Your clutch maintains the connection between your gearbox and your engine. When you depress the clutch pedal, two metal plates come apart and separate the engine from the drive wheels, allowing you to change gear. Bringing the pedal back up re-engages the plates and reconnects the engine to the drive wheels.
Any problems with your clutch can lead to a lack of control while driving. If you notice this, you should book a clutch replacement as soon as possible. Otherwise, your car will be at an increased accident risk.
Citroën is a major French automobile manufacturer and has been part of the PSA Peugeot Citroen group since 1976. Founded in 1919 by French industrialist André-Gustave Citroën, within eight years Citroën had become Europe’s largest car manufacturer and the 4th largest in the world.
Citroën also produced Europe’s first completely steel-bodied car, all the way back in 1924. Ten years later, Citroën introduced further innovation to the world of automobiles with the Traction Avant, the world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive car, and one of the first cars with no chassis frame holding the mechanical components.
The C1 was marketed from 2005 up until January of 2022. It is essentially the same car as the Peugeot 107 – the differences being its front bumper fascia and its front and rear lights. In its seventeen years of production, almost 1.2 million cars were produced, proving it as the trusty family-friendly city car it aimed to be.
Your clutch is an incredibly essential part of your car. It is made up of various parts that work in unison to allow your car to drive. Every car has a clutch, even automatic models – it works on a computer rather than a pedal. Without it, your Citroën C1 wouldn’t be able to run. Therefore, it is incredibly important to book a Citroën C1 clutch replacement as soon as you need one.

A clutches life expectancy differs from car to car. The clutch on your Citroën C1 will need replacing anywhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles. Of course, this isn’t a hard rule – your driving behaviours will have an impact on your clutch’s lifespan.
Being stationary in heavy traffic day to day will have a strain on your clutch. If you live in a part of the country that is rather mountainous, you’ll find your clutch will need repairing sooner.
As you begin to approach 60,000 miles, pay attention to your car – is it making any unusual noises or sounds? Have you noticed any of these warning signs?:

The average time to complete a clutch replacement on a Citroën C1 is between 3 – 5 hours. Not only is it a big job, but due to its location being deep inside the engine, the mechanic replacing your clutch will have to remove various parts of the engine to replace it, then of course, build it back together again. Be prepared for your clutch replacement to take the best part of an afternoon.
During a clutch change, a mechanic will first inspect your clutch and gearbox condition. This helps them make sure the clutch is to blame before beginning an unnecessary repair. Then, they will unhook the battery and disconnect the clutch and/or hydraulic slave cylinder before stabilising the engine. Next, they will unbolt the pressure plate, check for any leaks and damage and then clean everything and replace as many parts as necessary. Once they have rebuilt the front end of your car, they will test the clutch to ensure they’ve fixed your problem.
The average price of a Citroën C1 clutch replacement completed using BookMyGarage is £511.
