Can’t thank you enough! Followed your instructions step by step to replace the clutch in my Golf 1.6tdi. It took me about 5 hours, but well worth it as it saved me €1000 from what the dealer quoted me.
Loved the way you got the camera sited for us to see everything…. Oh an loved the way you used your leg on the Jack😂….. I’ll remember that when I’m next under my car💪🏼😎…..great job!
Hard work mate. Fair play. I was doing this for the first couple of years as a Mobile Mechanic but gave it up. Too much hard work. Just doing light Repairs now 👍🏻
Thanks. Always great to get feedback from a fellow mechanic. Especially someone that’s doing it for a living. I’ve been at it for about 8 years now. I’m sure I have seen your logo on a van in the Bedfordshire area. Is that where you are. 🍻🍻🎄
Fascinating to see the impact gun used for nearly all bolts. Remember changing clutches on a Marina and a Land Rover. No power steering or air con to get in the way! I assume the DMF was wrecked, hence the angle grinder? I totally admire that you can remember which bolts go where! Regards Charles
Hey Charles I take it you used to do a bit of repairs yourself. A lot has changed since then I suppose Yes the DMF had spun out of place so the only way was to cut it out. Not fun that part 🍻✨🍻😁
@@WMCS . Still try on modern cars. Not much space with all the clutter. You needed to work on cars of my youth as they needed it! Modern cars are reliable but when they go wrong.. . nightmare! Wishbone s on my V50 next weekend....
Mate I’m glad you noticed that. It’s made from fibre with a ceramic coating. Usually I’d use two or even three regular discs to cut through this hardened alloy. Only used one of them. And it’s flexes. So ideal to cut at 45• angle
This is great work, I remember I decided to change the clutch on my car after I made a mistake buying a very bad car. And that happened to be the first thing I ever did to a car, not brakes, or oil, or air filter, but the clutch. :) Seeing you do multiple ones per day on this channel is amazing. But I'm also curious, do you torque down flywheel bolts or do you cut that from the video, and if not then how come?
You've found your niche. Having the right tools and the right knowledge shows. You're making fast work on every job. Recording it all and compiling it into the video. Great work. BTW 22:00 - Have you not considered something smaller like a Dremel/Die Grinder type tool. I know you're doing easier with this, but probably something that would make it easier to manoeveure
Great video as always. Extra job with the stuck dmf. I wonder if smf conversion is feasible on this car. Keep it up mate. Really enjoy your videos. They are like asmr lol!
This is my first comment on a video your a very good mechanic and I love watching the videos I'm learning a lot When filming are you using Gopro cameras?
Man I hope you are getting serious money for doing clutches on your back, it won’t be long until you feel like a 90 year old! absolute madness what you’re at.
I’ll happily do it for free any weather ✨☀️😆..,, not always about the money 💰 You can hurt your back riding a Shetland pony if don’t know what you’re doing 😆😁
Great video Kevin, this is the first one of yours I've seen but I'll certainly be watching more, you make it look easy! Quick question though, why remove the cup out of the gearbox after you removed the driveshaft? Could that not stay in the gearbox or does it get in the way when removing the box?
That’s correct. With that driveshaft flange in situ .., it’ll be a real struggle getting past the flywheel. And a greater chance of Bering the gearbox shield which if distorted can scrape in the flywheel causing all sorts of noise. ✨✨✨
Well done Kevin, for a job well done Pal... I moved away from cars and work on trucks now in a modern workshop ( find it easier, even tho everything is heavier! But simpler) I bet your enemy is bad weather!
I'm following you from Italy, you are really smart and your videos are wonderful, if you can try to give a little more illumination Congratulations again
😂😂😁 mate listen., I’d rate Milwaukee all day long but them 4 tiny little torx screws holding the battery together needs to be revisited.., thanks for the feedback pal. Appreciate it.
I love watching your work, you make it all look so straightforward. Have you ever considered wearing eye protection when working underneath motors as a lot of crap can suddenly drop down from the undercarriage ? Also do you do auto box replacement ? Peter
Excellent instructional video very detailed and well filmed all in focus,i certainly learned alot from you thank you Kevin. The dual mass clutch problem does this happen often ? or do you carry dual mass flywheels just in case.Would you normally have left in place if no damage and just replaced friction disc and pressure plate?
Hello, thanks for the video. Are you sure of your gearbox oil replacement procedure ? Because as you do, not all oil goes out, In VAG procedure you have to open another hole under the box and the refill is from the up (reverse contact sensor hole), not by the hole you used, also you have to turn and push a small lever (you can see it at 16:51) on top of the box . You purged a small amount of oil i think whereas the gearbox takes 1.9 liters. The correct oil level is above the hole you used for refill. So for those who watch this video, check the correct procedure.
Flipping heck dick 😁.. 2 L of oil in the gearbox and that is it. Drain plug .., well that drains the oil out .. you don’t need a university degree for that
The VAG procedure for gearboxes after 2013 from golfdave on golf 7 forum: FIRST & Highly Important!:- You need to FIRST lock the selector mech with the little black lever handle, this is on the top side of gearbox case. Put selector in neutral & push down a small amount & feel with the other hand for the indent whilst turning the small black locking lever from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock. If you do not do this you will lose the position of the gear selector mech in the gearbox & you are in for a tow job to the dealers!! 2. Using a 17mm hex undo the main rear drain plug & collect the oil in a suitable container. 3. After the above has fully drained remove the pivot pin plug (bolt requires T-Star T45). Allow the oil to fully drain from here. Once this has drained, fit new o-ring (VW part no. N90362001) to the plug shank. Lightly lube the plug & “O”-ring with new gearbox oil, & use a small amount of medium strength thread lock (blue Loctite) on the bolt. Replace the plug & torque bolt (25Nm/18lbft). 4. Clean threads, & replace the main drain plug & torque (35Nm/26lbft) 5. Now you can unlock (turn the black lever handle back to 9 o’clock) the selector mech & make certain it is in neutral to avoid damaging the reverse light switch. 6. Remove the reverse light switch (undo connector easy by squeezing top of tab into body), & then use a 22mm spanner or long socket. 7. Using a 10mm dia max (external) hose (18inch or 50cm) & funnel, insert hose into the hole for the reverse light switch & slowly pour in the new oil (this takes ages..so kneel on floor on cushion...)..(measure out the oil beforehand & pour no more than the stated amount for your gearbox) 8. Refit the reverse light switch & use some blue hymolar on it (flex gasket/sealant)...torque up (20Nm/15lbft). I used a 22mm diesel injector tall socket (also does Lambda sensors) & reconnect the reverse light switch.
Another great video. Will you film a Ford Focus 1.0L Ecoboost if you get one in the future. Your impact driver is good and I have got the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 1/2in Impact Wrench, which is stubby and powerful. Great for getting into tight spaces.👌 🙂
Great Job! Just need some help pal i have a Audi A3 2017 manual 1.6tdi 23k and when the clutch pedal is depressed fully it’s vibrating and when lifted slightly it stops can you please let me know if it’s the dual mass flywheel as Audi states it doesn’t have a dual mass flywheel on it thanks in advance...
Unbelievable work , just a question if I may , doesn't the oil level out of the fill hole have to be done with the car level and not the front jacked up ?
So many of the fasteners on VAG vehicles these days (according to the factory service manual) are one time use only. I would imagine this would apply to a good majority of the hardware removed to perform this job. I’d be interested to hear your professional take on this. Is VAG just having us on to make more money selling parts? Clearly you do these sort of repairs in your sleep and reuse the hardware all the time without issue, no?
Very true and on point with the up sale from VAG.., and a lot of manufacturers for that matter. ..,, All the fasteners I take out are perfectly re usable ..,, you just need the correct trim tool in my opinion ....
Hey Kevin. Love your video? I have the same 2014 Audi A3 but in 1.4T Pertrol Sedan. Would the replacement process be the same for my car? And where can I get the part that you use in the video?
Kind of like the way you work 😄 but your gonna break your back with this if your gonna do it for a longer period of time, hopefully you can save up and get your own small shop.
when you do VAG cars do you use the correct gearbox oil , meaning from genuine VAG stuff ? seems that with VAG cars unless using the genuine vag stuff you get strange noises and often notchy gearboxes. also mixing the oils is suppose to be a massive no no. ive just changed my gearbox and i ended up fully draining the box and using some febi stuff from euros which seems pretty good so far. P/S - is that new flywheel cracked? is that what you was pointing at before sticking the clutch on
That’s the brand Sachs. You can’t mix and match parts on VAG engines. Either it’s Sachs or LUK as a set. .. I use MTF fully synthetic lubricant.., it’s not oil per say... 75w90 the ideal viscosity due to small quantity it takes.
@@WMCS ye i can see the sachs logo on the fly wheel, maybe its the camera angle then, at 29.45 it looks cracked right across between the 2 bolts, do you ever get any recalls / warranty returns were a faulty clutch has had to be replaced? assuming you give warrantys at all
you tube if you notice there’s the main bolt locator hole which is shaped differently from the other ones. So that bit is machined at a slightly different angle..
@@WMCS just watched that part again haha. i seen you say it only took 3 hours for this one? thats just as quick as any garage or even quicker than some garages may take, i took 5 hours doing a 6 speed on a 1.8t without an impact which i was please with haha
Hi there had a release bearing falling to bits on previous clutch @ 22k fitted new clutch now have problem where it’s stiff to go in first gear especially when it’s cold I’ve replaced the gearbox fluid still no different can it be a faulty clutch kit (LUK Clutch)
Hi , i also replaced the new clutch on 2.0tdi same car and same problem in first gear , however the problem it s in the pump that actionate the clutch it is air inside and i don t make enough power to press on clutch properly , on this new models the pump it s connected with the break sistem and uses the same fluid , try to open the valve its under the air filter on top of the gear box , one press the clutch pedal and you try to open and close that valve , do so until fluid clear come out without foam and air , after that close that valve and after some days the shift problem goes away
Honestly your a amazingly skilled beast if there was a gearbox wrestling championship you'd smash it. Your my go to when I've got to do a clutch I'm not familiar with I can't thank you enough for sharing great information with videos. This video was 1h how long do you think it actually took you if I double that I'll have a idea of what it should take me 😉
Hi Mr.Williams. I have a question for you. To disconnect the wires of the gears, it is neccessary put the neutral or block the gear shift ? And other related question, when you reconnect again, how can I know if the gearshift is well assembled? Thanks for your help and congratulations for your channel it is very useful. I like a lot and I follow a long time ago.
Hello, first of excellent video and fully detailed, keep the good work 💪 I have one question tho... I have the same A3 8V model like in the video, replaced recently everything on the gearbox (flywheel and clutch) and also replaced gerlarbox fluid, but now I have like a clinging noise when in neutral or while driving really slow. When I realy slightly press the clutch pedal the noise goes away... One thing I noticed when the mech replaced everything is he put some other gearbox fluid instead of 75w80/90 and only two bottels... Could it be because of the wrong fluid type and too litlle fluid? Thanks in advanced...
2L is the correct amount.. 75w90 should be the correct oil. What you’re describing I’d pretty much say it’s the gearbox shield touching the back of the flywheel.. it will cause a bit of a scraping noise. ..
Hmmm strange... When it comes to the fluid I am 100% sure he didn't put W80 or W90, and the noise it's almost like two coins rattleing. Slight press to the clutch (not full down) and it goes away... Thank you anyway for your time and resposne. Will try to change the fluid again but this time to put 75w90 Regards!
I replaced my clutch and flywheel and the car vibrates only when moving off or reversing. I used the clutch alignment tool and ensured everything sits correctly in place. What could be the issue ? Audi A3 2013 1.6 TDI Sachs clutch kit and flywheel fitted
good morning friend all right, but an excellent video, say something i have a mitsubishi colt gti 1,600 year 1990 the 4g61 engine has 200,000 kilometers with the same transmission line, has it changed in the same car that i have?

The dual mass clutch problem does this happen often ? or do you carry dual mass flywheels just in case.Would you normally have left in place if no damage and just replaced friction disc and pressure plate?
Every vehicle that has a DMF gets replaced with the clutch kit. The whole clutch system gets replaced. That way the game is worth the candle.

Hi Raul.
It’s brake cleaner. But any solvents works just as well.
Great work! What is the reason for right axle flange removal? Is it blocking the exit?
That’s correct. Otherwise there’s a lot of struggle to get the box out. It will catch behind the flywheel.
What is the real time you exchange?
Otherwise, great respect for your work!

Many thanks Kevin! Best regards from Portugal!
Hi Mr.Williams. I have a question for you. To disconnect the wires of the gears, it is neccessary put the neutral or block the gear shift ? And other related question, when you reconnect again, how can I know if the gearshift is well assembled?
Thanks for your help and congratulations for your channel it is very useful. I like a lot and I follow a long time ago.
Not required. The gear linkages are set. So pop off
Hello, first of excellent video and fully detailed, keep the good work 💪
I have one question tho...
I have the same A3 8V model like in the video, replaced recently everything on the gearbox (flywheel and clutch) and also replaced gerlarbox fluid, but now I have like a clinging noise when in neutral or while driving really slow. When I realy slightly press the clutch pedal the noise goes away... One thing I noticed when the mech replaced everything is he put some other gearbox fluid instead of 75w80/90 and only two bottels...
Could it be because of the wrong fluid type and too litlle fluid?
Thanks in advanced...
2L is the correct amount.. 75w90 should be the correct oil. What you’re describing I’d pretty much say it’s the gearbox shield touching the back of the flywheel.. it will cause a bit of a scraping noise. ..
Hmmm strange...
When it comes to the fluid I am 100% sure he didn't put W80 or W90, and the noise it's almost like two coins rattleing.
Slight press to the clutch (not full down) and it goes away...
Thank you anyway for your time and resposne. Will try to change the fluid again but this time to put 75w90
Regards!
hi Kevin could tell me were you get the spray bottle from ive just got ten lts of brake cleaner thanks
If you type in google compression sprayer you can find a variety to choose from.
@@WMCS Thanks mate
BIG JOB VERY NICE
Great job. 👍
Great! You are a fucking ninja bro! Good job!
Do u have to change the gear oil when u change clutch ?
I replaced my clutch and flywheel and the car vibrates only when moving off or reversing. I used the clutch alignment tool and ensured everything sits correctly in place. What could be the issue ? Audi A3 2013 1.6 TDI Sachs clutch kit and flywheel fitted
Update, the gearbox mount was worn and was causing the vibration. I replaced it and now the car drives perfect.
Good job!
good morning friend all right, but an excellent video, say something i have a mitsubishi colt gti 1,600 year 1990 the 4g61 engine has 200,000 kilometers with the same transmission line, has it changed in the same car that i have?
Difference would be in the chassis subframe and mount attachments.
@@WMCS thanks for the reply, greetings from portugal.
Excellent!! What's that spray you are using mate.thanks
It’s brake cleaner ..
I bet that Engine was shaking so much with the off center duel-mass flywheel.
It was juddering quite a bit .., as you have pointed out the off centre plate spinning over 1k revs was felt through the steering wheel.
Was the engine automatically or manual
Would this be the same procedure for the 2.0 tdi?
Super work bro
What was the mileage on this one? That flywheel looked a bit sorry for itself hahaha
That's exactly what happened to me with the dual mass flywheel today, caddy 1,9tdi!
Did you have to cut it as well.
@@WMCS I did it like you
Uwe Bermann good effort.., how did you find it. Fairly straightforward..?
@@WMCS
There was only this possibility, it was blocked.
kevin u da man
Video very interesting.... Think you very much.
Your impact gun do you get 2 years work out of it or less as it seems it gets a lot of work
This impact has been going strong for over two years now .., it’s definitely one of the best ones I’ve owned.
@@WMCS what model of milwaukee is it?
@@malitaflorin4842 Fuel M18. I use the same. This is the best on the market. 😬 A bit expensive but worth It.
how much torque should be tightened to the flywheel?
Bravo
Do you still fit clutches? Could I have a price please on a 64 plate Audi A3 2 litre manual?
Yes of course.
