I Kevin ! Thanks a lot for all your content, greetings from France. I'm the owner of an Astra H GTC (336 600km) old lady but very very good car. I took my car to a garage to have them change the flywheel + clutch kit (Blue Print brand). Just after the repair, there was a lot of hydraulic fluid leaking from the gearbox. Now there's only one or two drops. But it's still there. A lot of things surprised me: they dismantled the brake calipers to change a clutch, something I've never seen before...to make room they said. I think you have to reassemble everything to see why it's leaking, even if it's minimal. Apart from that, the clutch works normally. I think the guy overdid it on the bleed and blew the clutch release bearing... If you've got 5 minutes of your precious time to give an opinion (it's not easy from a distance, I know) I'd love to hear from you!
After a few days you will lose the hydraulic pedal completely most likely. I am assuming the csc was dry bled instead of prime. The seal inside the slave cylinder is most likely gone. It’ll keep losing fluid.
Kevin i,m sitting watching you with a beer on a friday night with some munchies but what superstar you are I hope you pass on your work ethic to a new member of staff what a grafter anyone that has done a clutch on a ramp or in their drive salutes you kevin
hi Kevin .. I always read through many of the comments .. people really appreciate your work, you earned a lot of respect, I'm sure a lot of young people will be motivated by the example you set them, well done. ... and .. soon be Christmas again, seems like a long time ago when I first saw one of your videos at Christmas time . 😊👍
Thank you. And that’s 4 years ago. Amongst the first ones. You’re definitely in the premier league of support for the channel. Very very much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and family 🍻🎄
@@WMCS I suppose every person who has that replacement clutch performed on their cars have to take the car to the alignment plant after that massive removal of the suspension system, right?
Theres a fair amount of vehicles now that have a couple sleeves or similiar for alignment of fromt subframe now....not all....but some..i think the silly box in the Uk started the screaming about Ford mondeo subframes being out of line years ago.....@Defenderofthefaith-o8z
Good luck to my dear friend Kevin, my Octavia TDI diesel particulate filter has been cancelled. I was using 5/30 dpf oil before. Can I use oil without dpf feature now? Ordinary 5/30 oil. Thank you 👍🏼

Changing my clutch following your guide. Perfect . Thank you. I've dropped a few quid to you. Hopefully others will too.
Thanks you for the kind gesture.
It’s been well received and very much appreciated.
Kind regards.

Absolutely. That’s all that expensive oil is for 😁
Thanks
Thankyou. 🙏🏽🍻🍻
🥰👍🎉❤❤❤
There is an oil code for vw Skoda diesels like 507.00 should I take this into consideration?
Go with 5w40.. that’s what you need for that engine.
How can I test if my clutch is broken or still okay?
Several ways to check. Depends on what symptoms is being displayed
then can i use quality 5/30 synthetic non-PDF oil?
5w30 is good. For hot climate go for a little bit more viscosity because of the heat. 5w40 in my opinion
Hi from Bavarian Forest...so much to disassembling especially in french boxes....😒
Bavaria 🍻🍻🍻 …a bit like ordering heart surgery 😁
@@WMCS WHY 🤔🤔
You are a true friend Kevin, thank you
No worries mate. Anytime.
