I know I've already commented but today one of my good customers broke down their flywheel broke up they have a 1.7 cdti Astra j, both my ramps are tied up with major jobs but because of your video I did it in the doorway of the workshop! I normally always drop the entire subfrsme complete with steering rack, the time you saved me today was unbelievable! Just wanted to say thanks! I don't think I'll ever drop a vauxhall subframe again was amazed at the room you get I had enough room to gain about a foot of access and I always used pressure bleeding kit even tho it worries me but again today I didn't And managed to do it with no assistance to lift out gearbox etc Keep up the good work love the videos Thanks
Man after my own heart, impact gun and swivel sockets for the win 😂😂. Seriously I work at a Vauxhall main dealer and have done for 15 years and we still have guys that couldn’t do these jobs on a ramp. Let alone on the floor. Well done fella keep it up 👍🏻
I am speechless. For far the best video from TH-cam. I was myself a mechanic for 10 years and I know how hard is to crawl under the cars find the right position to be sure you are doing a good job. Your work is an amazing job, clean but man what drives me crazy, how the hell did you managed to get the camera in those narrow spaces? I've tried sometimes to get a picture or video but I never managed to get that clear like your video. Even lots of TH-camrs don't have clear videos like yours. All my respect for your work. I don't know how much do you charge but obviously you deserve every penny. And thank you for your video. 👍
typical weather eh? been there done that, i did a clutch on some ones drive, got soaked thru and wished I'd never started, by contrast did a cylinder head job on my car a year or so back, it was the middle of summer the job was an absolute pleasure to do, everything just went according to plan. Good weather just makes sooo much difference, great work, great video, thanks
I subbed a couple of weeks ago and think this is the first comment I've made? Just to say what great work you do and the videos you post are very detailed, i'm more confident thinking about doing my car's clutch going forward now because of your channel. I've just fixed my clutch by replacing the master and slave cylinder's, after being quoted £600 for a new clutch, which i knew wasn't the problem, it cost me £60 for the two parts! Thanks for the insight and keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for your input on our forum. It’s great for you to share .,. That’s one of the main reason I do the videos so anyone with some tools and a bit of help can take on the replacement as it does cost a bit getting it done. thanks again for subscribing

I’m looking into one of them canopy that can be mounted to the van .., I’ve tried with the gazebo. I keep having to chase it down the road from the wind. ... But I’ve got good waterproofs.
@Kevin-Albert Williams on 2.0CDTi is it possible to install clutch and pressure plate from Twin Turbo diesel to reduce possibility of slipping on mapped engine? Is it a part that fits one to one ? Or have they used the same part on both engines without any change?
Great video mate. Not one detail left out. You reckon a scrap part flywheel can be used along with a new clutch?. Got the dreaded flywheel rattle on my astra j gtc.
Believe it or not. That DMF has only covered 48.5k miles. A bit of a let down on that original part. Notice the clutch I fitted. It’s a heavy duty self adjusting pressure plate. It partly takes the torque from that 2.0L engine... mind you this is a VXR engine and gearbox.
Hey man, I'm from London and got a similar situation for clutch potentially with master cylinder change required on 2015 Astra J with 1.6 CDTI engine LE line. Is it the same as this 2.0 CDTI on the video? I'm assuming LUK is the best option !
Watched a few of your videos now. Absolute master! Did a Ford C Max 1.6 TDCi clutch based off your Ford Focus one with the same engine. Do you remember where you got that long bar for prying the lower ball joints off?
i remember you posted saying most of your tools was sealey premier, given you use them day in day out im curious as to weather you have to warranty any of there tools? i see alot of stuff on forums and youtube slating both sealey and the premier stuff as been no good apart from DIY weekend usage.
I can only speak from my personal view. I have had them sealey pro tools in the back of 4 vans over an 8 year period. I’ve set them in a snap on tools box. I only maintain them with WD40 every so often. I think it’s down to how you use the tools rather than the brand.
Do you let the subframe down a little to allow space for gear box when you’re removing it because I can’t get my gearbox to sit on the subframe like you have done ….?
Kevin 2012 kia sportage 2.0crdi awd clutch and flywheel do u ever come across one to do? Debating on weather to do mine or not myself.. Thanks.. Take care chum. :)
4 hours is good going when I do it takes me like 9 to 12 hours just with just spanners pain when you get to a bolt that take half hour to get out as it's in tight spot

Nice work! Is the Luk clutch kit reliable? Didn't the customer have any problems with the clutch? Thank you
They’re ok.
@@WMCS This weekend I changed the clutch kit on my Astra. But the pedal got too low and it's kind of hard. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
The actuator that comes in the kit is also from Luk. Is that the problem? Do you think I should swap it out for a Fte as sourced?
Bravo clutches warrior 👍🏽✨
Still waiting to see a video of you doing a clutch on a vw t4
Ooo the dreaded T4... I tend to stay away from it nowadays. 😁😂😂
Did I miss the gearbox oil refil?
I would have forgotten where all the bolts go 🤣

How do you go on in bad weather especially when it's raining constantly
I shut the bonnet and carry on... I’ve got some great waterproof gear...
Nice quality filming 👍🏼
Great video how heavy is the transmission
I’d say it’s about 60kg thereabouts.
Watched a few of your videos now. Absolute master!
Did a Ford C Max 1.6 TDCi clutch based off your Ford Focus one with the same engine.
Do you remember where you got that long bar for prying the lower ball joints off?
I had it cut from my local engineering shop. It’s a solid stainless steel bar.
@@WMCS It's a nice bar.
Great Work Ethics , Tidy Job Well Done
Will be great to see a 1.7 cdti sometime!
Will try and get a video of one ✨✨
I've just done my 1.7cdti pretty much the same as this motor, the dmf is different but has the same slave bearing.
Awesome job again

just wondered if you know das cam where does red wire go to in the fuse number on Astra H ignition?
Nice, clean and tidy
isn't that impact wrench brilliant certainly get the jobs done
I always thought you had to remove the subframe to remove the box!
You can even fully pull the box out without removing subframe.
@@WMCS got to do one tomorrow but its the gtc version. Hopefully I can do the same

how long real time to do this job great work as always
Depending on experience level.
Advanced -4 hours.
Mid-6 hours
Low- 10hours.
@@WMCS i guess your super advanced then
Do you let the subframe down a little to allow space for gear box when you’re removing it because I can’t get my gearbox to sit on the subframe like you have done ….?
That’s correct.
I guess the subframe has to come out if your replacing the box? Or do you think it would fit through the gap
I have done it before when replacing gearbox. But you have to work inches at a time and will need steering column detaching from the footwell.
What brand spline grease did you use mate?
Kevin, where did you get those interlocking mats from?
Either amazon or Halfords.. there’s two kind. The soft ones or the oil /water resistant ones.

hi i have been watchin your videos and you are good but could you tell me if you would fit a transmech clutch to a ford c max 2008
Nooo. Don’t fit transmech
Why was the clutch pedal stuck down after the final bleed? Or did you continue to bleed it?
Did you watch it fully. I left it on floor to go shut the bleed nipple.
@@WMCS I did yes . It then looked like you had to pull the pedal back up?
Nice job 👍✌️😁

Pour la purge de la buté tu fait pareil sur tout les modèles ?
Oui cest La meme procedure
@@WMCS OK merci tu travail très bien continue 👌
what was that fluid you took out at at beginning ? transmission or clutch fluid
It’s gearbox oil. Clutch itself doesn’t have fluid. Unless it’s a PDK automatic gearbox.
@@WMCS cheers , il be attempting clutch change first time...thanks for detailed uploads
How long does it take you to fit a clutch
On this particular repair about 4 hours.
4 hours is good going when I do it takes me like 9 to 12 hours just with just spanners pain when you get to a bolt that take half hour to get out as it's in tight spot
Well done
And the manufacturer always prescribes a torque wrench. It's much faster that way. Well done. But I'd rather have my car repaired in another workshop.
