU reader. These communicate with your vehicle’s onboard computer, allowing our trained technicians to quickly extract fault codes to get to the bottom of what is ailing your clutch or transmission.
Bridgend Garage is a particularly popular option for Audi and Volkswagen drivers in and around the areas of Stroud, Cheltenham and Gloucester. This is because we are genuine VW Audi Group specialists who have been focusing our attention on staying at the forefront of diagnostic and repair work since 1996, when we first opened our doors. So, if you want reassurance that the garage working on your faulty clutch has the right experience, you have it with Bridgend Garage.
