Liked this vid. I have a 03 Jetta with BDF engine and 6 sp manual. I'm pretty sure my clutch is slipping. besides that, Would you know what would possibly cause the car to die at 1/2 and 1/4 tank of gas? Like since i changed the fuel pump and battery cables, the car just dies and i will have to turn ignition off then on a few times just to get it to clear, while driving in traffic. (kinda feels like vapor lock).
hi mate i need little help today i open camshaft for skoda 1.9 i need replace tomorrow can u tell me plz..i use torque wrench for it which number i have to set up?thnx
4:00 i have a 06 mk5 jetta tdi BRM 5M. I have not found online the bearing and seal for the shifter tower, but some people said i should get the mk4 BEW kit, wich i did, but havent tried to install it yet, since i need to know for sure if it will fit... cause if i go in there and take the old one out, i will destroy it for sure, and if the mk4 doesnt fit my mk5 i will be stuck on the lift.. Do you have an input on that?
It's probably overkill for a stock engine output but if you have a application that have more power and torque than stock it is the perfect kit it feels just like a stock clutch I know I have driven some Japanese cars with modified clutches and they never feel right I don't know if it's the brand of clutch kit or just the way that they are with non stock clutches.
Did you use special press for rear main seal ? I have mk5 BRM , have a whinning noise when i get off the line, so my throut bearing is gone soone, clutch doesnt slip, but i need to change it. I have Malone stage 2 tune also... Was debating either go with Valeo SMF kit, or Southbend daily ( double more expensive). Howcome you didnt replace the fork ?
semecristian Hi on this car it has the BEW engine so it has a normal seal so it doesn’t need a special tool just the plastic tool to help protect and install the seal on the crankshaft but on the BRM it’s a different story you need the special press/alignment tool because the engine speed sensor needs the seal to be at the correct place or else the engine won’t start. And about the fork I just replaced it because I did not want to have a failure later on and if you have only a tune I think the Valeo or a Sachs single mass kit should be enough.
I have never seen any early failure doing this and as an example the first generation TDI cars had a single mass flywheel with a very close in design transmission.
+V10PDTDI agree with what you saying but the reason they have dual mass not single is cause its not the same as first generation, either way as a mechanic I wouldn't fix those flywheels on customers car been fixing clutches and flywheel's for very long time now.
I used a single mass flywheel where there should be a double mass some years ago. It was on a Golf VI TDI 1.9 diesel It was a bad choice and it really really really had to be removed again.
Alan Ramirez thé BEW engine is pretty good not as good as a ALH but also better than the BRM engine the most important thing for PD engines is to use the proper oil specifications this is because of the cam and lifter wear but the BEW engine is better than the BRM engine on this point I don’t know if they had cheaper cams and lifters or not the EGR system has issues sometimes on the BRM engine the EGR cooler leaks exhaust on the bypass valve the pivot wear and this lets gases leak and then the EGR valve sometimes stick partially open then the engine doesn’t run good and the BRM has problems with broken wires in the engine harness close from the oil filter housings.
I just bought an 05 Jetta TDI from a salvage yard. In neutral it has a rattle in the transmission, when I step on the clutch it goes away. Could they have installed a single mass flywheel in the past or could this be a sign of a bad dual mass flywheel ?
Matheus do Golf GTI Yes it's normal to hear a rattle at idle when the car is idling in neutral with the clutch not press in but when you press the clutch to the floor then the noise should go away this is normal too.
YES! Thats exactly what happens, and i was so concerned about the rattle, i tough it was my gearbox main axil that had some lose, but i feel so happy now, made my day better! Thanks a lot, and sorry for horrible english
Had a Southend pressure plate fail on me, don't have much trust in this brand despite putting the same replacement in. It was never the same though, significantly harder shifting than with the dual mass...
@@dsruddell The clutch feel was ok (unchanged actually), it was the increased weight of the friction disc that made getting into gear harder. I attribute my first gear synchro exploding as a result of this extra strain but I can't say for sure that was the cause.
mr stas no only if the clutch is slipping because of wear of you tune the engine for more power and torque or the duall mass flywheel is vibrating otherwise it should be good for more km’s than what you have now I have a customer that drove his clutch for 600 000 km but it wasn’t slipping it was that the flywheel vibrated for so long that the clutch fork and pivot ball was worn thru the clutch fork .
What can I do to identify whether I have SMF or DMF clutch before removing transmission? Got new transmission about 14 years ago and new clutch. Not sure what is in there. This video ( ruclips.net/video/lR0YKFeiH6A/видео.html ) shows a DMF failing...my car here ( ruclips.net/video/PWqe8kv62a0/видео.html ) sounds the same...Based on a pic ( www.dropbox.com/s/14gp68x7rp4bamd/Photo%20Feb%2008%2C%204%2039%2015%20PM.jpg?dl=0) I shared on the TDI forum, one guy said I have a SMF. So my questions are: would a SMF sound the same as the failing DMF? If i do have a DMF, and I want to upgrade to the SBC Stage 2 Endurance clutch, will I need some sort of conversion kit, or does it already come with it? Lots to think about but I want to get all the work done in one shot and not have to wait for parts once transmission is down. Thanks for your info!!
If you are looking for a OE type clutch kit then they are not hard to find but if you want a kit similar to what is in the video they look on south bend ‘s web site we rarely order this type of clutch because theses cars are getting quite rare were I work. And the car has to have some power upgrades in orders to justify this clutch.
my transmission machanic told me that it would "destroy" my gearbox.. I never heard of anything like that on all he VW forms that ive been on.. so I told him to do it anyways...lol
Magical clutch replacement. I see now its much more of a product review than clutch replacement instruction.
Interesting clutch kit... will have to keep it in mind!

KURDISTAN uk What is the engine production code? You mean the bearing cap torque?
KURDISTAN uk Engine code? ALH, BEW, BRM???
KURDISTAN uk Skoda (what model car?) what year?
I have the same car and it also has the original clutch still in it. Great car!
Opps I got confused watching these videos. I actually have a 2002 TDI Jetta.
4:00 i have a 06 mk5 jetta tdi BRM 5M. I have not found online the bearing and seal for the shifter tower, but some people said i should get the mk4 BEW kit, wich i did, but havent tried to install it yet, since i need to know for sure if it will fit... cause if i go in there and take the old one out, i will destroy it for sure, and if the mk4 doesnt fit my mk5 i will be stuck on the lift..

Can I use the South Bend clutch kit on my 2007 BMW 335
what size socket do i need to remove the clutch and pressure plate from the flywheel on a 2003 wolfsburg 1.8?
Xavier Brassard if you’re talking of the small 12 pointed bolt then I think it’s a 9 mm but not 100% sure of this

Is this the same high mileage TDI that you have in later videos on youre channel? I'm safely assuming it is
good video thanks, I'm doing mine today, You sound quebecois , Are you in Gatineau or Montreal?
fitting a single mass flywheel will shorten the life of gearbox and also make the car vibrate like crazy when starting or switching off the car
I have never seen any early failure doing this and as an example the first generation TDI cars had a single mass flywheel with a very close in design transmission.
+V10PDTDI agree with what you saying but the reason they have dual mass not single is cause its not the same as first generation, either way as a mechanic I wouldn't fix those flywheels on customers car been fixing clutches and flywheel's for very long time now.

It was on a Golf VI TDI 1.9 diesel
It was a bad choice and it really really really had to be removed again.
There was somthing wrong with your single mass then , I don’t like dual can’t hold much power atall
Single mass is the way to go.
How reliable are the BEW ENGINE?
Alan Ramirez thé BEW engine is pretty good not as good as a ALH but also better than the BRM engine the most important thing for PD engines is to use the proper oil specifications this is because of the cam and lifter wear but the BEW engine is better than the BRM engine on this point I don’t know if they had cheaper cams and lifters or not the EGR system has issues sometimes on the BRM engine the EGR cooler leaks exhaust on the bypass valve the pivot wear and this lets gases leak and then the EGR valve sometimes stick partially open then the engine doesn’t run good and the BRM has problems with broken wires in the engine harness close from the oil filter housings.
Its not a transmission........ Its a.gear box mr. Mechanic " i lubed mine with KY......".
We call it a transmission here in western society. It means the same thing.
can you please write down what website you got the clutch kit from and does it come with the flywheel and pressure and all?
Hi if I remember right I bought it from Kerma TDI in the USA. Or I think you can buy it from south bent clutches direct .
I just bought an 05 Jetta TDI from a salvage yard. In neutral it has a rattle in the transmission, when I step on the clutch it goes away. Could they have installed a single mass flywheel in the past or could this be a sign of a bad dual mass flywheel ?
Osiris Mercado probably it has a single mass flywheel.
That rattle is normal
Where are you located? Im interested in doing this same cluch swap

Had a Southend pressure plate fail on me, don't have much trust in this brand despite putting the same replacement in. It was never the same though, significantly harder shifting than with the dual mass...
the one i put in has a super soft pedal and great feel. but i did have issues with south bend with my 7.3L ford zf6 clutch.
@@dsruddell The clutch feel was ok (unchanged actually), it was the increased weight of the friction disc that made getting into gear harder. I attribute my first gear synchro exploding as a result of this extra strain but I can't say for sure that was the cause.
Did the flywheel come with the kit or was it separate?
Yes it came with the kit real nice kit.
any video on the stage 3 daily from south bend?
this video is fantastic
Hello nice video, i have a 2003 jetta tdi with 280000 km on it, should i change the clutch kit?
mr stas no only if the clutch is slipping because of wear of you tune the engine for more power and torque or the duall mass flywheel is vibrating otherwise it should be good for more km’s than what you have now I have a customer that drove his clutch for 600 000 km but it wasn’t slipping it was that the flywheel vibrated for so long that the clutch fork and pivot ball was worn thru the clutch fork .
@@V10PDTDI thanks for your response , yeah actually i can feel some vibrations on the steering wheel
How much does work and parts go for?
Eric L it’s about 6 hours long to remove and replace the transmission and the price for the parts you can go and see on ECS tuning for price.

Where can i get clutch kit

And the car has to have some power upgrades in orders to justify this clutch.
You most have a lot of chatter now with this clutch setup?
Lazaro Carreiro no actually it's very smooth similar to à stock clutch. I was surprised.
V10PDTDI that looks like Dual mass flywheel from the video. But nonetheless great job!
Single mass is a big mistake on these cars.
Rob H could you tell me why it's a bad idea ?
You know.
I wish you had done the twist on the flywheel. I was waiting for it.
my transmission machanic told me that it would "destroy" my gearbox.. I never heard of anything like that on all he VW forms that ive been on.. so I told him to do it anyways...lol
+Camron Gray You should have listened to your God. Any true inclined mechanic should know this. You are either born a mechanic or not.
Is this the same high mileage TDI that you have in later videos on youre channel? I'm safely assuming it is
No it's not this car has a much lower millage but the high millage car we replace it at around 600 000 km's
