FAQs
What vehicles is this Sachs clutch release bearing compatible with?
This bearing is designed for specific Peugeot 206 models (LHD Only, 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 engines from 1998 onwards) and Citroën Saxo VTS models (1996 to 2003). Always use the vehicle fitment tool to confirm compatibility with your exact vehicle.
What are the symptoms of a failing clutch release bearing?
Common symptoms include a rattling or chirping noise from the clutch pedal (especially when pressed), difficulty shifting gears, and a stiff or spongy clutch pedal feel.
Do I need to replace other clutch parts when changing the release bearing?
It is highly recommended to inspect and potentially replace the clutch disc, pressure plate, and pilot bearing at the same time, as the transmission will be removed. This can save on labor costs if these parts are also worn.
What is the 'KZAS-0' parameter?
KZAS-0 is a technical specification or parameter related to the design or function of this specific release bearing, often indicating its type or configuration within the Sachs catalog.
Where can I find the OEM part numbers this Sachs bearing cross-references?
OEM part numbers are listed in the product description. Compatible OEM references include CITROËN: 204150, 204164, 204177, C0000204160; FIAT: 9614677380, 9635856280; PEUGEOT: 204150, 204164, 204177.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, installing a clutch release bearing requires specialized knowledge and tools, typically involving transmission removal. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised for safety and correct operation.
What is the primary function of a clutch release bearing?
The clutch release bearing, also known as a throw-out bearing, transfers the force from the clutch linkage (lever or slave cylinder) to the pressure plate, disengaging the clutch so that gears can be changed.
Troubleshooting
Rattling or chirping noise from the clutch pedal
This often indicates a worn release bearing. Ensure the part is compatible and consider replacement. If the noise persists after replacement, check the clutch fork and associated components.
Difficulty shifting gears, especially into first or reverse
A malfunctioning release bearing can prevent full clutch disengagement. Verify the bearing and related hydraulic or mechanical components are functioning correctly. Check clutch fluid levels if hydraulic.
Clutch pedal feels unusually stiff or loose
While often related to the clutch master/slave cylinders or cable, a severely damaged release bearing could contribute. Inspect the entire clutch system for issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that this Sachs Clutch Release Bearing 3151 276 501 is compatible with your specific vehicle. Use the provided make, model, and year selection tool. If unsure, contact a parts specialist or mechanic for assistance. Cross-reference part numbers with your vehicle's existing component or dealership information.
Installation: This part is intended as a replacement for an existing clutch release bearing. Installation typically requires the removal of the transmission to access the clutch assembly. Due to the complexity and safety implications, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended. Ensure all related clutch components (clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and release fork) are inspected during the replacement process.
Care: Clutch release bearings are generally maintenance-free once installed. However, their longevity depends on proper usage of the clutch system. Avoid excessive 'riding' of the clutch pedal, resting your foot on the pedal while driving, or aggressive clutch use, as these can accelerate wear. Ensure the clutch hydraulics (if applicable) are free from leaks, as this can affect the release bearing's operation.
