VAG are honestly my favourite cars to work on..,, I’m pretty sure the engineers took into account it’s gonna end up in a workshop for maintenance..,, everything is well laid out.
I’m considering doing a Clutch Replacement myself on a Seat Leon 5F 1.6TDI which has the same block/gearbox. Can I ask how much the gearbox assembly weighs, before I give this a go? I am a little concerned some places suggest gearboxes can weigh in the region of 100KG, however being a 5-speed manual I’m hoping it’s closer to 50-60KG... If someone who has attempted this on a VAG 1.6TDI can please put my mind at rest Id really appreciate it 😊
Daniel.., Gearboxes are generally heavy lumps ... your vehicle’s one should be about 60KG... it’s always good to have an extra pair of hands for safety.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, and thank you for the excellent video. Will deffo be giving this a go! Kevin Albert-Williams you are the man!

Hi Kevin Brilliant work mate Think I need a clutch replacement on caddy 2015 1.6 tdi as getting vibration when I press clutch pedal whilst driving . Where about you based bud ? Kind regards Craig Williams
Well done , very well planned , and with good attention to the small details , doing stuff like dropping gear boxs on your own , can be soul destroying when you outside , working with limited space , muck dropping down your neck , getting cold and wet . Keep at it sir , hard work always pays off !
Hello! Nice work, congratulations! I would like to ask. Is the flywheel double in this passat? If I saw well the car with manually the gearbox is fitted. I have one too and I can't decide what kind of flywheel to buy ... :( Can you help? Thanks.
On the VAG engines DMF only starts from 1.9 onwards ., I don’t think you’ll need to replace the solid flywheel. In my opinion go for a SACHS or LUK clutch kit.
Hi Kevin, I saw a video of a guy changing the clutch on a VW Touran. He struggled for 1.5 hours to put the gearbox back into the motor. Was nearly the same engine and the same gearbox. It always looks so easy with you, but I know exactly how difficult it is lying under the car. Fantastic work!!
@@WMCS Hi Kevin, here is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/Cvnpb2j7QTY/w-d-xo.html . It's in German but I think you can see his frustration at putting in the gearbox.
Impressive one man job. Would it be any easier on 2015 B8 Passat 1.6 tdi? Got the clutch already replaced @ 63 K miles, but on warm engine rattle can heard which goes away when clutch pedal is pressed. I was told it has single mass flywheel so rattle may be from gearbox "neutral gear rollover", or maybe release bearing? Rattle heard here: th-cam.com/video/cc3KjfkH0A0/w-d-xo.html
Definitely the gearbox from that noise. It’s the main shaft bearing. It can be done in situ without dropping the box. All you’ll need is a bearing puller. At the back end of the box there is a big rubber cap. Pop that off and it’s that bearing at the end. Hope that helps.
@@WMCS Thanks, might need to contact you for this job (input or output shaft bearing). It's a MQ250 PGH gearbox, looks like it has a casting cover instead of rubber cap. I guess oil must be drained and replaced as well?
Do you rate single mass flywheel conversation on passat estate 1.9tdi.or should i go dual mass the car is only a school run car now.and which make do you recommend,thanks in advance lee👍
Hi Lee.., I wouldn’t really rate it. For an extra £100 you can probably get the DMF with the proper kit. You will lose the buffer between engine torque and gearbox .,, quite juddery .after that conversion.
Is there a dual mass flywheel on these engines? Is it better to change with clutch? I have an octavia that it difficult to get into gear and the bite is high on the pedal, but the pedal feels good. I think its just the clutch.
Hello mate, i know that i'm commenting on quite old video so i know you might not reply but aproximatly how long should this job take for decent mechanic? Based on this video i would say that it should be done in 2 hours max. Thanks in advanced.
Great job, I love watching you turn a difficult job into a seemingly easy job. I have seen so many videos that I almost already know the steps to disassemble a clutch hahahahaha. A question. At minute 4.10. Why do you disassemble this part in the VAG group?
THank you for the very helpful video, would that have taken 2 to 2.5 hours to that job? I have a Golf that had a really bad clatter in the flywheel, the guy I bought it off had a mechanic look at it and said a new flywheel will fix it. After getting a quote for $2,500 AUD the owner decided to sell the car cheap. The mechanic was half right but it also had a dead injector, after replacing the injector it runs much better but the flywheel is still making some noise and the clutch is not good. The mechanic did not bother to check the DTC's.
This particular repair. With an intermediate experience I’d say it shouldn’t take more than 5 hours to completion.., in my opinion. Thanks for your input on our forum.
Never seen anyone pop a box in and out with such consummate ease,,,,,, like a walk in the park for him,,,, excellent worker
I totally respect this guy's balls to carry out all this work outside !!

Good video and very useful 10/10. Before releasing the gearbox
selectors, do you lock the gear lever inside the vehicle? Thank you.
Nothing to lock. It’s all mounted on fixed points.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks pal. As far as repair goes all VAG engine are fairly low level skills. If there’s any advice you need just drop us a message.
Kevin, by removing the slave cylinder as you did, will you have to bleed the system all the same?

Kevin-Albert Williams thanks for reply mate do you use local supplier or an online one if its online can you put me in right direction.
I only use Euro car parts. They have good quality parts
There are a lot of parts to be taken out, I guess it's the most complicated car in your job. You did it very well.
It’s not that bad. They’re actually my favourite car to work on .., VAG engines.
What’s popular on your side of the world.
I'm interested to your tool that used for centering the clutch, what is it called? Where & how can I get it?
How do i find out if my car is dual mass or not , i have the same car as this but when i search for clutch kits it gives me both options ?
Thankyou brother. Is this the same as the 1.6tdi golf from 2014 ?
Is there a dual mass flywheel on these engines? Is it better to change with clutch? I have an octavia that it difficult to get into gear and the bite is high on the pedal, but the pedal feels good. I think its just the clutch.

Give yourself about 4 hrs. To include setting up and organising tools.
good job👍
I think if you used a cordless/ electric Milwaukee ratchet, you could save another 45 seconds on this job!!! Joking aside, respect!!!😃😃
🍻.. that’s it. The quicker the bolt spins the better.
Great video,I done lots on cars in the past and this gives me the confidence to just go for it.Thanks.

that part will catch on the engine body as you try to slide the gearbox out so needs removed.

37 minutes. the dealer asks to leave the car for the summer.
Excellent video! Is it the same on a vw Golf 1.6 tdi?

@@WMCS Thanks for the reply. What do you charge for fitting a new clutch into one of these?
BoostHit it’ll be £230 labour to include oil and gearbox service plus parts.
