I had the pleasure of "maintaining" a C4GP for a few years, i know the "french" solutions. After watching your video, I'm sure, that if I had clutch problems with that car, I would have burned it down. Should we ever have problems with the rotation of the earth, we will call you, you will fix it. Great craftsmanship, my respect...
😆😂.., Honestly you’d think these engineers at Peugeot came out of a Soviet Union era military school to please Stalin by inflicting pain on the rest of us with these design.
Very impressive, what a great business model! I'm in the US, so I bet a much higher percentage of automatics. I love watching the assuredness and economy of movement of the mechanic. Do one thing but do it well!
Dear Kevin, you did well ... I feel pleasure when I see your work ... I thank you for your efforts in photography and montage, in addition to fatigue in your work, and all of that is your goal to spread the information .... Really, you are wonderful ... I am from Iraq and I follow you
Max the real time including filming on this one was a solid 8.5 hours ., I thought it was a great end to the year as it‘s winter., wet, Dark and cold., these are the best elements I operate in ...
Great job and complicated, I would not find where to put the screws again in case I knew which ones to remove, well I just congratulate you on this great manual work, now that everything is disposable, I would not get under the car with the trestles, give me the feeling that one day there could be a failure and fall.
Bro I really appreciated ur hard work . Whenever I am replacing a gearbox or clutch first I check it in ur videos how to do it then I start the work . once again thank you very very much
I hope santa got you a new battery for your impact kev😅 merry Christmas and have a great new year. Looking forward to see what content the channel will bring in 2021
Pete hope you had a great Christmas and the new year ahead is a good one for you too. I didn’t leave the milk 🥛 and mince pies 🥧 by the front door. So Santa flew straight by ..,
Shaun thanks for supporting the channel and some great feedbacks. Hope the new year brings nothing but the best for you and family as well. Stay tuned as always.
Great job as always Nice to see they have revised the dpf set up! The older 1.6 hdi engine's involved removing the dpf completely to gain access to the bell housing bolt Enjoying watching these thanks again 😊
@@WMCS true! Your a great mechanic and I love watching you videos Here's one for you I had to replace the clutch and flywheel on a peugeot 206 1.6 hdi a few weeks back that one bolt that was behind the dpf gave me hell no matter what I tried it was front bumper off, rad pack and dpf totally crazy for one bolt, a few people said cut it off but I like to put it back together as I took it apart You ever done one of those? Any tips would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Yes. I believe there’s one in the channel. I’d you browse through the videos of actual repairs. How I tackle it is to very slightly bend down the DPF bracket. So I can get a ring spanner to crack off the bolt. Then I undo it as I pull the gearbox out. Hope that helps.
What sadist at Citroen decided to put the battery in that position, great work (understatement) yet again Mr Williams and another lucky customer getting you to sort his vehicle.
😆😁.,, there’s the battery and the bolt behind the catalytic converter. Some real twisted engineers back at Citroen., I agree with you completely But sure was a funny comment tho 😂
well done .i spent 36 years fixing cars and bikes .... making a living . snow rain ice. at to do it. never had the gear you have. All ball and pin.a labour of love. i new a lad ow would put a clutch in any car. for £25 .now he drives wagons .
John much respect to you. It must have been a lot tougher back then. New clothing technology makes it a lot more bearable to work outside now and plus the little comfort like padded mats and heater.
Mines gonna need doing i would think been slipping intermittently in 5th & 6th when under load. When i spoke to garage they said they are one of the worst clutches to do and was quoted £1400 quid. Had another quote by another garage and it comes in at just under a grand. Great video seeing what’s needed to go into replacing one
How many miles was on yours when started to fail? Mines at 40k and and a 1.6hdi and takes ages some times for auto to change gear and heavy on fuel now to
Thank you very much for your very good video! I had to change my clutch in emergency,it was easier thanks to you! For car with left steering wheel (I'm french), don't forget to remove the screw of the steering column. Concerning oil, I put initialy 1.9l of motul motyl Gear 75w80. Gear was difficult to change. I change later for total Gear 8: much more better. Concerning quantity, gearbox with fins needs only 1.9 L.
What a pig. Designed by committee. Half wanted torks half wanted bolts. Says a lot about the quality of maintenance when you have to beat the wheel off with a hammer. Merry Christmas to the hardest working bloke on RUclips. Stay safe and we will see you in the spring.
Alan I often wonder why myself. Why so many variants sizes. That’s why I’m a fan of VAG engines/gearbox. You only need 3 size sockets to do the whole repair.
@@WMCS Hi, I've been watching all of your videos since you started posting on RUclips. I learned a lot from you and in this way I thank you very much for everything you do. I respect and appreciate you very much. I am always looking forward to posting something new to watch with great pleasure. I'm following you from Italy to Venice. Happy Holidays to you and your family Kevin !
i found this video theraputic lol woman will never understand well done kevin good job...ill be doing the clutch sometime on my c3 picasso...kinda looking forward to it lol.
@@WMCS had a mechanic friend round today just mentioned about my c3 clutch pedal hit floor and no clutch...when i broke down car towed to garage nearby..they said total clutch refit near 1000 pounds..i refused got it towed back..mate just checked it and clutch is fine its the master slave cylinder that connects to pedal at fault..is there a special proceedure on bleeding master and slave on bell housing..mine has the 2 clip only on lower cylinder bell housing...angry i could have been duped quite easily if i had a no worry money attitude
Frank it’s always great to hear from a fellow mechanic from back in the day .,, Hope watching the vids brings back some great memories for you., although these engines nowadays are evolving faster than we can think.
Thanks for your support of the channel and all the feedbacks. Hope you’ve had a great Christmas and wish nothing but the best for your year ahead. God bless.
Awesome video as always dude!! Apologies I haven’t commented in a while but I have still been watching!! Hope your and your family have a marvellous Christmas and new year!! Keep safe dude!
@Kevin-Albert Williams , Thanks for the video, you did a great job !!! great skills and knowledge. I have a C4 Grand Picasso 16. HDI 112hp with EGS (semi auto) The gear box is manual actuated by a EGS. Do you know if I will have space enough to replace the clutch and the fly-wheel mass with the EGS installed? I mean following similar steps than this video... Any extra precaution that I should take when I will change the fly wheel? Thanks in advance JMC
Thanks for the video fella, great instruction so that I could take it on my own. You must have some arms on you shifting the gearbox as easily as you did.
@@WMCS managed to do it this week, worst bit getting the arch liners and under tray off as all of the fixing were knackered and spinning. Would have taken me forever to find that top bolt on the starter motor without the video so thanks once again!
good job .. but finished in the dark this time, hope you're going to get a few days off now mate, what did you get for Christmas ... a rain hat and some new gloves? , Merry Christmas
Santa didn’t stop this year. I forgot to put out the mince pie and reindeer food. Having a week off now. But will be back at it as soon as the 1st of Jan comes round. Thank you for supporting he channel. And nothing but the best of 2021 for you as well. God bless.
Which degreaser/cleaner is used in that pressure sprayer? U always use to clean the gearboxes and block with in your videos. Looking for a good solution like that. What a hell of a job this one pffff hats off
Having discovered clutch slip in my brother's similar 2015 Citroen, I sold it today, just as well as it looks a swine of a job to fix, and possibly DMF to have to replace as well. Shame, it was a nice vehicle otherwise, aside from when it broke down in France when someone borrowed it to visit Disneyland and it had to be recovered to the UK - typical French car snags!
Good Video already done my clutch once but your way was easier how many clutches can you do in a day I used to be keen like you I’m 55 now I can still do these job just not as fast as a young lad like you
@@WMCS iv just replaced the clutch again in my c4 grand picasso mk2 them starter motor bolts arnt the easiest to get to but you can get in from drivers side with tiny little extensions much easier first time I changed clutch I removed box all together it’s a heavy old thing better your way loosen sub frame off and just push it over I never had one of those clutch alignment tools but the box whent straight back on thanks kev
We should name you Mr kevin and the bolts Factory, how many bolts and nuts were there OMG and you remember where each of them goes back, mate I enjoyed every moment of this master class video, what a fantastic job, I wanna be a mechanic now. On a diferent note Mr Bolt how much you think will cost to fix my picasso same model am in london
You should always use a torque wrench if unsure. My personal answer is I do these every single day. A bit like you learn how to drive but when you pass your test over time you develop a knowing instinct.
Hi Kevin hope you got had a good Christmas really enjoy watching your videos no easy task ripping out clutches on the ground keep up the great work 👍 quick question astra h 1.7 diesel do you need to lower the subframe completely our can I just do what you have done with the 1.3 astra h and lower it down and then wedge a lump of timber cheers
Same thing., almost identical. I have a 1.7 after new year if you can wait that long I’ll film the repair. Otherwise more than happy to point you in the right direction.
@@WMCS doing repair in next few days im a HGV mechanic by trade but I do bits on cars and vans but never done a clutch on one of these yet lol yes the advice would really be appreciated do I need to drop full subframe thanks again 😀
Only partially .., you’ll have plenty of room to take the clutch and Fly out. You don’t even need to touch the starter motor and it’s bolts. Subframe gearbox side all bolts out and drop link. Driver’s side slacken about 1/3 of the way out.
Does it not have a self-adjusting clutch, on which you have to compress the spring in the pressure plate before tightening it to the fly-wheel? I believe my C3 Picasso from 2010 has it.
It’s a self adjusting clutch. But I’ve never heard or had to compress any springs. Not even for a C3. All you have to do is press the clutch pedal after installation like shown in the video and that’s how it adjusts itself. And as you drive over time and keep pressing the pedal as the clutch plate wears down the auto adjuster keeps releasing so there’s always tension on the clutch system. Hope that helps.
@@WMCS great video, many thanks for your efforts. One question. My car is a C4 grand picasso 1.6hdi egs system... therefore, I dont have clutch pedal. Will self adjusted after drive a bit? I will need to plug the diagnosis tool to calibrate the gearbox? thanks in advance
Thanks for supporting the channel. I’m always adjusting the torque setting via my phone app. But it goes up to 1400nm. But in general. There’s are the settings I use. 200nm 150nm 50nm
Wayne tell me about it. At least on these you can just about touch the starter one. I’ve got the 5008 this week. Which I’m hoping to film. On that one you need literally brake your wrist and arm to get in there 😆
Hello Kevin, I have a 2009 model Grand Picasso 1.6 Hdi with MCP semi automatic gearbox. I will change the cluth 2nd time, last time I used Sachs. However, I want to try Valeo which seems fit according to factroy fit list. Would you suggest to do so? The reasons are it is %40 cheaper and it feels more solid, the flywheel doesn't move as much as sachs's product. It would affect the driving experience in a positive way. I just presume.
Great work. I've just bought one of these with a reported clutch/flywheel change less than 10k miles ago. There is a rattle when depressing the clutch on gear changes. Any thoughts on the cause? Do you get over as far as Great Yarmouth? Cheers
Thinking of getting one of these. Are you happy with the C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel so far? Any thing you think I should look for? Thanks for your time.
Hello, very good tutorial, thank you, how much gearbox oil should I put in? There is no other place to put it? There are other models that underneath the battery have a vent for the box and it fills up there, it doesn't. You, what did you put it for the reversing sensor? Thank you so much
Hi, in this video you install the clutch different position than the installation on Peugeot 3008. Here you install it in reverse. I have a 407 1.6hdi and which is the right direction? Been confused because both of the cars that you upload the clutch change have the same engine.

Another fine example of engineering. Oh, engineers don't do repairs. Great job Kevin.
😆😁😂.., These engineers really went to town with the battery design especially on this one ..

Merci beaucoup et vous aussi ..,
Nice one Kev! thanks!
James thanks for the support.
Excellent work Kevin , Merry Christmas mate.
Hello,
You did a good job, although I don’t think it’s as complicated as in some other cars.
How long did the job actually take?
Solid 6 hours.
Does it not have a self-adjusting clutch, on which you have to compress the spring in the pressure plate before tightening it to the fly-wheel? I believe my C3 Picasso from 2010 has it.
It’s a self adjusting clutch. But I’ve never heard or had to compress any springs. Not even for a C3. All you have to do is press the clutch pedal after installation like shown in the video and that’s how it adjusts itself. And as you drive over time and keep pressing the pedal as the clutch plate wears down the auto adjuster keeps releasing so there’s always tension on the clutch system.
Hope that helps.
@@WMCS great video, many thanks for your efforts. One question. My car is a C4 grand picasso 1.6hdi egs system... therefore, I dont have clutch pedal. Will self adjusted after drive a bit? I will need to plug the diagnosis tool to calibrate the gearbox? thanks in advance
great video very in formative i will definitely subscribe.a1 man ace.
Thank you. I think you should to honour the Williams surname legacy 😁😎🍻🍻
Just subscribed! Great videos! May I ask you what torque/speed settings are you using on your impact gun and for what type of jobs?
Thanks for supporting the channel.
I’m always adjusting the torque setting via my phone app. But it goes up to 1400nm.
But in general. There’s are the settings I use.
200nm
150nm
50nm

Nice work
Hi Kevin , une question ? est-ce obliger de serrer le volant moteur au couple ? Super boulot you have gold hands !
The starter motor bolts and the bolt from hell at the front of the bell housing ?? Lol
Wayne tell me about it. At least on these you can just about touch the starter one. I’ve got the 5008 this week. Which I’m hoping to film. On that one you need literally brake your wrist and arm to get in there 😆

Beau travaille
Merci beaucoup ..
Good job bro
Hello Kevin, I have a 2009 model Grand Picasso 1.6 Hdi with MCP semi automatic gearbox. I will change the cluth 2nd time, last time I used Sachs. However, I want to try Valeo which seems fit according to factroy fit list. Would you suggest to do so? The reasons are it is %40 cheaper and it feels more solid, the flywheel doesn't move as much as sachs's product. It would affect the driving experience in a positive way. I just presume.
Great Video 👍🏽is much different for the Auto one?
Citroens are not easy to work on mechanically or electrically.
They are usually long winded and a little bit over complicated 😆😁✨
Brilliant
Great work. I've just bought one of these with a reported clutch/flywheel change less than 10k miles ago. There is a rattle when depressing the clutch on gear changes. Any thoughts on the cause? Do you get over as far as Great Yarmouth? Cheers
Thinking of getting one of these. Are you happy with the C4 Grand Picasso 1.6L Diesel so far? Any thing you think I should look for? Thanks for your time.
Great video Kevin. What's the make / size of trim clip removal tool you use at about 2:26 in to remove the wheel arch liner clips?
Good job 👍💪🍻
Hello, very good tutorial, thank you, how much gearbox oil should I put in?
There is no other place to put it? There are other models that underneath the battery have a vent for the box and it fills up there, it doesn't.
You, what did you put it for the reversing sensor?
Thank you so much
Thankyou.
Put your hand up if you bought those floor mats, yep me too.
They’re great aren’t they those mats. The little luxuries.
@@WMCS at my age a necessity!
Thanks for the video. 👍
Hi, in this video you install the clutch different position than the installation on Peugeot 3008. Here you install it in reverse. I have a 407 1.6hdi and which is the right direction? Been confused because both of the cars that you upload the clutch change have the same engine.
