Having assisted on a Insignia clutch replacement I know whats involved . I was pleased when it was completed ,what a proper chew on it was , and that was 2 people !!!! This man has my total respect . Best of luck with your business Kevin .
I watched your video before tackling my partners dci qashqai, and now I'm watching this video before doing my insignia cdti 😅 brilliant work it's harder than you'd think on the drive way but I manged to get the qashqai done in around 5 hours with loads of stops for the rain and fairly basic tools. Saved hundreds and the car is fantastic now. Cheers.
I found you through work, i had to do a clutch on a Vw Transporter and your video was very helpfull :) no one believed like 95% could be done underneath the car.
To do a monster job like that on someone's driveway you are an awesome mechanic !! Brilliant video, I can appreciate how hard that must of been to film also. 👌🏻
Thought I'd leave it a while before commenting... The car being worked on is My car - it's a bit cleaner these days!! I've just rolled 182,000 miles and since the clutch was fitted, I've done 10-12,000 miles. Still operates like new, really pleased with the job. Kevin, you are the man!! Thank you, I'll see you at 340,000 miles 😎😎
getting you to do that clutch on that car and not the garage to do the work saved that customer a fair bit of money £££ kevin , big thumbs up buddy👍👍👍👍
Great video pal. I used to do jobs like that on my back but as the years started stacking up, the body started to complain. Long may you stay physically fit enough before the lure of a ramp takes over. Cheers
I would like to express a great big thanks to Kevin’s. I’ve been chatting to him recently regarding a clutch and dmf I replaced. Very helpful, he’s a wealth of knowledge and wouldn’t be second-guessed. Book him for your mechanic works!!! Thanks again Kevin, up most respect! 👊🏻
Great job, I discover your work. Everything seems nice and easy. For information, the operation looks pretty similar on SAAB 93 (and maybe 95) for Diesel engines (TTID and TID). Especially the parts bellow the car (the battery tray is pretty different... but not difficult).
Hi Kevin still a great job in the cold of winter, I hope you told your client that there are car wash centers :) I can't wait to see an alfa romeo 156 1.9 jtd 115 video.
Hi Kevin just found your video and it was great learning new knowledge. I own a 2011 2.0 diesel insignia and earlier in the evening my clutch got failed. Through my little knowledge I found no leaks anywhere, completely dry under and last week only my car passed road test. I am no mechanic but I was wondering if it can be only a master cylinder problem? Please share some guidance before I take it to mechanic. 🙏🏼
Thank u. Great video. I'm assuming the battery was dead before u disconnected the starter cables. Would have shorted otherwise. Once again great video mate.
Great job, may i ask what the white paste on the csc and the red on the boolt holes was? Also the clutch pedal on my insignia has dropped to the floor and wont return by itself, is this likely to be the salve cylinder? Thanks
Nice work absolutely great camera work, Just a curiosity how much would it cost for my insignia to be done with a new clutch exactly same model as this one just for future reference thanks.
Hi David.., I didn’t have to do that. As you probably know the steering column has about 10cm give in the sliding part of the column. Which is more than enough to compensate for the drop. Thanks 🍻🍻
Hi kevin.just done 1 on the ramp.that rear starter bolt is a pain.i had to take the box out completely to fit a new crank seal..horrible job.well done on the floor again.
As much as I value that impact wrench the battery is held together by 4 iPhone sized screws .,, so I’ve had to super glue. Elastic band and duck tape that sucker otherwise it keeps coming apart 😁✨✨🍻
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍 Just replace my clutch after watching this and it went well but I'm having real trouble bleeding it. Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙂
@@WMCS its all connected back up and there are no leaks. I've tried getting someone to pump the pedal and I've tried pressure bleeding, the pedal feels ok but the clutch is not disengaging. Even took the gearbox back off and changed the slave cylinder to be certain it was ok. Thanks for getting back to me
It was a bit long winded but one of my preferred repairs. The DMF had seized up solid and causing a constant judder whilst pulling off and shaking on idle.
Another great video! I was wondering about my car... I've recently replaced a drive shaft (near side) and I'm sure my engine mounts are going or worse, the reason for this i'm also sure is because the DMF is slightly out so over vibrating on starting the engine, it doesn't shake violently on start-up but I think over the past 18 months the constant wreching because the DMF is out with the starter on start-up has rattled the heck out of the engine mounts? What do you reckon, is a whole clutch kit replacement the way to go or just the DMF? Your help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks again. Jem.
@@WMCS O.K cool, I'll be organising something for after xmas I think, I don't see the point in changing the engine mounts and then leave the clutch as is if it's going to keep rattling like heck. i'll let you know, the car will and does drive OK so would get me to meeting point to maybe take the long drive out of the equation of you were to fit the new kit?
Did you get this sorted? After I had DMF replaced mine rattled on start up. Garage said it would settle down. Stupidly I left it and it's still same now 18mths later! No issues with it apart from that rattle as engine fires up.
@@nickbell8634 I'm havintg the engine mounts done at a garage now mate, I''ll let you know if there's a difference ove the next few days. I'll have the car back tomorrow I think? As I say, Im pretty sure now it's th engine mounts, KAW replied in another similarly related comment of mine, saying that he was sure ity was the engine mounts, also saying that it is very rare that DMF's fail hat way.
@@jemmace2586 That would be great to know. Mines on 170k miles now, had DMF changed at 103k but rattle on start up has been there ever since. If mounts I might consider changing.
Do you ever come away from a job then think did I tighten a certain part up ? I’ve been a mechanic for 20 years and seem to be getting worse for this, if I go back and check I always have tightened it but sometimes can’t remember doing it.
Tom great idea! and Kevin the Zafira Tourer C is way different than the old B Modell - actualy not listed yet and maybe not possible to change that easy
Hi kevin i noticed you dont use your quick jack vehicle lift anymore is there any reason for that as i was thinking of getting one you see. do you not rate them whats your personal opinion on them as you have experience using one
Hey Mike. I still use it, but only for RWD vehicles. As it’s a lot better for all wheels up in the air. But for FWD it’s a lot quicker for me to just jack up the front wheels., I still rate the quick jack. If ever I move in a workshop I’ll be using it everyday. ✨🍻🍻🍻
It’s a special sealant that will stop the rubber disintegrating over time which is a cause for oil leak through the gearbox For repair cost send your details via www.williamsmobileclutch.co.uk

Hey, random question don’t know if you or anybody can help, I have just had a complete clutch replacement on my car and it doesn’t feel the same to drive anymore, feels heavier is the best way to put it and sounds like a squeaky noise from the steering wheel when you turn it stationary, has something been put back wrong?
It should feel a lot lighter. Not heavy. The clutch pressure plate is the incorrect one my best guess. Squeaky noise might be the suspension top mount.
Hi...i need some info plz...i had a garage change my dmf and clutch 5 years ago...ive only done 30000 miles since and my clutch made the most horrendous noise and seized up and now the car wont even start...just makes a weird struggling sound..and only 2 inch of movementon the clutch pedal...can i assume the dmf and clutch will need changing again.?...i wont pay 1200 quid for a repair if the cars only worth 1500 so im thinking of tackling it myself...would you recommend someone try this with very basic mecanic skills?..and any advise would be much appreciated..thankyou
Hi Kevin, just doing a clutch and DMF change on my Insignia 1.4 and I notice there is no locating dowel in the end of the crankshaft, although there is a hole on the crankshaft and DMF. Do you know if it should have one or not? Thanks
@@WMCS No not yet, I will check that out tomorrow. I was just worried there may have been a dowel and it came out when I removed the old DMF. Great vid by the way, you make it look so easy
Hi, help would be very welcome, replaced 2013 insignia clutch with a struggle as I am 75, big problem is all back together but now don`t have reverse 5th or 6th gear. what have I missed? selects 1 -4 ok. both cables clipped in place on gearbox. does the gear lever have to be in a certain position before connecting cables back on gearbox?

Hi Kevin, great job, was it easier for you to work on Passat then on Insignia when you compare both jobs on gear box? I have got a feeling it was quite straightforward to get gear box out on my B6,B7 than on this car, wasn’t? 👍
@@WMCS not bad, 👌I do understand what you mean, challenging works are always exciting. I hope you are ok. Keep your self warm and safe. Thanks again for this great video.🍻👍
I took a look at your video list...and it's almost endless...I reckon you gotta have super developed neck and back muscles by now!!😁 Wouldn't you prefer doing this work on a lift?
Working on a lift is so strenuous ,, too much pressure on body standing up. Shoulder., back., elbow., Laying down for me is where the longevity of this career is 😁🍻.,, I think I’d miss the fresh air if I was indoor. I left a main dealership for this .,

Hi m8….. what’s the grease that you used on the back of the slave please???
Great job! How long did the repair take? In the end it is already dark.
Including filming about 5 hours. But I did start a bit later on in the day this one .., I think I finished about 05:00pm.
Well done.
Good job mate
🍻🍻✨🍿
Kevin whats the white paste on the slave? Grease or sealant?
Awesome job in record time. The dirko tube that you used for the back of the slave what was it? And what’s the red grease?
It’s a chemical sealant that helps the rubber to not get hard over time. Which is a cause for oil leak.
Whats the name of it mate i need one like that for my own replacement im looking to buy that please let me know
Great video. 👍👌
Thankyou.

hi Kevin, back onto the big stuff again, more room to work but seemed like a long job .. was this a failure or just friction plate worn out?

If it’s too difficult I don’t take it on.
