Flywheel Checks & Repairs

Clutch or Flywheel Problem?

Your clutch and flywheel work closely together, so it isn't always obvious which part is causing the problem.

You don't need to diagnose it yourself. If the car doesn't sound, feel or drive the way it normally does, bring it to Kylemore Motor Centre and let us take a look.

Things You May Notice

  • Difficulty changing gear
  • Changes in how the clutch feels
  • The car doesn't feel smooth when pulling away

Timing Belt Replacement

When Was Your Timing Belt Last Changed?

A timing belt may not always give you an obvious warning before it needs attention.

Replacement times can vary depending on the make, model, age and mileage of your car.

If you're not sure when yours was last changed, Kylemore Motor Centre can help you work out the next step.

Why Timing Belt Replacement Matters

Your timing belt plays an important part in keeping your engine running properly.

If it's due for replacement, putting the job off can potentially lead to much bigger engine problems.

The simplest approach is to check when it is due and plan the replacement before it becomes an issue.

Not Sure If Yours Is Due?

You don't need to know the technical details.

Give us your car registration and we'll help you establish what applies to your vehicle.
