I am on my third clutch in my 146 ti. 176,000 miles and still going
strong so no complaints. On both occasions the clutch failure was preceded by a rushing noise when the clutch pedal was depressed. In both cases it was the thrust bearing which was wearing. I was advised that if the feel of the clutch pedal is not changing then you should be OK but any change and you should replace the clutch. I ignored this advice the second time and suffered a complete failure (the clutch would not disengage - scary in town traffic). On both occasions I paid about £400, mostly labour. Apparently the 2.0l twinspark is a sh*t of a job. I don't know about the 1.6 (boxer?).
