Hi,
I have a kia sportage 65 plate that has done 60k miles.
I have been driving the car quite regularly and had not noticed any issues with the clutch. However without warning i set off and the car jumped forward and stalled. After this i had to be towed to my kia garage and they said it was the clutch without even checking. This is fine but i have had to pay £1400 for clutch and flywheel replacement upfront as the parts are on back order. Is there any way i would be able to know if this is due to wear and tear and payable. If it is not wear and tear then the kia warranty covers this.
Also i am a careful driver and never ride the clutch if possible and i was thinking that 60k miles seems quite low for wear and tear. The way it went was like it collapsed.
Full kia service history
I would like to add that the cars gearbox has been out 2 times in the last 2 months to get the synchromesh replaced twice. I do not know if this would have any bearing on the clutch collapsing.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated and if i have left out any details that are needed i will add.
