That's a great video, you can see how much labour is involved and why a main dealer charges so much. And you did it all with a smile and a few laughs, great!
Superb tutorial. The actual clutch replacement seems to be a really simple job, but getting to it seems to be where all the time and skill is. Thanks very much for putting all that together. It is much appreciated.
Nice job.I really enjoy your vid's.Nice and clean action and no time loosing with bla-blai I hope you continue upload these nice informative videos.All good.
Ronnie Coleman my clutch is very very firm is this a sign of a bad clutch, because my friend has the same polo as me and his clutch pressing it down is effortless
Great video! Have been looking everywhere for step by step instructions to change my clutch slave cylinder on my 2007 Jetta GLI Fahrenheit. Thanks so much for the time you took to make this video. Will be tearing mine apart as soon as my clutch kit comes in.
Hi guys. Ive done this 3 times now as wrong clutch was fitted. Easy way to remove and fit gearbox is with engine hoist. Took me about 4 and a half hour's start to finish. Great video's by the way
had a look at your vid before doing my clutch today on my 03 Bora..same job....I have a ramp and garage facilities and it was still a job..respect for you doing it on the floor,,,,please note there's two clutches on these, an LUK and Sachs unit..if you are not changing the flywheel like in the vid, you need to know which unit you require but obviously if you get a full kit including the flywheel, you'll be ok..the box is very heavy, do not attempt yourself without a gearbox jack..good luck
I am surprised by how clean th surface of the flywheel was. It is clean without burn marks. I wish mine looked like yours! Nice job! I am fitting my new clutch today. Car has been in pieces for some days...
You don’t need proper lifts, I did this today for mine, all I used was axle stands to hold car up then jack to hold engine, then wiggled transmission out, it was a bitch job but I did it on my own outside my house
@@jm4gaming886 and I give you props for doing that...after rebuilding my entire front end...I don’t have it in me to take this on...it definitely is fulfilling to pull it off...I just don’t see it in my future 😁
Great set of videos, you have a natural talent for this. I think Discovery Channel should get you to make a series of DIY films! ... I wish you had a MK5 R32 though :-).
im planning on getting a 2000 golf tdi going to do a garrett turbo stage 2 or 3 clutch and intake coils body kit rims all the sorts this will really help in the futer
Nice job.I really enjoy your vid's.Nice and clean action and no time loosing with bla-blai I hope you continue upload these nice informative videos.All good.
nice vid, enjoyable to watch. Not sure I will be trying it on my 1.9 tdi, it seems quite involved ha. its a step above anything I have done with cars before. but thanks none the less
Been following your video, really struggling to get the gearbox up and back in, 3 people around me trying to lift and get it on a jack its just not happing
I'm not sure if you know but should your tutorial work the same with a beetle. Some things looked a bit different looking in the engine but they still looked pretty similar (the car you worked on and my VW Beetle) because I thought you showed ow to replace this clutch really well and I want to use it if it will be useful for my car. The year of the car I have is a 1998.
Hello, I brought a clutch for my MK 5 golf 2006. I ended up buying 2 separate clutch and the 2 do not fit and when you try to close the box it is not closing so Can you help me out and tell me what's the problem please
Great video!! I'm working on a project with jetta engine. Replacing the old clutch system, I want to know what's the size of the bolt that is used to fit the pressure plate onto the flywheel. It would be great if you can help out
I have seen that you lubricate shaft clutch and the clutch disc is from LUK. in instruction the shaft should not be lubricate. wont be any problem with it?
and you teaching your son how to work on cars, Dad's of the year to you, here in USA most of kids are just into video games like 24\7 ,i have a 4 yeae old boy and already teaching him
Loose if you use specified torque? With locktite haven't you the risk to strip them next time you have to remove them? They are not big bolts I think they cannot bear a huge torque. Which color of locktite? Dry or wet? Thanks
Will every single thing from this video work on my GTI 1.8t golf?? I need to take out my engine from 1 car and the clutch from another, combine them and have a running motor
Top video man! been waiting for this for so long. Any ideas why my rear suspension/brakes creak when I lower my car once I have had it raised with a jack?
Hi My VW golf mk4 1.4 (1999) petrol. manual gear is hesitating when I release or press the gas pedal while driving in low speeds. Spark plugs, airfilter, petrol filter and oil are new and OK) the engine starts fast, car doesnt shake while parked or at startup. My clutch was replaced since 15 thousand km. It is high clutch though. someone said to me that maybe it needs to be lower (the function of the clutch starts when 3/4th of full press releasing) do you know what might be wrong?
My clutch is very firm and requires a bit of effort to press, is this a sign of a bad clutch, a friend of mine has the same polo and his clutch pedal is effortless to press down and it's like nothing
Hello, if i have my skoda octavia 2 remapped from 105 bhp to 140 bhp, what clutch do you recommend? Stage 1,2,3? PS, i have to change it as it's slippery. Cheers
Hi there i have a 53 plate VW Bora with a Dual Mass Clutch to my joy the clutch has just started slipping! can i change the clutch for a Solid Flywheel Clutch ? Thanks Graham
That's a great video, you can see how much labour is involved and why a main dealer charges so much. And you did it all with a smile and a few laughs, great!
Superb tutorial. The actual clutch replacement seems to be a really simple job, but getting to it seems to be where all the time and skill is. Thanks very much for putting all that together. It is much appreciated.
BMAC VAGS - you are the bees knees. really, your films are just brilliant, thank you so much!
Cheers for video, really good! Nice to see Barnet is official test zone for new lutches!
🤣 Glad you enjoyed it!
I came here to see if I needed a clutch alignment tool. 16mm socket? I gots those!
Lol same 👍
Very useful information especially for people who aren’t mechanical minded Thanks 🙏
Nice job.I really enjoy your vid's.Nice and clean action and no time loosing with bla-blai I hope you continue upload these nice informative videos.All good.

Dude, your videos are dope. I use them all the time on my 4. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for a great instructional video. Alone I succeeded after many hours replace clutch. All with the help of a jack, slings and stubbornness.
Love to hear this stuff
Its feels great to know that you can fix your car
+BMAC VAGS Thanks again 😎
Nice video bro, simple clear concise. Every video should be broke down like this video
Love watching your videos. Great info and gives me a lot of confidence I can tackle these things myself.👍👍👍
You can do it!

Great walkthrough... was about to have a go at this myself but after watching this.. I'll let the garage do it
very good job man props to you for doing it like a lot of people on the floor.
Thank you for watching
Swapping my automatic (junk) with a manual. First time doing one of these on a Mk4. Thanks for the video! I now have a good plan of action 🦑
I finally found a video that works for me thanks I'm gonna be replacing a clutch kit on one I picked up THANK YOU
looks like you guys had fun doing this job. well done.
I am surprised by how clean th surface of the flywheel was. It is clean without burn marks. I wish mine looked like yours! Nice job! I am fitting my new clutch today. Car has been in pieces for some days...
Great job!! Ending was hilarious 😂
Great compared to last video I just watched. Night a n day now I have a really good foothold on how to do. Thanks again

Thank you for taking the time to make this video . This was very Helpful !!!
THE BEST VIDEO ,THANK YOU.
Thanks for showing the process....and helping me make the decision that I'm never doing this...I'll just get rid of the car when the clutch fails!
It’s only worth doing yourself if you’re a proper car person who has all the tools and knowledge
@@jm4gaming886 I agree...def not for a regular garage do it yourselfer...need a shop with a lift and the proper supports...I’ll pass on this one.
You don’t need proper lifts, I did this today for mine, all I used was axle stands to hold car up then jack to hold engine, then wiggled transmission out, it was a bitch job but I did it on my own outside my house
And mine is a TT Quattro so there was a propshaft and a transfer box in the way which made it difficult to manoeuvre
@@jm4gaming886 and I give you props for doing that...after rebuilding my entire front end...I don’t have it in me to take this on...it definitely is fulfilling to pull it off...I just don’t see it in my future 😁
Excellent tutorial! Great work.
Really nice job thanks a lot ! I will try doing the same thing on my golf 4 1.4 tomorrow! Wish me luck :) !
Great set of videos, you have a natural talent for this. I think Discovery Channel should get you to make a series of DIY films! ... I wish you had a MK5 R32 though :-).

Did you have to replace a lot of o rings and seals? Stretch bolts?
why didn't you replace the input shaft seal... mine just started to leak... smells like gear fluid or differential fluid...
Been following your video, really struggling to get the gearbox up and back in, 3 people around me trying to lift and get it on a jack its just not happing
Mate i know this is old but did you do a vid on bleeding that valve? I just did my clutch and breaks finishing it off tomorrow 👍
What degreaser is it you used I’m going to attempt it
excellent video.Thanks so much!!
Working on a ‘14 Jetta SE (water pump AND clutch). Your videos are very helpful, but I have one question- was there a pilot bearing to replace?
I'm not sure if you know but should your tutorial work the same with a beetle. Some things looked a bit different looking in the engine but they still looked pretty similar (the car you worked on and my VW Beetle) because I thought you showed ow to replace this clutch really well and I want to use it if it will be useful for my car.

Espectacular. Saludos desde Argentina y espero mas videos para hacer el mantenimiento a mi bora 1.8T (jetta)

My one is the same unless I drag him out. Life is so much different today, they are much more lady than before.
Im stuck getting the transmission mounted to the engine i can get it to slide far in far enough for any bolts to start
did you follow the video?
what's the torque spec on the clutch allen bolts? also does the 16mm socket align the clutch correctly or should i use a tool?
I'm about to swap in a 02m into my wagon
5:30-5:40 use locktite the allen bolts can run lose some times!
Loose if you use specified torque? With locktite haven't you the risk to strip them next time you have to remove them? They are not big bolts I think they cannot bear a huge torque.
Which color of locktite? Dry or wet?

Good job.thanks for video.god bless you

Top video man! been waiting for this for so long. Any ideas why my rear suspension/brakes creak when I lower my car once I have had it raised with a jack?
how did you get the air out the system
Great tutorial!
Can I ask on your first clutch vid you used an impact wrench. Can I have details of that or link where to get it from?

Did ur clutch plate have a little play?? Because im doing my 1.8t but i notice that it has some play
The Best Vid....brilliant
Thanks for the video, it will be very helpful for my next project. Just one question, what kind of chuth do you use?????
Great job I'm about to start on 08 Skoda Octavia 1.4 petrol the same engine and gearbox thanks
My clutch is very firm and requires a bit of effort to press, is this a sign of a bad clutch, a friend of mine has the same polo and his clutch pedal is effortless to press down and it's like nothing
Respect due nicely explained , is the Mk5 golf the same to do ? Thanks keep up the good work
+BMAC VAGS Why do you use the engine support bar? Did you loosen any engine mounts? Is there a way to do this without needing to support the engine?
The gearboxhas a mount that supports the engine, otherwise it would be hanging on one mount like a dislocated shoulder.
Thank you for the beautiful video
Why do you clean off the anti-rusting agent? Is the clutch a sealed assembly?
Nils Guillermin you want a clean surface without any residue that could burn up and create a varnish
Hey man, thanks for the video. I just can't seem to center my clutch on my 1.4 Polo. What can I use? I do not have a centering tool.
At about 5.09 on the part 2 video he said use a 16mm socket to centre it?
Greats videos , thank you.
Hi I'm about to change my clutch would you say LUK is better than SACHS? many thanks.
They are both really good options tbh
@@BMACVAGS Thanks I got an LUK so far so good.
Hello, if i have my skoda octavia 2 remapped from 105 bhp to 140 bhp, what clutch do you recommend? Stage 1,2,3? PS, i have to change it as it's slippery. Cheers

Hi there i have a 53 plate VW Bora with a Dual Mass Clutch to my joy the clutch has just started slipping! can i change the clutch for a Solid Flywheel Clutch ?
Thanks
Graham
i would say yes on a petrol car
What about a diesel ?
Hey man, where'd you learn how to do all this stuff?
How long did it take 2do it
thank you guys. I fix my carrucha
Wonderful vid!!
What are symptoms of bad clutch? I have a b5 passat 1.9 tdi with 240 k on clock, its not fast as it used to be,should i consider replacement
+Mirko Nejašmić if your clutch pedal starts to recede then you need a new clutch
Mirko Nejašmić maybe your intake manifold is clogged from exhaust gas recirculation
verry good and nice video thanks brother...
Your transmission is the 02M 6 speed, right?
Nice job. I like it.
