Volkswagen mechanic here in Australia who owns a my13 UP! They are such great little economical cheap cars to commute in especially with todays fuel prices. A full 35 litre tank of fuel here lasts me about 4 weeks before needing to refuel it. Anyways I also wanted to say respect to your hustle as a business owner mate. I know how hard work can be under the hoist let alone on your back on different folks properties so much respect.
Williams, thanks for uploading this video. I managed to change the clutch on my vw up with help of this video. My first clutch change ever. I managed to do so in under 6 hours. Really helpful, keep on doing your job and enjoy. Best regars
Hi Kevin, very nice work. I've done quite a few clutches in my life too. It's fun to watch it on film now. I see that you give grease to the clutch shaft and do not give it to the shaft cover sleeve where the thrust bearing moves. During operation, the lining of the disc wears and dust settles between the shield and the bearing, causing it to seize. I had such cases very often, sometimes there was even a damaged impression paw. Now I'm retired and it's nice to see you work efficiently. I ran a car workshop for many years, hence my interest in the automotive industry. I bought myself a restoration car with my birth year being a 1954 Morris Minor. I imported it from Sweden and am already working on it. Greetings from Poland - Adam
Excellent video , you really took time to show us everything..very helpful..I brought my Daughter a citigo and no doubt ill be doing the clutch at some point ...thanks again..you doing a great job 👏👏👏👏
this screw behind the starter motor already gave me a headache. I struggled to find where the gearbox was still attached. good videos and see you next time
I went home and had a ponder over that car and because it was the first time I’d done one so I’ve watched the videos a few times and have come up with new ways of tackling the next one. But you’re right it was a fiddly un-German like design.
This car was designed to have a rear engine in the trunk. That's why the trunk is so deep btw. Later they changed the plan and fit the engine in the front. Maybe that's part of the problem?
VW had a problem with the early UP!'s. The clutch would not disengage from a cold start. This lead to 'crunching' when trying to select forward and reverse. VW did finally solve the problem after complaints.
Another fine job completed single handedly. Just like to ask are you still using original Milwaukee M18 from 3-4 years ago or have you needed to change it. It has served you well in all the videos i've watched of you working, is it the brushless type model?
Please advise why I have to drain the transmission oil when I want to change the clutch on a Ford Fiesta 2006, 1.3, The videos are perfect, I really enjoy watching them.
Hey your videos are amazing and so clear. What i noticed you did not used any grease on throw out bearing. Could you please explain why, please also let me know how much gear oil it takes. please make a video of passat b8 1.4 tsi. Thanks buddy
That was an intricate one Kev…looks as though it would be more convenient to leave the gear box in situ and remove the whole car. Another top job Kev! 👍 18:51
Hi Kevin, I have submitted an enquiry for a price for replacing a clutch on VW UP 2013 Automatic. Have you done a video for removing an automatic gearbox which I assume would be slightly different than a manual gearbox as you have the control unit and too many wire looms to remove. Do I have to be careful to remove any wires and special auto items above and below the gearbox. Thanks
Great stuff Kevin as always I was hoping this week’s video was the new model Kia Sportage 🎉 is the repair the same as the old model you done last year?
Hi. Ty for the video. I have a question. I'm pretty sure my UP needs to get the clutch changed. Because when I start the car there is a lot of rattling, and it disappear when I press in the clutch pedal. But my car also makes a kind of high rattle noise when I get from about 2500 to 3000 rpm in all gears, except for 5 gear i think. Can that also be the clutch making that noise? I hope it's just that and not something else wrong with the car, like the transmission.
It's a shame the Up!/Citigo/Mii seems to be one of the most fiddly cars to work on I've seen you do, Kevin. How much is it down to the tiny engine bay? I remember last year you did a Polo with the same engine/gearbox combo, was that just has bad or was the design/access just that much better? I promise to baby my Mii's clutch.....🤣
Very restrictive engine bay. But that oversized starter motor for 1.0l engine is the same as for the 1.6 version. And the battery tray design is definitely not German. Hi think they’ve cheated on this mix and match combo. It’s definitely not VW.
@@WMCS Yeah sounds like a hodge-podge led by the bean counters! Did this UP! have Stop-Start and that explains the oversized starter I wonder? I think the battery tray with the ECU attached might have changed with the late 2016 facelift. I do fear the TSI engine UP! models would be even worse for access though😯
Can I ask, that cover for the airvent hole to the gearbox, why did you remove it? at 35:59 when you put back the lever to the gearbox, maybe I am wrong and it's not to vent the gearbox. Great job.

How and where did you change the transmission oil ??
On top of the gearbox. You have to pump in in under pressure. You cannot simply fill it up

This is a useful channel for Up! owners. Major prob in Australia is we dont have parts here anymore. Probly need to get them from UK.
Super tutoriel vidéo, très bonne qualité d'image, encore merci.👍
Excellent video , you really took time to show us everything..very helpful..I brought my Daughter a citigo and no doubt ill be doing the clutch at some point ...thanks again..you doing a great job 👏👏👏👏
What a pleasure to see a master craftsman at work 👍🏻
what a hell of a job on such a little car i suppose the smaller they are the worse job they are thanks for the video
this screw behind the starter motor already gave me a headache. I struggled to find where the gearbox was still attached. good videos and see you next time
This car in my opinion is the worst design from VW.., what’s your opinion on it.
Well lads! That's a German engineering I shall say 🤦
@@WMCS absolutely mate am with you on that...
Kev that’s gotta be the first time I have ever seen you get annoyed with a box that wouldn’t come out 😂
I went home and had a ponder over that car and because it was the first time I’d done one so I’ve watched the videos a few times and have come up with new ways of tackling the next one.
But you’re right it was a fiddly un-German like design.
You’ve the patience of a saint doing that Kev. Thanks for the video👍
Definitely on this one ..🍻
This is awesome as the gearbox is light you can change it at home for real cheap, 200 bucks and 40 for new gearbox oil.
Nice job. You make it look easy.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Awesome video, thank you so much for sharing it. You made it look easy, but it's not. I admire your work!
Very good job, but a lot of work. When I go to do that with my VW up I need 6 to 7 hours before the job is gone 😊😊
Excellent job mate, love the way you work, well done 👍
Thankyou.
Grazie per i tuoi video! Grande kevin
You're so organised, brilliant work & videos, have you done any Astra K mk7 clutches ?
This car was designed to have a rear engine in the trunk. That's why the trunk is so deep btw.
Later they changed the plan and fit the engine in the front. Maybe that's part of the problem?
VW had a problem with the early UP!'s.
The clutch would not disengage from a cold start.
This lead to 'crunching' when trying to select forward and reverse.
VW did finally solve the problem after complaints.
That problem still exists up to this day believe it or not
Very good video - your a master of your work. How do you go on when it’s pouring down - do you erect a tent or just get soaked ?
Excellent work. You've done that before!
That was actually the first one on record. Have browse though the channel for some other good content.
Another fine job completed single handedly.
Just like to ask are you still using original Milwaukee M18 from 3-4 years ago or have you needed to change it.
It has served you well in all the videos i've watched of you working, is it the brushless type model?
It only came out a few years ago !!
Muito bom!
Excelente trabalho.
Espetacular cómo siempre 💪👍 abrazo grande dé argentina
Thanks
Please advise why I have to drain the transmission oil when I want to change the clutch on a Ford Fiesta 2006,
1.3,
The videos are perfect, I really enjoy watching them.
I wouldn’t advise taking on the repair if that part Isn’t obvious.
I really appreciate your feedback
Thanks 🍻🍻🍻

I’ve responded to both of emails.
I’ll keep it short. I don’t work on auto gearbox 🍻
Great stuff Kevin as always I was hoping this week’s video was the new model Kia Sportage 🎉 is the repair the same as the old model you done last year?
I’ve got another new version of the KIA coming up. Set up a bit different. Better than the previous model.
I’ll have one up soon enough. Stay tuned. 🍻

Thanks for the reply buddy 👏💥

New gearbox ..
@@WMCS ty for the answer👍
what year and mileage? M curious
thumbs up for you Kevin 👍 but thumbs down on VW for the way they designed this car 👎
They definitely built that pyramid around the sarcophagus 🍻😁

A lot of work just to get to the clutch.. Great job though!
Is the grease Strawberry or Cherry taste?;-)
Give it a go and let us know 😁
I replace the gearbox with a new one .. than , whe I just finished everything.. this car doesn't want to drive .. t tried 2 times
Profiii💪💪💪
Wow me thinking this would be a simple one.
one teacher
🍻
front disc off :-D
Very bad car for work.
Can I ask, that cover for the airvent hole to the gearbox, why did you remove it? at 35:59 when you put back the lever to the gearbox, maybe I am wrong and it's not to vent the gearbox. Great job.
