Attention: If there is no special device, then the clutch operation can be checked as follows: turn on the fifth gear, start the engine with the clutch pedal depressed. Give «gas» and release the clutch pedal. If the engine does not stall, this indicates clutch wear.
Checking the thickness of the clutch disc should be carried out according to the maintenance plan every 80 thousand km. km.
Raise and support the car, remove the lower casing (mudguard) engine.
Remove the clutch slave cylinder from the gearbox housing, for which unscrew the two bolts (arrows). Do not disconnect the hydraulic line.
Insert a gauge into the bore of the slave cylinder and push it in the direction shown by the white arrow.
Now determine the wear (thickness) on a scale (black arrow) on the side marked B+C. The clutch disc must be replaced when the red area is visible.
