Just finished a complete clutch change on my 2008 Polo Cross 1.9 diesel using this video. Drove it and it works perfectly. Bought the clutch on Autodoc and paid 250€. Asked a workshop what they would charge me for a clutch change and they said around 1500€😳😳 So thanks man you are a true inspiration and make amazing videos with perfect angels.
Honestly. It was great reading your review. As that’s the main reason i shoot the videos. To help others with minimal skill to have a go. Glad it went well. 🍻🍻🍻
Sir I applaude you,. It took two of us over a few bottles of beer to accomplish this task and you did it on your own, in the outside, with rain, and a crappy floor! whilst taking footage! We started at 10am and did not finish till 6.30pm but we did take a 3 hour break down the Coach and Horses.
Bina .., now that sounds like a successful day out. Especially if there’s beer 🍺 involved., and a great end result with completion of the repair. We salute you 🍻
Another quality job Kev I’ve been using one of those clutch alignment tools for a good few years now they work every time nothing worse than struggling with a heavy box and having to put it down again because of miss alignment.
Fair play to you buddy. Hard enough job todo in a warm work shop with vehicle on lift an people too help. Nice to see a grinder with no guard on it being used . 10/10
@@WMCS ive built cars an motorcycles the last 35 years, never had a guard on a grinder in my life. No serious bodily injuries from it either, a few battle scars lol nothing super glue with reactor spray can't fix. I must say my days of working on the pavement like yourself are over. People have no idea the extra difficulties it creates. Ask new young mechanics todo a gearbox on the pavement and they will not even have axle stands. I did build myself a set of portable ramps that split in half for back of van. Lifts the vehicle up just under 3 feet level by using a trolly jack. Ive retired but have enough cars and bikes to tinker on round the house. Mostly my work was bodywork and fabrication along with paint. I find people try to haggle to much now, want the best mirror finish but are not willing to pay for the extra hours it takes. I am very impressed by the level of work you show while making videos also, thats impressive buddy as I'd get confused and mess things up lol
wow! that clutch was in a bad state, great idea for getting at the bolts on the DMF, had a similar problem on a ford ranger, but luckily there was two of us, my mate managed to wrench the face plate around while I got the socket in to undo the bolts, a big problem on your own but you got round that easily. Brill job keep 'em coming...
Before I graduated onto the grinder. I used to hammer it back round with a chisel. It does move but about an hour of constant hammering. It’s always great to get feedbacks from someone that’s done the job and know what it’s like.
Best mechanic I ever seen in my life. That aside, Audi is my favorite vehicle and it ever will be but now I know that i did not made a mistake by buying A6 instead of A3, he had to dissasemble whole fucking vehicle to get to the clutch, what a shit to work on damn.
All the best fella, on the ground is 10 time's harder than using a 2 poster ramp, I been in the game 30 years and I wouldn't do it on the floor. Luckily you're power tooling mostly. Charge well your body won't last.
Hey Jem.., they are usually a pain when it gets to this stage .,, the centre spacers at this point has been completely obliterated and the top part of the DMF goes out of alignment and seizes itself together
@@WMCS Yes, I had a good idea that that was the problem when I saw the bolts out of alignment with the holes through to access them. I also noticed the small lift you gave the car, with the planks you used under the wheels to help with the lifting of the car, you know to reach the height you needed to stop having to use the jack, to then get the jack right under to the the most central position giving you the best point of lift at the sub-frame, right at the very end of the video, TOP TIP!! :)
It was a still a nice repair. You know they’re my favourite them VAG gearboxes. 😁., I wouldn’t say anything bad about them ✨🍻😆.,, have a merry Christmas and great new year. Thanks for being a great support to the channel .,,
Dude you are a monster I did one flywheel on audi took me 4 week's no lie had all the tools every second bolt was troublesome getting in in was harder than getting it out now I never cleaned down like you did I like that extra touch what is in that spray bottle you use?
Hi Kevin. Gave you a thumbs up. Do these motors also have a pilot ball bearing on the motor side, behind the flywheel, or it’s not the case here? If there is, they say it should also be replaced with this occasion. Also many would argue that since your at it, one should use the opportunity to also change the gasket on the crankshaft. What’s your take on this? Would very much appreciate a somewhat thorough answer. 10X.
Another top job ive just asked milwaukee. Tools to send you a new impact gun as a good will gesture as in all your videos your promoting there tools and sales must of gone up 😀👍
3 year old video still doing its thing watched this on my first clutch change ever 4k miles since. ive changed most things that you have to take off before but other than the box and clutch i didnt have a clue about now doing one on a astra and tring to find out if i have to take sub frame out or not 🤣
Awesome work, I always service my car and bike brakes etc, would love to be able to do clutch’s and cambelts etc, Just a bit of a big job and don’t have much space or time, but would like to do it 😀, anyway keep up the good work👍👍
Very good one! Our clutch ninja carves the stars to throw directly from a flywheel! Do these flywheels use to have that bad condition? I am impressed. Is it a kind of fuse? Thanks for the video!!!
Yes. The flywheel had turned from dual mass to solid and seized itself.,, it happens when the DMF goes and you carry on driving on it., if it goes off centre there’s a good chance the spinning force will crack the bell housing.
is that same type of job done on the 1.9 pd engine ? as i have got a leon mk1 pd150 also try AC90 its better than wd40 the same person who brought wd40 ages back owns action that do Ac90 have a look, good gear like there other products.
I have an audi a3 tdi. Its 55 reg. The first gear doesn't go in smoothly. Does that mean the clutch on its way plus the clutch pedal is a bit stiff too
hey please i have a question on bloc engine its marked the bore cylinder class , for example "abac" can i use piston classe "B 71.98" if the cylinder classe "a 72.00" is worn but still in the limit of classe b lets say 72.02" ? the mix is possible ? cause the workshop says that if classe "a" exced the limit , rebore the cylinder 0.1 and use oversize 0.1 piston Cylinder "A" 72,00-72.01 /// Piston "A" 71,965-71,97 Cylinder "B" 72.01-72.02 /// Piston "B" 71,97-71,98 Cylinder "C" 72.02-72.03 /// Piston "C" 71,98-71,99 over size cylinder "A" 72.10-72.11 /// over size piston "A" 72,065-72,07 over size cylinder "B" 72.11-72.12 /// over size piston "B" 72,07-72,08 over size cylinder "C" 72.12-72.13 /// over size piston "C" 72,08-72,09
Ken not usually. This particular flywheel got driven with for about a month after it failed. The worst case when that happens is the gearbox cracks like an egg. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄✨✨🍺🍺
Innocuous observation but when I’m working on my car in the drive I have a creeper size mat that I lie on ,I’m always having to move around and shuffle about and it annoys me so much, never thought to just use garage flooring to cover the whole area.
I have this car with same engine, my dmf is a little bit noisy when idling in neutral with clutch out, the clutch plates were replaced at one stage, but the mechanic never replaced the dmf when he was doing it, will it cause damage eventually? thanks
No probs at all northernman..🍻🍻.,, I’ve been doing it for nearly 8 years now. The first 5 years I used to do two a day Monday to Saturday .,, but I had to start really early 05:00am and finish late about 07:00pm. Since I’m now in my mid 40’s I only do one a day Monday to Saturday., So I leave home about 08:00am and usually back by 2-3pm.., How about yourself. I take it you’re in the trade 🍻🍻🎄✨

Nice job as always Kev, I knew as soon as you tried to move that flywheel that the dual mass was locked up. What an pain the a***

Hi Kev, not really a bad day for December, I've thought several times about buying one of these, what do you think?
Love u videos I just subscribed u quality of work is very good u r one very good macanic take care stay safe

Pilot bearing is a bit of a thing from the past. If it still has one it’s usually pre mounted in the flywheel already.

Yes you’re wrong .,, it’s a sealed unit ., unless you’re releasing the pressure then there’s no need to mess around with it.
number ten business beautiful people
Thank you ☕️🙏🏽
Good jobs!
so good but why remove inside in joints u dont need to remove that
Otherwise the flange will anchor itself at the back of the flywheel and may cause a lot of hassle in getting the gearbox out.
Hi my friend...it's not to cold outside ???
What you save on fuel with diesel engines you lose twice on expensive repairs
2:43 why there is a hole? what can be accesed there?
That’s to access the back panel in case it needs to come out to replace end bearing from main shaft. Great idea
Why cut the flywheel like that ?
I suppose the emotional cut didn’t work. So I had to resort to a mechanical ⚙️ one ☝️🎄✨🍻😁
whats the most clutches youve done in a day?
No more than two a day. I’ve cut back to one a day now. I think I’ve nailed that work vs life balance.
