    This was the best video for me. The steps match what I faced for the VW Eos 2007. Not all the steps are able to be photographed as the bolts are hidden away from view but the dialog is very helpful. It was tricky to get to those bolts but with perserverance we got there. The whole job took me 3 hours as it was my first time. There are other similar videos herein but this one was the best for us and solved the problem. Thank you!

    Great vid . Just to clarify the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder are two separate parts - master cylinder is connected directly to the clutch pedal and what is shown being replaced. The slave cylinder is a different part being connected at the other end of the clutch line directly to the gearbox. Do you have a video of the clutch bleeding process at all ?

    Thanks good video. For bleeding the clutch i recommend using a small oil can pump with brake fluid and pumping in from the bleeder valve. Worked like a charm and pushes out the air our the reservoir as you fill the system. Make sure you have the clutch pedal pulled out. Works like a charm.

    Hello mate, I have a golf 6 2010 and my clutch pedal dropped sometime and today decided to give a hard time. Just I want to know if you find to be hard to shift gears just before you decide to replace the cylinder. I don’t want to change the whole clutch kit and then to end up changing the cylinder. My flywheel been changed 50k ago. Any info will appreciate! Cheers

    • @BoofYou
      @BoofYou 2 роки тому

      What do you mean gave you a hard time? For me when the master cylinder went out it got very soft and worked a few times and then went out complete where you couldn't change gears at all. If yours dropped but then can back for a while, i guess it's still possible there is a small crack or seal that has gone bad. But it could be another part of your system.
