Your video really help me, i didn't remove the bar over the pedel, i useda swivel joint to do the top 2 nuts. I am not a mechanic, just a you tube mechanic. I look on here to help me with any new job. Yours help a lot, took me 2 hours to do. Thanks
Your car is the exact same job as my 2016 golf gtd. You are correct, different to golfs yet same as a mk7 gtd. Good video im definitely taking the seat out first as u recommend 👍
Good go at that master cylinder. I've done them on BMW's before and they are similar. I'm doing one today on a Porsche and the master looks similar but I think that's where the similarities end with this one. I've never done a Porsche before so I'll be kind of like you were on this video, learning as I go. I should have the video done in a few days. Thanks for posting.
Yea thought I would do a video as there wasn’t one on the seat! Me backs still aching but glad I got it done and saved a few quid 👍 good luck with the Porsche 👌🤛
Grand video! Couple of things, don't need to remove the sacrificial plastic when removing the knee air bag with an open end but bit fiddly getting them back in if you don't. Little star washer holding heat shield on... Have fun...Little box of trix hiding the 13mm for the bar. Someone else said about taking out the little box to the right, certainly helps. Carfull with the steel liners on the main unit they can pop out when your re-installing making it fun. Stick some blue tack in the end of your socket when your putting the 3 nuts back on.... That top left one...... So fun.... Bleed nipple was in a different spot on mine, part of the salve maybe but it's just above the starter motor on this plastic fitting. Bleed a couple of times pumping the clutch with the valve closed. Works great. Garry... thanks pal!!! Wouldn't have been able todo this with out you! 👍
Good glad you sorted it mate🙏 hard work but better than main dealer price 👌 and yea there wasn’t a video for a Leon on this! I recently done the heater matrix on this car too! Should have done a video on that!!! Nightmare lol
@@garywilkostube3435 Sounds like fun, may give it a go just for the lol's, if it's anything similar I'll have to do some stretches or join the circus as a contortionist 😜
I have a clicking noise as soon i press clutch, i was going to tackle this job but after watching this polava i think im going to just put up with the click, it isn't causing any damage anywa , I'll wait till donald duck grabs my leg. Thanks for the how2 vid though👊
Good video, just changed mine and the are a few things worth knowing... to bleed the clutch you need to rotate the yellow plastic bleed nipple by 180° to allow flow. You don't need interior panel tools, if you remove the little storage cover by the odb port you can see enough. You need a 500mm extension, and a swivel joint and then you can remove all the clutch pedal nuts relatively easily. Total time for me to do it was 4hrs.
Hmmm I never had a yellow bleed nipple not that it matters but didn’t really think bleeding the clutch was that difficult.i didn’t think the pedal bolts were hard either just the 13mm bolt holding the metal bar thing in place!
@@garywilkostube3435 yeah that bar was one of the tricky ones. One other thing I found after when I threw my old master cylinder away, the sensor plug that you removed can be avoided as you can release the whole sensor pack, and the clip for that is in full view - bit easier than unplugging. Anyway good video, very helpful :)
Ummm about 5-6 hours! I think if I was to do it again I would whip the drivers seat out to allow me to lay on me back lol 😂 the worst part was that damm 13 mm bolt holding the bar in front of the clutch and break pedal! Refitting was a pain but if I was to do again reckon it could done in under 4
Brilliant, thank you. I haven't had the car long, but am rapidly getting fed up with substandard parts failing. The waterpump housing is leaking as well, so that is another job.
Hi Gary, needing this doing on my Leon, when ordering the master cylinder some coke with a sensor and some without, which one did you fit here? Mines is doing the same sticking half way up 25% of the time then eventually pops back up. Thanks for the video 👌
@@garywilkostube3435 cheers Gary, I did use that and it gave me two options, ended up using my local tms which was a bit more expensive, just to find time to actually fit it now. Cheers again 👌
Hi Gary, just to say thanks for the tutorial, I successfully changed mine tonight. No one to help with try clutch bleeding so will do that tomorrow but all went smoothly. Took about 2 hours with ur guide, I left the black bar on tho, pedal came out ok just squeezing it back a bit. Saved that hassle 😂 thanks again. 😎
No real visible sign mate just the fact the pedal would sometimes stick to the floor when changing gear and I would have to use me foot to lift it back up!! Cars done 107k
Well done for getting it done. Mine has just gone, garage rang today saying I can’t drop the car to them until tomorrow now so I’m debating wether or not to give it a go. Bleeding the clutch is what scares me though. Thanks
@darylrawlings9077 na bleeding was the easiest part mate! Do it if u get stuck just message! If you look on UA-cam there are plenty of vids on it but mainly in the golf’s or scirocco which are the same anyways 👌how much the garage want?🙈
@@garywilkostube3435 did you have problems selecting any gears the reason I ask a friend has a issue he selects 1st gear then when he tries changing to 2nd he has trouble selecting 2nd and won’t come out of 1st gear the clutch friction plate pressure plate central master cylinder and dual mass flywheel were replaced about a year ago
@@garywilkostube3435 ok thanks mines been sticking for about a month now just at the top then I would flick it back up with my feet but now. I got in the car today completely dropped to the floor no signs off leaking under the pedal that why I was thinking could it be something else
Possibly the slave but mine didn’t leak at all just wore out! Think the slaves harder to fit hence I opted for the master and I’ve done 16k in it since I’ve changed it without issue

Mate I ached for about three days after I done the master cylinder 😂😂. The matrix took ages the glove box was a nightmare to get out 💩💩

@garywilkostube3435 hi mate did you disconnect the battery before starting ? Also did you have to bleed the brakes as well as the clutch ? Thanks
Cheers mate brilliant video
Hope it helped you out 🙏

Hi there Scott, the yellow screw do you mean the bleed screw ? Thank you, josh

@@joshstone118 yeah, on my car it's a yellow plastic bleed nipple, that you rotate through 180 degrees to open the valve to bleed the clutch line.

Nice job, I need to do this on my Golf GTi, which has failed at 44,000 miles. How long did it take in the end?

Glad it was of use 🤞wish I’d done a how to for the heater matrix on the same car as that was a pain lol 😂
You look like Hank, the guy who played in the tv show breaking bad
lol thanks 😂😂 that has been said before your not the first 👍
How long did it take you. Hopefully not 8 hours.
hi Gary when you had old part out any idea what was wrong with it was it broken etc
No real visible sign mate just the fact the pedal would sometimes stick to the floor when changing gear and I would have to use me foot to lift it back up!! Cars done 107k
As you mentioned the book said 8hrs to complete. How long did it take you??
All day lmao!! But I did stop for brews! If I was to do it again I reckon a few hours max 😝3-4

Why was you changing the clutch master cylinder
Because it was worn out after 118k 🤷♀️

@@sithwalker2489 that’s not the master cylinder mate probably synchro mesh or something!
Hi mate can you tell if it’s the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder
In my case the clutch pedal would stick to the floor intermittently and I would sometimes have to use my foot to flick it back up!!
