Update 2: My AXU engine doesn't have a dual Mass flywheel. so everything good. Make sure you check that guys. Update: Guys don't forget to replace the Dual mass flywheel! It lasts usally like 100.000 to 200.000 km. I had 230.000 and I didn't think about it (stupid, I know). Well Sir, I am getting the pleasure again to watch the video and do the work with you. This time I will be faster, hahaha... Amazing Video Sir! I just finished my clutch replacement on my Polo 9N 1.4 FSI AXU 2002 successfully thanks to your video! Yes there were a lot of screws that did not want to open and you made it look very easy ;) Without the Rustremover I would have had a much harder time. Thank you so much you saved a german engineering student a lot of money :) Here are some tricks that helped me for the next people: 1. Check the tools you need and buy them otherwise you will have a hard time. I had to buy the Multi-tooth nuts and the inbus 19 for the transmission oil outlet and the clutch centering tool 2. At minute 33:58 this small thin black ring (which is barely visible in the video) is supposed to be on top of this golden ring to keep all these parts in place. If this black ring sits right at the gearing, you will not be able to get it in. That one took me some minutes to notice. I wish you great succes on your clutch replacement guys! Cheers from Germany, Daniel
This guy has my respect as a fellow mechanic carrying out these jobs on a ramp indoors can be hard on the body never mind out side on the ground in all weather 👍
I go along with all these guys say mate, I’m 69 and grew up travelling & doing this but not on transverse engines & to be honest ran a little bit shy of them but watched your video mate & it all fell into place, the mysteries of transverse all disappeared so look out my 1.6 polo cl 1999 is getting its new 2nd hand gearbox & clutch replaced & my 13 yr old daughter & her 16 yr old brother are going to do it while dad kicks back & passes the spanner’s ! Cant thank you enough, your a proper job mate Respect ! Jasus which we had RUclips back in the 60s lmao 😂
Very glad to have found this video! The gearbox on my 1.4tdi Seat Ibiza has just given up, and the garage quoted 2000-3000€ to change it. So I'm gonna do it myself and do the clutch, flywheel and belts when I'm there lol!
Tell u what,this guy is fast,,holly shit,25 mins for a clutch change,and underneath the car on the ground,,bigrespect,I hope your business grows rapidly,,very hard worker mate,
Hi. First thank you for the upload it was enough information for this job. I have just changed my polo 2005 1.2 e clutch. (first clutch change in my life) and let me share with you some of my experience. I have to say you all deserve your money for this job as it is hell of a training for one man (on the ground) . - For anyone who will start it now be prepared when you lifting off the big part from the engine it will be freaking haevy for one man - some of you is asking if you need to change the transmission oil. I skipped that step and when i took of the big part i was full of oil, so i would take if i do it again + it will reduce the weight of the part - the process for me 1.2 e was almost the same except the clutch pedal lines in the engine bay and its parts and also under the starter the "cable holder" only came off if i removed the sensor from the exhaust first. - it was complicated for me to put back that "smaller part" ( i dont know the name 😅) of the gearbox as it has a strong spring and i only could tighten the screw in if i was pushing that part with a crow bar at the same time. (was shouting a lot that time as it was the last step...). Took me about 10 hours in 2 days. Only because i didnt have the 12 point socket that was needed to take of the clutch disc (it was 12 point socket size 9) If something else comes in my mind i will share here.
This is impressive. No hesitation, just cracking on with the job ! Looking forward to doing this myself, but inside garage with a lift... Will take a week probably 😬
Kevin u should be so proud of yourself,for doing these jobs so good as so fast,you have a brill talent mate,just fantastic,honestly your so good at what you do,you should be working for the formular 1 team,,or the army or sumin,just brilliant,
Great job again! The gearbox has very few bolts, but all mechanisms i.e. shift, pressure plate, starter motor.... have a lot of bolts, especially the driveshaft!! I prefer the system used in Renault driveshafts. By the way, I think we would really appreciate a tour on the tools you use! Many thanks for the video!
I really enjoyed watching this video, and wow man you have my respect 🙌🏼 i haven't seen anyone do a clutch change so quick and usually its a two man job and for you to so it alone ,is really impressive. 👍
dear Williams . thanks a lot for tutorials, very useful and handy. I am from Iran and I love your job. you inspire us in my country as a good fellow man who light the knowledge for those need it the most. you will be acknowledged by next generations, one after another. much obliged.thanks DEARST RUclips
Thanks mark. Been at it for a while now. It’s more enjoyable than work for me nowadays. I just do one repair a day then I’m home relaxing. Gets me out of the house.
Great vid mate thanks! You have reassured me cos I just finished the job and was worried I didn't grease thrust bearing! looks like it's not necessary!
Following on from my previous comment, thank you Kev for your vids, it was so helpful whilst doing the job to be able to refer back to this video. Everything went well, apart from trying to be clever and attempt to remove the gearbox with the RHS prop shaft still attached, which didnt work. I then removed it and got covered in gearbox oil, I guess that answers my previous questions! 1 rounded axle bolt and 2 sheared wishbone bolts later I got there, new bolts collected from scrapyard. Jobs a gudden. Cheers Kev!
Should be pretty much the same procedure on my 1.4 Golf I assume. This gives me some confidence that I can do it myself if the clutch finally starts to slip or something. As of now, it's still doing its job.
I would love it if you could do a video of the tools you use,but I know how hard you already work,so you probly don’t have the time,,I’m binge watching clutch changes tonight,,
Hi Kevin, brilliant video as usual! You do an excellent job setting up all your camera angle with good lighting and focus, hats off to you! Question: is it essential to remove the gearbox fluid? If so, did you just replace it with the oil you took out? Also... Is it essential to remove the driveshaft connections to the gearbox in order to get it out? (the bit full of black grease with a single central bolt, sorry I don't know the correct name). I'm replacing the clutch on my polo in 2 weeks just awaiting the parts delivery. Cheers!
@@andressantacoloma2589 The parts only just came yesterday, ordered from Autodoc which took 16 days for delivery! I will be doing it next weekend. Cheers.
@DickHead999 Borat I see, thank you. I suspected it was a joke. But still, as an engineer, I am interested in many things for myself. I use both an additive in the engine oil and in the transmission the so-called temperature-leveling oil density additive. 220 ml per 4L of oil. It reduces friction and brings the properties of the base oil closer to the synthetic properties. Practice has shown that this is life-saving and cheaper than any pseudo brands in oil. At least in countries such as Ukraine, Russia can to a lesser extent now. And in Belarus. Although Belarus has the lowest number of oil fakes. This is my experience.
Would it be a similar process for a 2000 polo 6n2? I can’t select any gears unless I properly slam them into gear and 3rd gear is even harder to find and slam into. Feels as if the clutch may not be pressing down fully aswell? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Usually when taking driveshaft flange off brass collar that pre loads bearings falls into three pieces, luckily not expensive from vw but stops job whilst getting it.
Hi, is it possible to support the engine using a jack instead of an engine crane while the engine mounts and gearbox are removed? Would a jack not be more unstable than a crane?
On each video you do you could put how long it takes you to do that clutch roughly at the end then it gives people watchine an idea how long these types of jobs take, just an idea
What for do you take out this part of drive shaft from the gearbox in 5:45 min? And one more question. In this type of clutch slave cylinder when you don't disconnect the fluid hoses you don't need to bleed the system right? Thanks for the video and for the answer 😀
In my opinion, if not, it is difficult to reach next bolt. Besides, he uses that bolt as a guide when inserting the gearbox, if I am not wrong... The slave cylinder just presses the lever. Interesting mixture of mechanical and hydraulic parts (i prefer the old fashioned cable)
I have a 9N3 with a 1.4L BKY engine belt driven and 4 speed auto gearbox, is it possible to drop in a 1.6L BTS engine chain driven and its associated auto gearbox without alterations
That’s one hard gearbox small but got plenty of bolts , simple yet a annoying box , Vw had plenty of bolts hence thought of placing them on the the polo
watching your video makes me think I can do it myself... Here in Germany, they are charging me 900€ plus the coast of the replacement... It is not worth the money. Do you think a person without experience would be able to pull this off? Thank you for your excellent video by the way!
I did it on my 90 KW 1.4 TSI Golf 6 before Christmas. Only after that did I discover this channel showing every detail and trick you need so you don't have to buy any specialised VW tools. Motor CAXA clutch LHY. So yes you can!! It was challenging, but if the video is there, then go for it. Watch all the VAG videos as the procedure is very similar for all VW, Skoda, Seats, Audis. Get a Long set of MZ Bits (12 Star) for the CV joints and a 17mm hex socket to fill the oil on the replacement gearbox. They are sent to you dry. Get the gearbox oil from the gearbox shop as VW will charge you 40 Euro per litre. Pay a small fee to access ERWIN for an hour and screenshot all the relevant pages. Look there for screws that have to be replaced and the torque values. Some are torque plus x degrees. I broke the lower ball joint on of the wheels as the nut was rusted on there. Things you will need include Motor bridge (Motorbrücke) as the engine is screwed to the gearbox and the gearbox is screwed to the car. Ratchet with a very long handle or a breaker bar for the motor holder screws under the battery. A large set of extensions for your socket set or two small sets. Torque wrench Proxxon. The electric schlagschrauber he has will easily save you 1 hour of work. A set of jack stands(not the cheap ATU foldable ones) Hockey pucks for the jack stands. Last but not least put the wheels underneat the car with you with some wooden blocks so if the car falls you won't breath out for the last time. Viel Spass dabei. One last thing I think schrauba youtube channel has some good clutch gearbox videos too auf Deutsch
This is a job that will Gradually fade away has cars go to electricity motors the Mechanic that services my car Said that petrol cars should see him out until he retires
Hi again. Just one thing. I have noticed that you leave some Renault gearboxes rest over the subframe, which you do not remove. Why? Are they very heavy? I mean the full aluminium ones, referenced as TL4, for the Megane and Clio of your videos. Thanks in avance!

Hi.
First thank you for the upload it was enough information for this job.
I have just changed my polo 2005 1.2 e clutch. (first clutch change in my life) and let me share with you some of my experience.
I have to say you all deserve your money for this job as it is hell of a training for one man (on the ground) .
- For anyone who will start it now be prepared when you lifting off the big part from the engine it will be freaking haevy for one man
- some of you is asking if you need to change the transmission oil. I skipped that step and when i took of the big part i was full of oil, so i would take if i do it again + it will reduce the weight of the part
- the process for me 1.2 e was almost the same except the clutch pedal lines in the engine bay and its parts and also under the starter the "cable holder" only came off if i removed the sensor from the exhaust first.
- it was complicated for me to put back that "smaller part" ( i dont know the name 😅) of the gearbox as it has a strong spring and i only could tighten the screw in if i was pushing that part with a crow bar at the same time. (was shouting a lot that time as it was the last step...).
Took me about 10 hours in 2 days. Only because i didnt have the 12 point socket that was needed to take of the clutch disc (it was 12 point socket size 9)
If something else comes in my mind i will share here.
