Clutch failure

Problem:

The clutch is known for having premature wear.

Models affected:

Solution:

Fitting a replacement clutch is the recommended solution. It is recommended that you use a 190mm diameter clutch (which is used on the Toyota Yaris) rather than the 180mm one which is standard. These clutches seem to be lasting longer. You should also check the flywheel to make sure that this will comply with the newly fitted clutch. The video below shows how to replace the clutch:

Water leaks in footwells and boot area

Problem:

The Aygo is prone to water leaks in either the front footwells or the boot floor area. This is due to a problem with the door/hatch seals. If you have noticed that the footwells are wet or the floor of the boot is wet, then this is caused by leaks in the door/hatch seals.

Models affected:

Solution:

Fitting replacement seals will resolve the issue.

Airbag warning light

Problem:

You may have noticed that the airbag warning light has appeared on the dashboard. This is usually caused by a fault with the firing unit on one of the front airbags.

Models affected:

Solution:

You will need to have a diagnostic check to correctly identify whether it is the passengers or drivers airbag firing unit that is faulty. Once you have identified which one it is, you will need to fit a replacement striking unit to fix the problem.

Difficulty level

4

Loss of Steering

Problem:

The steering wheel isn’t working, so you can’t drive.

Models affected:

Solution:

If your car was built between September and October 2014, then this will be caused by a faulty steering column. While you can buy a replacement from our store, this can be a quite complex and challenging repair job. There are plenty of online guides that will take you through the process, so it’s worth having a look.
