Sir You are an absolute genius. Thank you so much for making these kind of video's. I can not thank you enough 👍👍👍👍 And you girlfriend is very good at filming your work 👌 I have seen many video's where that was a big problem but she NAILED it 😎
My friend you are so good to make this video you have patients of a saint! also many thanks to your wife and matt and the making of this i was glued to it beginning to end!!
Hey man, I own a 2012 tdi jetta too! This video is WONDERFUL! I just hit 100k miles and i just bought a waterpump/ cambelt kit and a new clutch, i get a vacation coming up in August and i plan on doing both with the help of your videos. Wish me luck! With your very well done videos i doubt i will need any! :)
@@wawayltd Ive had good luck finding everything i'll need except that tool you used to clamp off the clutch hydrolic line. What is that called? Thanks again, you are great
watched from start to finish very informative hoping to replace clutch flywheel on my 1.9 pd130 bora pretty much the same gave me an idea on what I have to do only problem I don't have an helper 😔
Hi everyone Don’t make the mistake I made and replace the clutch and flywheel with a single mass flywheel. The 02Q 6 speed has steel synchros that fail very quickly without the dual mass taking up the vibration of the 4cyl diesel. Live and learn my transmission failed in 5000 miles. Also the 02q needs very thin oil. Around 7cp @ 100 deg cel. Thinner than redline MTL 75-80w. The only aftermarket oil that will work is Royal purple synchromax.
Wheels and motors. Thank you for the video. Do a search on all of the issues these transmissions have had with oil being too thick / single mass flywheels and synchros getting ate.
Just finished a dmf and clutch replacement on a 2.0tdi Seat Leon. This tutorial is great and helped a lot. For anyone wondering if its possible to carry out the work without an engine harness, the answer is yes! A block of wood atop a jack to support the engine will hold it in place just fine. Getting underneath is a little difficult with the jack in the way but you can get the clearance you need to do it. Good luck to anybody giving it a shot :)
grate video thanx .. i have 2004 1.9 tdi ford galaxy ,, need to change the clutch with a flywheel as well but cant find any video of it... all thou its 2.0 and sure younger car the gearbox loo0ks similar. will give it a shot
Big thanx for your reply. Can you drop a link for the clutch, the universal centering tool. The one you provided only takes me to ebey page only. Seems that it doesn’t work.
Wow what a video. I really enjoyed watching this the whole way through and learned a lot. I have a 2005 Golf TDI and while the DMF is still working it will need to be replaced at some point. Great filming by your wife as well, you two did a fantastic job. Highly appreciate the detailed and step by step video and good instructions. Subscribed !
Do it it in that configned space and with only the wifely helping is totatl respect for you. This and I know I have done it and would rather pay to have it done is a job weldone!
Octavia 2014 2.0 liter TDI manual gearbox (6 speeds) running about 266000 km, the problem happened suddenly the clutch pedal is sticking down, I need to raised it manually several time to engage the speeds. There is no leakage of fluid after the inspection. I tried to bleed air from the system, it needs to move the pedal and press it about 40 times to have a normal feeling, but the liquid comes out full of air bubbles (almost white in colour) from the breather. Is this a problem of the Pedal pump (Master cylinder)? or in the pump within the whole mechanics (Slave cylinder)? And could this happen for a breather problem? thank you
With the engine supported from the beam above, why not completely remove the sub-frame? Then you have easy access. If you have no sub-frame alignment tools, use lots of reference marks to identify where it goes back, right?
Sounds like a good idea, I might try it when I'll have to change clutch next time. But, I've never tried to remove subframe, don't know how easy or hard could it be - need to learn a bit about it. Of course dropping and lifting gearbox with no subframe would be much easier.
Thanks for the incredible detail of doing the clutch. I've been reviewing videos so I could do mine, but they all have been either partial tear down, or star wipe to it being installed. They would drop the transmission, then suddenly everything is off, missing what came off and what not. I appreciate it big time taking the time to show every step.
You can buy them from TPS, Euro Car Parts, GSF, Autodoc... I'm about to change clutch one more time (I've done it few times, the car is on 418.000 miles now). My recent clutch kit and dual-mass flywheel I ordered from Autodoc, costing me about £400. I forgot pressure bearing, I'll buy it locally. So all of it normally costs around £500.
Thank you so much for your video. I have looked at the whole thing and will have my laptop next to me tomorrow when I remove my transmission and change the slave cylinder. Thank you for people like you who can film such a big job. 👍😁😘
@@wawayltd I didn't have to take my gearbox out completely because I got to the slave cylinder anyway. But gosh, what a job it was. I admire those of you who took the whole box out. 😁😉
Wow! Thank you so much for the amazing detail and patience from you both. Specially thankful for showing even the stressful and frustrating areas of removal with such humor. Easy peasy!!! Great job!!!
Great video. I've recently done mine. New dual mass flywheel and clutch. I'm still getting a slight pulsation in the clutch pedal. Does your VW have this? Im not convinced its normal.
Diesel engine is quite rough anyway, that's nature of it. I think I also had those pulsations (I drive different car now), as long as it works - I don't really bother.
I pulled the whole front end off the Jetta, and then took the whole motor and box out. Old box was destroyed due to pressure plate failure. It dug a hole in the old transmission casing and caused fluid leaks. Replaced the box, and I'm currently waiting on my new pressure plate bolts
Well done !! What an effort in such a small garage. Brings back the memories. I wish they wouldn’t make it so hard for people. 9mm spline bolts... nobody has that. So you have to buy, use once and throw away years later.
Nice Job!👏🏻. question mate replace my nearside drive shaft recently had to separate wishbone and hub to get the shaft in. do I need a wheel alignment? as the leftside of my car is slightly higher and steering feels odd?
Thanks 😊👍🏻 Normally I would say - no need for alignment if it's just a new driveshaft, but from symptoms you described - I think it would be worth checking.
You're my hero. Really I mean it. Much thanks for your lovely supporting wife. I admire your. I & my wife enjoyed watching your videos. You did the impossible thing in my opinion to any one not in a workshop. Fahad
Thanks! The car in the video is on 420.000 miles now. Since then I replaced clutch 2 more times. Very last one I ordered it from Autodoc, flywheel was ok, but clutch kit wasn't suitable, so I ordered another one locally from GSF. In the future I'll be buying locally - GSF, Euros (with their discounts on "Click&Collect") or TPS. And my top priority - we have a good independent garage for VW parts in Bristol - VWS Car Parts.
Hello nice a job:) I have installed my clutch and tighten the m7 bolts to 13 nm instead of 20 nm ! Can you tell in your opinion is that could became a problem in future, thanks in advance:)
Wow.. Aleks, honestly I don't know. I hope it will be fine, but I can't promise. I know it's a big job to get back there. All I can say - I hope it's going to be OK.
+Vasile Mărîi Thank you :) For some reason UA-cam doesn't allow me to reply to your comment, so I just post it here. Flywheel seemed to be fine, although I don't know what is the exact procedure of checking it properly, but driving felt ok, like there is nothing wrong, no judder. I only had the noise while pressing and releasing clutch and originally I wanted to replace just clutch and release bearing. But, I didn't know what brand was my clutch and flywheel and I wanted to do it in one go, and considering my mileage (146.000 miles = 234963 km), the guy from VW car parts shop also told me the "stories" and convinced me to get new flywheel as well.
WheelsAndMotors In the UK we replace four times as many flywheels as anywhere else in Europe. A DMF is designed to last the life of the car. As is a clutch, but people abuse clutches through bad driving. Unless the flywheel is knocking, I don't replace. You need to raise car higher to remove gearbox, as the method you use of lowering gearboxe then engine risks bending input shaft
Paul Passat Thank you for your comment. I will blame the car parts store guy - he convinced me to replace flywheel, although there are some bad stories on Internet forums + I didn't know the brand and I wanted to do it in one go. I agree about lowering - perhaps I should have lower it as low as I can straight away. But unfortunately, size of my garage doesn't alow me to raise this Sharan any higher - that was max - it was sticking into top shelves with its roof railings :)
Props go out to you from the US, my man! :-) Fixing your work vehicle to get back out making money--my hat is off to you, sir! A lot of good "old-school" tips here. (thumbs up) Note to anyone reading that this is the same method more or less with VW Mk5+ Golf, Jetta, GTI, GLI, B6 Passat and EOS. Power tools optional as long as you know how to use them... ;-)
I was thinking this would be similar for my 2011 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 tdi with DSG automatic 6 speed. Torque specs and steps pretty much identical, is That’s correct? I also have a 2007 Volkswagen GTI manual. 🙂
Thank you for the nice video but you did 2 mistakes hit on the brake disc and fixing the driveshaft should be the outer joint the hub first than the inner side
Wow! Thank you for this comment! Why did I struggle and didn't think about that? So much easier to align splines when the other end is loose. I can't change the video now, but I will put it into description, also add this info to the website page about it. Thanks again! :)
Another great video of yours, thank you. One question, how was the flywheel? There are a lot of stories that DMF must be changed around 180k km but you did not mention anything about your old one. Thank you.
Just watched your video, well impressed with how you NEVER LOST YOUR TEMPER ,with that gearbox,your good lady n matt were needed at times, but you did it, and it was a very good watch. I am having mine done this week,with dodgy knees and being 63 yrs old ,i don't mind paying to have it done, I was just interested where 2 hours labour came from??? thanx to you i now know. Thanx for your video,it was a great watch,. And i have just subscribed to you channel,just to see what else of interest you have,cheers S
Thanks Kevin! Lost temper and failures can be eliminated with magic of video editing, however I admit - it was fun to do, and I'm glad if it helps someone 😊
Hi I used this video to help me replace the clutch and DMF on my passat B6 2.0 tdi ...getting the gearbox back in was tricky , I'm sure gearboxes have gotten heavier I use to lift them by hand when I did my fiesta and focus ...I suspect its just be me getting old though...very help full video ..thank you .
Another great video from you👍 tip: to block driveshaft for spinning on removing bolts, stick screwdriver in brake disc and let it lean on caliper bracket 😎
Great Detailed video :-) I have had my vw passat 2015 for about 4 month's now, when i bought it the car had a slight whine when pulling off from the clutch area sounds like the realease bearing under load only on hill starts. plus now the release bearing is very noisy, when i dip the clutch the noise goes? I have 6 months RAC warranty on the car, do you think this problem would be covered if not i will sort it myself. All the best
Sorry Jay, took me while to reply, and still I can't help you. I know how to change clutch, but I'm afraid I'm not that good with diagnosing symptoms. I would show it to some mechanic for advice.
Thank you very much for this great video. I did mine over the weekend along with my clunky driveshaft as it was coming off anyway. My only tip for anyone else going for it is that driveshafts come out inner first and go back in outer first. That way you can jam the disk to do the inner bolts. Also look up how to reset the gear linkage. Easy peasy. The great thing about following your video was that when I'd finished there were no leftover parts! Edit to say invest in a cheap impact wrench. I got one from Aldi. Removing the 2 drive shaft caps with a long 6mm allen bit on an impact wrench makes it so much easier. The gearbox will slide out after being turned about 30°. Mine had to come back out a few times to work out why it stopped working. Turned out one of the locator pins on the clutch had fallen out and jammed the spring after 100 miles! It was a bit hard to diagnose but I'm now an expert gearbox remover...
@@wawayltd I have done automatics transmissions Before never really manual. Was wondering if I only replace the transmission and not the clutch, do I have to worry about clutch adjustments or anything like that as far as you know? Thanks again!!
If you only replace gearbox clutch would stay as it is... I think so.. Depending on condition of your clutch, once you take gearbox off, there's an opportunity to replace clutch too. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with replacing just gearbox.
Very enjoyable and highly detailed video with half a kilo of humour thrown in for good measure. One tiny point the “tank” for the fluid is normally called a reservoir. Well done!
probably the first video of this type on youtube, where the mechanic really use his brain and bother with covering the intake pipe and airbox with some rubber :D :D in so many videos they absolutely don´t bother, even when it´s so important, especially when working outside under the sky :D
I just finished this job thanks for the inspiration. The hardest part for me was mating the gearbox back with the engine. After about 6 hrs of messing around it went in I cant remember how as I was so tired but relieved. I cant get 1st and 2nd gears very well but I think the shift linkage needs set up again. was going to do the EGR at the same time but another day as it still wasn't that much better access with the gearbox removed. Thanks again for a great video and commentary.
You're very welcome, glad if it helped! I had the same issue with the gear change. You're right, its the linkage, cables that come from selector, the one that you have to twist and turn to disconnect - as you connect it, push it in deeper.
Excellent video!! I need to replace my Dual mass Flywheel, on 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 2.0 DSG 6 speed automatic. Would this process be similar, including torque specs?
Yeah, it costs about 80 pounds.. If you planning to do this job just once, cost of tools needed can exceed cost of paying it to a mechanic. However, tools are good investment and it's good to have them for future.
SGS Engineering got mine for around £40 including next day delivery. Its really good quality. Better than clarke and cheaper. Just google SGS Engineering website and youll find it there
Hi there! DEFINITELY THE MOST DETAILLED WORK ON CLUTCH ONE CAN FIND!!! First of, good job ! and yes you are a guy with great patience, because even if you keep on saying " easy " , it was a struggle to put down the gearbox , but it was your first attempt too ! , So now thanks to you we know we have to rotate the gearbox upward before droppping it! You make our life much simplier with your printable pdf version ! GOD BLESS YOU! IT WILL BE FOR US LIKE A KIND OF BIBLE (OR CORAN OR TORAH ) for doing clutches! Could you tell me How far did you tilt your engine to the side (15 ° ??? ) Could you tell me How much clearance do we need between the bottom of the gear box and the floor so we can pull horizontally the gearbox once on the floor (40 cm mini clearance?) ? Again your video will be seen millions times, because like i said , there is no such a detailed step by step guide! Take care you and your favorite helper (your wife) Bye! :-)
Dear Farid thank you very much for all these nice words! I don't think I would be able to tell exact measurements, like degrees of engine tilt. When I lift the engine - I look how far I can lift so I don't brake anything, when I lower it, I think it was as far as engine support beam allowed me and of course look around as you have things that are still connected and sticking out of the engine. As for lifting the car, I have 2 trolley jacks that have maximum hight of 52cm. I didn't lift them to the maximum - if I do my garage hight will not allow me open bonnet. The higher you can get is the better. That jack adaptor you see in the video is too high and didn't allow me to simply lower gearbox that's why I had to improvise. The trickiest part is put the gearbox back - you definitely need a second person. The car in the video is on 422.000 miles now. By now I have replaced clutch 2 more times. When I did second time, I removed subframe (I have a video about subframe too). It was advised by someone in comments. There was much more space for moving gearbox around and you don't need to play "tetris". However on my third time I decided that removing subframe doesn't give as much advantage as it gives extra hassle. And few more things. When you put driveshaft back into wheel hub, all that hitting you see in the video with a hammer is not necessary. I'm going to cut it out. Simply move brake disc up and down to align splines. Also on my last clutch change I ordered parts from AutoDoc. Flywheel was ok, but the clutch pressure plate and friction disc where wrong. When I fitted it I didn't pay attention that it was too tight fit, I reassembled everything to find out that clutch doesn't work. So I had great pleasure to do clutch twice in 2 days as I bought correct parts locally from GSF. Don't do my mistake - make sure parts are correct! When you reconnect gear selector cables, that connection that you twist and turn - make sure you put it in all the way, otherwise gear selection won't be as smooth. When you done - try it first with wheels off the ground. I'm glad I did it when I fitted wrong clutch. Good luck! It's a bit fiddly, but it's doable (not a rocket science 😉)
Awsome guide. I just finished replacing a clutch on a 2012 VW Caddy Maxi and this guide was a big help. However on my Caddy there was no need to losen stearing or lower ball joint. I just losend the centerbolt on the wheelhub and then removed all inner bolts on the drive shaft. It was then very easy to remove the drive shaft. Just lift the inner end up and tap gently on the outer end. The entire job took about 12 hours to complete. Most painful was the get the gearbox back in. I have no special tools and used a peice of wood to support the engine and gearbox from the top. Thank you and yout wife for affort on producing this great guide.
You're very welcome Johnny! What a coincidence, I also just replaced clutch for another time for this Sharan (he's on 420.000 miles now). I had a pain to do it twice in a row! On Tuesday I fitted new clutch and flywheel, put it back together just to find out that I'm not going anywhere because clutch isn't working! Next day I took it apart again and realised that clutch kit was wrong, got another one from GSF, luckily flywheel was correct... Two days - two clutches! I'm in pain now 🤪
Your videos are always a great help! I am fitting a cluch tomorrow do the adjuster springs need to be fully compressed or ok like yours straight out the box? Cheers
Thanks for making this excellent video! My car is a Passat B8 65 plate,but I think its very similar.I'm looking forward to watching your timing belt video too. Great work,I learned a lot! Best wishes from Paul.C.🤩
If your car is Euro 6 (engine number starts with "D") then it's a little different and tools required are also different. I have Euro 6 Skoda 1.6tdi When it will come to cambelt change - I'll make a video on that as well.
Thank you for this info,I will be sure to check everything carefully first. It's a 2 Ltr TDI,business edition, fantastic car.Clutch is OK at the moment,110,000 miles on the clock,so when the time comes I'll be ready with the spanners. Well done and thanks again.👍🤩
Hi. Where did you bought your clutch kit and how did you figure out if it is actually for your car? I am looking to buy a complete clutch kit for my Audi A6 2.0 TDI so I can replace it myself and don't know where to order it from. It is actually hard to find any information about clutches for my car.
I bought it from one local (Bristol, UK) VW Garage (not dealership) that also sells parts. Normally any part supplier provides information whether their parts are compatible to your particular car.
Thank you :) I don't think there's a big difference with Touran, providing it' manual and depends what year it is. I have a comment below where someone saying that he changed clutch on his VW Golf Mk5.
Great detailed video, I found this while searching for dual mass for my vw mk6 1.6 tdi golf and guess it pretty much the same to do, really impressed, thanks very much for taking the time to film this
Hi buddy I have (2014 volkswagen passat 2.0l TDI, Automatic transmission DSG )when I warm up the car and start driving 2gear,3,gear kinda loud rattle sound, 4, or 5 gear light sounds.( rattle sound coming from turbo or engine). But not sure where coming from. No Check engine, or No any light On.
Thanks 👍 I believe it should be pretty similar if your Golf has manual gearbox. However, I don't have that much experience, so I can't say how much similar, sorry. Your gearbox must be 5-speed on 1.6tdi, probably (my Sharan was 6). Still, it should be pretty similar.
hey thanks a tonne for this video. I just had my clutch and DMF replaced the second time in 6000km. The previous one installed by the garage here had an issue where I used to get clunking when getting on and off the throttle in 2nd and a very light shuddering when letting of the clutch. However, even post replacement, the sound is back. My car is on its third Flywheel. it's a Jetta 2.0 TDI 6-speed manual. Originally had a Sachs flywheel and clutch kit. Later installed a LUK flywheel and clutch kit. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Sorry, don't even know how to help you there. Is it a clutch fault, if replacement doesn't help? If it's a clutch, and it's installed correctly, maybe it could warranty case? I have no idea, sorry.. Try to speak to a mechanic.
Hi there i have an Audi a5 3.0 tdi Quattro. I have an excessive vibration in the cabin of the car. I took it to one garage and they told me all i need to do is change the engine mounts, i also took it to another garage and they said not only do i have to change the engine mounts but i have to change the dual mass fly wheel as well. When i turn the ac on, the car revs goes from 610 to 910 and the vibrations stops completely until the ac is turned off again. Do you think this could be a problem with the dual mass fly wheel. Many thanks !!!!!! Please get back to me asap before i waste a lot of money !! P.S the engine sounds completely the same when i engage and dis engage the clutch.
Sorry Sen, took me while to reply, for some reason UA-cam has put it into "Spam" folder. When I had trouble with my dual mass flywheel in my previous car Audi, it gave judder when moving off. 610rpm looks like low rpm to me, although I don't have experience with 3.0 V6, maybe their idle is different. On 2.0 it's about 800 and 1000 when regenerating DPF. I can't say what causes vibrations on a base of all I know - is you are getting vibrations :) Maybe something to do with those low rpm's? Did anybody scan it for any faults in diagnostics?
WheelsAndMotors Hi again. Do i have had the had the dual mass fly wheel changed and there are no codes coming up. The car has also had a full service recently. I had the idle turned up to the max it can which is 800 rmp but it still only reads at 730. Not really sure what to do next? Any ideas ? Thanks sen
Sen Scherbakoff So you have changed dual mass flywheel, but vibrations still coming? That garage also can be right about engine mounts.. But I don't know, because I can't see their condition from here. By the way - I didn't know that they do 3.0 tdi with manual gearbox. If we are talking about clutch - your car is manual, right? Also codes - I'm not talking only about OBD codes, I mean full system scan. Is that what was done?
Sen Scherbakoff I don't know how to help you mate, it needs to be seen. My friend has a 14 plate Galaxy, and he had vibrations.. Yes! And when he had to put AC on it also gave change. The solution for that appeared to be bad alternator pulley. It just made me thinking. If AC on and off makes difference, I would look somewhere within auxiliary belt - alternator, AC compressor, power steering pump...
I've got a Golf Mk4 1.9tdi for my mechanical experiments. In couple months time I'm thinking to make a turbo video. Can't play with my Sharan too much, unless it's really necessary, because I need it every day for my work.
You see, I have to give priority to my workhorse - Sharan. Because currently it's my breadwinner. It has to go through very strict taxi MOT next week. Whatever it will come out with, needs to be fixed asap. Have to do rear brakes, too just before MOT. So my next video will be rear brakes on Sharan. Considering that it takes a bit of time to process, edit the video then on the base of the video create manual with all images for my website... while taxiing 7 days a week.. That's why my videos take ages to come out. But we'll get there eventually :)
I pulled mine today. I had only watched half your video and not to the part of having to rotate the differential end up counterclockwise. I put a high reach hydraulic jack under the diff end and rolled it up. Then wiggled it out. To put in tomorrow I will rig off the Engine crossmember brace similar to how you did and lift it straight up with a small chain come along. My transmission jack was basically worthless lol. Glad I’m a union millwright and know how to rig loads into tight spots. I’m going back in with a CR170 clutch and flywheel from Europe. It’s the strongest dual mass setup available. Thanx again for the video!
Hello my friend. Thnx a lot for you ur videos. You help me very much with my engine. Stay home and see your videos like see movies. About my engine. When my engine is on without speed I hear a noise from the gear box but when i push the clutch the noise stops. When i drive i hear the noise again but very low noise. Is this noise from the pressure bearing you change from the gear box
What a fantastic video. By far the best "how to" I've come across for just about anything! This weekend I'm going to attempt to replace the slave cylinder on my 4-Motion Tiguan with the help of a friend or two.
@@wawayltd I thought "easy peasy" but no! My drive shafts have metal covers over the area where yours have the bolts exposed. Any ideas? Mine is a 2008 Tiguan 4-Motion.
Thanks for a great step by step instructions on DSG removal. Have you changed your Rear Main Seal before? Looks like your main seal has the crank sensor built into seal.
I don't know about taxi driver you should be a mechanic. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. It has helped me a lot.
I'm too slow for a mecahnic 😁
You're very welcome 👍
Wow, this is perfectly executed. Nice close-ups, excellent commentary. Thanks!
Thanks Peter! 😊
True!

And you girlfriend is very good at filming your work 👌 I have seen many video's where that was a big problem but she NAILED it 😎
Thanks Dani 🙂👍
My friend you are so good to make this video you have patients of a saint! also many thanks to your wife and matt and the making of this i was glued to it beginning to end!!
Wow! Thank you :) Such a pleasure to see this appreciation.
this is the best how to video on a clutch on youtube from the start to the end , AMAZING 👍👍👍👍👌
Thanks Tim, check the website too 😊👍
Hey man, I own a 2012 tdi jetta too! This video is WONDERFUL! I just hit 100k miles and i just bought a waterpump/ cambelt kit and a new clutch, i get a vacation coming up in August and i plan on doing both with the help of your videos. Wish me luck! With your very well done videos i doubt i will need any! :)
Oh yeah, once you get on - it's not that scary. You're welcome 👍

Thanks 😊👍
You don’t realise how help you are thank you a thousand times
Thank you :)
Best video I've found so far on clutch and flywheel replacement :-D thanks for sharing!
Thanks :)
Thank you, extremely detailed very helpful
You're very welcome!
watched from start to finish very informative hoping to replace clutch flywheel on my 1.9 pd130 bora pretty much the same gave me an idea on what I have to do only problem I don't have an helper 😔
Good luck with your clutch Dave... and helper ;)
Hi mate I really appreciate your video and I love how you put the bolts back so you don't lose them lol
Thanks Mr Hacker :) Glad if it helps..
Hi everyone
Don’t make the mistake I made and replace the clutch and flywheel with a single mass flywheel. The 02Q 6 speed has steel synchros that fail very quickly without the dual mass taking up the vibration of the 4cyl diesel. Live and learn my transmission failed in 5000 miles. Also the 02q needs very thin oil. Around 7cp @ 100 deg cel. Thinner than redline MTL 75-80w. The only aftermarket oil that will work is Royal purple synchromax.
Thanks for your input. Valuable info - I didn't know about the oil..
Wheels and motors. Thank you for the video. Do a search on all of the issues these transmissions have had with oil being too thick / single mass flywheels and synchros getting ate.
Just finished a dmf and clutch replacement on a 2.0tdi Seat Leon. This tutorial is great and helped a lot. For anyone wondering if its possible to carry out the work without an engine harness, the answer is yes! A block of wood atop a jack to support the engine will hold it in place just fine. Getting underneath is a little difficult with the jack in the way but you can get the clearance you need to do it. Good luck to anybody giving it a shot :)
I think I'm going to do what you did too. I really don't feel like buying an engine harness I can't find anywhere to rent
Easy peasy! what a lovely chap - you should be a teacher! Calm, positive and softly spoken. Very inspirational video, with great detail. Thank you
Thanks 👍
That's the power of video editing 😁
Did everything go ok now its been some time, i have the same problem and researching doing it my self
That clutch by now has done more than 100.000 miles and still feels ok.
grate video thanx .. i have 2004 1.9 tdi ford galaxy ,, need to change the clutch with a flywheel as well but cant find any video of it... all thou its 2.0 and sure younger car the gearbox loo0ks similar. will give it a shot
Yeah, it's not the same car, but the idea must be pretty similar.
Big thanx for your reply. Can you drop a link for the clutch, the universal centering tool. The one you provided only takes me to ebey page only. Seems that it doesn’t work.
Please try this link for the tool that I used:

Wow what a video. I really enjoyed watching this the whole way through and learned a lot. I have a 2005 Golf TDI and while the DMF is still working it will need to be replaced at some point. Great filming by your wife as well, you two did a fantastic job. Highly appreciate the detailed and step by step video and good instructions. Subscribed !
Thanks Alex 😎👍
Do it it in that configned space and with only the wifely helping is totatl respect for you. This and I know I have done it and would rather pay to have it done is a job weldone!
Thank You very much 😷👍
utterly brilliant.
Thanks Stephen 👍 I also have full description with images and torque values on website 😉
good job thank you. I would like to know the approximate weight of this gearbox
Sorry, don't know, I didn't try just to lift it, it's pretty heavy.. but I can't say even approximately.
The link to buy the sockets is not available, does anybody know where to buy the TRIPLE SQUARE SOCKETS??????
Octavia 2014 2.0 liter TDI manual gearbox (6 speeds) running about 266000 km, the problem happened suddenly the clutch pedal is sticking down, I need to raised it manually several time to engage the speeds. There is no leakage of fluid after the inspection.
I tried to bleed air from the system, it needs to move the pedal and press it about 40 times to have a normal feeling, but the liquid comes out full of air bubbles (almost white in colour) from the breather.
Is this a problem of the Pedal pump (Master cylinder)? or in the pump within the whole mechanics (Slave cylinder)? And could this happen for a breather problem? thank you
Wow, that's out of my league, sorry.
With the engine supported from the beam above, why not completely remove the sub-frame? Then you have easy access. If you have no sub-frame alignment tools, use lots of reference marks to identify where it goes back, right?
Sounds like a good idea, I might try it when I'll have to change clutch next time. But, I've never tried to remove subframe, don't know how easy or hard could it be - need to learn a bit about it. Of course dropping and lifting gearbox with no subframe would be much easier.
Thanks for the incredible detail of doing the clutch. I've been reviewing videos so I could do mine, but they all have been either partial tear down, or star wipe to it being installed. They would drop the transmission, then suddenly everything is off, missing what came off and what not. I appreciate it big time taking the time to show every step.
Thanks Tony, glad if it helps someone :)
V nice video! It must have taken hours to do! How much is a clutch like that cost and where did u buy it from please?
You can buy them from TPS, Euro Car Parts, GSF, Autodoc... I'm about to change clutch one more time (I've done it few times, the car is on 418.000 miles now). My recent clutch kit and dual-mass flywheel I ordered from Autodoc, costing me about £400. I forgot pressure bearing, I'll buy it locally. So all of it normally costs around £500.
You have tenacity , that was some job , well done .
Thanks 😎👍
Thank you! Your video was very helpful when I replaced the clutch. I saved a lot of money!! I am very grateful for your help.
You're very welcome 👍
Thank you so much for your video. I have looked at the whole thing and will have my laptop next to me tomorrow when I remove my transmission and change the slave cylinder. Thank you for people like you who can film such a big job. 👍😁😘
You're welcome 👍
@@wawayltd I didn't have to take my gearbox out completely because I got to the slave cylinder anyway. But gosh, what a job it was. I admire those of you who took the whole box out. 😁😉
Good exercise 💪
you have one heck of a good helper
I knew what I was doing 13 years ago ;)
Wow! Thank you so much for the amazing detail and patience from you both. Specially thankful for showing even the stressful and frustrating areas of removal with such humor. Easy peasy!!! Great job!!!
Thanks Ray :)
Great video. I've recently done mine. New dual mass flywheel and clutch. I'm still getting a slight pulsation in the clutch pedal. Does your VW have this? Im not convinced its normal.
Diesel engine is quite rough anyway, that's nature of it. I think I also had those pulsations (I drive different car now), as long as it works - I don't really bother.
I pulled the whole front end off the Jetta, and then took the whole motor and box out.
Old box was destroyed due to pressure plate failure. It dug a hole in the old transmission casing and caused fluid leaks.
Replaced the box, and I'm currently waiting on my new pressure plate bolts
Wow! Sorry you have such a disaster..
Hi, great video, may i ask if this is the same thing for automatic sharan 2.0l as ive just been quoted £2300 from a VW Dealer!!!? thanks
Unfortunately it's not the same for automatic, sorry. Automatic (DSG) are more complicated and I have no experience with them.
Well done !! What an effort in such a small garage. Brings back the memories.
I wish they wouldn’t make it so hard for people. 9mm spline bolts... nobody has that. So you have to buy, use once and throw away years later.
Thanks Roy :) As for tools - I'm a bit obsessed with them. love to collect them anyway :)
Throw away? Never!
Nice Job!👏🏻. question mate replace my nearside drive shaft recently had to separate wishbone and hub to get the shaft in. do I need a wheel alignment? as the leftside of my car is slightly higher and steering feels odd?
Thanks 😊👍🏻 Normally I would say - no need for alignment if it's just a new driveshaft, but from symptoms you described - I think it would be worth checking.
is this the same procedure for the VW Golf MK5 TDI with 2.0 BKD motor?
Probably more like this:

You're my hero. Really I mean it.
Much thanks for your lovely supporting wife. I admire your. I & my wife enjoyed watching your videos. You did the impossible thing in my opinion to any one not in a workshop.
Fahad
Thank You Fahad! Pleasure to see such appreciation :)
Hahahhaha was just showing my misses - he's my hero too 😂😂😂
Where did you purchase your replacement clutch kit and flywheel@ Excellent video btw
Thanks! The car in the video is on 420.000 miles now. Since then I replaced clutch 2 more times.
Very last one I ordered it from Autodoc, flywheel was ok, but clutch kit wasn't suitable, so I ordered another one locally from GSF. In the future I'll be buying locally - GSF, Euros (with their discounts on "Click&Collect") or TPS. And my top priority - we have a good independent garage for VW parts in Bristol - VWS Car Parts.
Hello nice a job:) I have installed my clutch and tighten the m7 bolts to 13 nm instead of 20 nm ! Can you tell in your opinion is that could became a problem in future, thanks in advance:)
Wow.. Aleks, honestly I don't know. I hope it will be fine, but I can't promise. I know it's a big job to get back there. All I can say - I hope it's going to be OK.
@@wawayltd Thanks
+Vasile Mărîi Thank you :) For some reason UA-cam doesn't allow me to reply to your comment, so I just post it here. Flywheel seemed to be fine, although I don't know what is the exact procedure of checking it properly, but driving felt ok, like there is nothing wrong, no judder. I only had the noise while pressing and releasing clutch and originally I wanted to replace just clutch and release bearing. But, I didn't know what brand was my clutch and flywheel and I wanted to do it in one go, and considering my mileage (146.000 miles = 234963 km), the guy from VW car parts shop also told me the "stories" and convinced me to get new flywheel as well.
WheelsAndMotors In the UK we replace four times as many flywheels as anywhere else in Europe. A DMF is designed to last the life of the car. As is a clutch, but people abuse clutches through bad driving. Unless the flywheel is knocking, I don't replace. You need to raise car higher to remove gearbox, as the method you use of lowering gearboxe then engine risks bending input shaft
Paul Passat Thank you for your comment. I will blame the car parts store guy - he convinced me to replace flywheel, although there are some bad stories on Internet forums + I didn't know the brand and I wanted to do it in one go.
I agree about lowering - perhaps I should have lower it as low as I can straight away. But unfortunately, size of my garage doesn't alow me to raise this Sharan any higher - that was max - it was sticking into top shelves with its roof railings :)
Thanks for an informative & motivating video. Going to do my flywheel soon. Cheers.
Thanks Craig :) I'll make some more about that car.
Great video. Big thanks man
Thanks :)
Props go out to you from the US, my man! :-) Fixing your work vehicle to get back out making money--my hat is off to you, sir! A lot of good "old-school" tips here. (thumbs up) Note to anyone reading that this is the same method more or less with VW Mk5+ Golf, Jetta, GTI, GLI, B6 Passat and EOS. Power tools optional as long as you know how to use them... ;-)
Thanks 😊👍
I was thinking this would be similar for my 2011 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 tdi with DSG automatic 6 speed. Torque specs and steps pretty much identical, is That’s correct? I also have a 2007 Volkswagen GTI manual. 🙂
DSG is different, maybe you take gearbox off in a similar way, but the rest is very different.
Good job brother. Much respect. This is what the internet is for.
Thanks Mike :)
Thank you so much for making this video, it made removing my gearbox alot easier and was extremely informative and helpful!
You're very welcome ☺
Thank you for the nice video but you did 2 mistakes hit on the brake disc and fixing the driveshaft should be the outer joint the hub first than the inner side
Wow! Thank you for this comment! Why did I struggle and didn't think about that? So much easier to align splines when the other end is loose. I can't change the video now, but I will put it into description, also add this info to the website page about it. Thanks again! :)
Another great video of yours, thank you.
One question, how was the flywheel? There are a lot of stories that DMF must be changed around 180k km but you did not mention anything about your old one.
Thank you.
Great video got to appreciate how much effort you have put in to making this video.
Thank you :) There will be more...
Just watched your video, well impressed with how you NEVER LOST YOUR TEMPER ,with that gearbox,your good lady n matt were needed at times, but you did it, and it was a very good watch.
I am having mine done this week,with dodgy knees and being 63 yrs old ,i don't mind paying to have it done,
I was just interested where 2 hours labour came from??? thanx to you i now know.
Thanx for your video,it was a great watch,.
And i have just subscribed to you channel,just to see what else of interest you have,cheers S
Thanks Kevin! Lost temper and failures can be eliminated with magic of video editing, however I admit - it was fun to do, and I'm glad if it helps someone 😊
Hi I used this video to help me replace the clutch and DMF on my passat B6 2.0 tdi ...getting the gearbox back in was tricky , I'm sure gearboxes have gotten heavier I use to lift them by hand when I did my fiesta and focus ...I suspect its just be me getting old though...very help full video ..thank you .
You're very welcome 😊. Maybe that's because Fiesta and Focus had smaller gearboxes... Don't know.
Glad if it helps 👍
Another great video from you👍 tip: to block driveshaft for spinning on removing bolts, stick screwdriver in brake disc and let it lean on caliper bracket 😎
Thanks for good advice. I was struggling with those bolts :)
Good thinking! 👍
Great Detailed video :-)
I have had my vw passat 2015 for about 4 month's now, when i bought it the car had a slight whine when pulling off from the clutch area sounds like the realease bearing under load only on hill starts. plus now the release bearing is very noisy, when i dip the clutch the noise goes?
I have 6 months RAC warranty on the car, do you think this problem would be covered if not i will sort it myself.
All the best
Sorry Jay, took me while to reply, and still I can't help you. I know how to change clutch, but I'm afraid I'm not that good with diagnosing symptoms. I would show it to some mechanic for advice.
Thank you very much for this great video. I did mine over the weekend along with my clunky driveshaft as it was coming off anyway.
My only tip for anyone else going for it is that driveshafts come out inner first and go back in outer first. That way you can jam the disk to do the inner bolts.
Also look up how to reset the gear linkage. Easy peasy.
The great thing about following your video was that when I'd finished there were no leftover parts!
Edit to say invest in a cheap impact wrench. I got one from Aldi. Removing the 2 drive shaft caps with a long 6mm allen bit on an impact wrench makes it so much easier. The gearbox will slide out after being turned about 30°. Mine had to come back out a few times to work out why it stopped working. Turned out one of the locator pins on the clutch had fallen out and jammed the spring after 100 miles! It was a bit hard to diagnose but I'm now an expert gearbox remover...
Thanks 👍 And Thanks for the advice!
Great video !!!... Great information !!..
Thanks Tommy 👍
Is this the same procedure for 2012 golf TDI ?? Thank you so much! Appreciate you!
Not sure if it's exactly same, but should be fairly similar.
@@wawayltd I have done automatics transmissions Before never really manual. Was wondering if I only replace the transmission and not the clutch, do I have to worry about clutch adjustments or anything like that as far as you know? Thanks again!!
If you only replace gearbox clutch would stay as it is... I think so.. Depending on condition of your clutch, once you take gearbox off, there's an opportunity to replace clutch too. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with replacing just gearbox.
Very enjoyable and highly detailed video with half a kilo of humour thrown in for good measure. One tiny point the “tank” for the fluid is normally called a reservoir. Well done!
Thanks David 👍
"Reservoir" is too French for me 😁
I need to master English first 🤓
Just keep on with your sense of humour. Best tool in life
Was thinking the same thing when he paused 😅
Amazing!!!! Perfect job!!!! Congratulations!! FREEDOM lol.
Thank you :)
One of the best vidios I have seen ,thank you so much for that my friend 😀👍
You're very welcome Big Lion - glad if it helps :)
probably the first video of this type on youtube, where the mechanic really use his brain and bother with covering the intake pipe and airbox with some rubber :D :D in so many videos they absolutely don´t bother, even when it´s so important, especially when working outside under the sky :D
Thanks! Maybe just because I'm not really a mechanic 😁
Thank you.
You're both the best. I really appreciate your Work.
Greetings from Germany. Keep going.
Yes Freeeeedom.
Thank you Osman 😊👍
Well done the best detailed video I have seen. thank you.
You're welcome 👍 Please check the website as well.
I just finished this job thanks for the inspiration. The hardest part for me was mating the gearbox back with the engine. After about 6 hrs of messing around it went in I cant remember how as I was so tired but relieved. I cant get 1st and 2nd gears very well but I think the shift linkage needs set up again. was going to do the EGR at the same time but another day as it still wasn't that much better access with the gearbox removed. Thanks again for a great video and commentary.
You're very welcome, glad if it helped! I had the same issue with the gear change. You're right, its the linkage, cables that come from selector, the one that you have to twist and turn to disconnect - as you connect it, push it in deeper.
Great mechanic and video,details matter.
I'm not really a mechanic, but thanks 🙃
Excellent video!! I need to replace my Dual mass Flywheel, on 2011 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 2.0 DSG 6 speed automatic. Would this process be similar, including torque specs?
splin or spline whatever they cold my guy
😁
really want to do this job on my golf but the cost of an engine crane is so much.
Yeah, it costs about 80 pounds.. If you planning to do this job just once, cost of tools needed can exceed cost of paying it to a mechanic. However, tools are good investment and it's good to have them for future.
SGS Engineering got mine for around £40 including next day delivery. Its really good quality. Better than clarke and cheaper. Just google SGS Engineering website and youll find it there
Hi there!
DEFINITELY THE MOST DETAILLED WORK ON CLUTCH ONE CAN FIND!!!
First of, good job ! and yes you are a guy with great patience, because even if you keep on saying " easy " , it was a struggle to put down the gearbox , but it was your first attempt too ! ,
So now thanks to you we know we have to rotate the gearbox upward before droppping it!
You make our life much simplier with your printable pdf version ! GOD BLESS YOU! IT WILL BE FOR US LIKE A KIND OF BIBLE (OR CORAN OR TORAH ) for doing clutches!
Could you tell me How far did you tilt your engine to the side (15 ° ??? )
Could you tell me How much clearance do we need between the bottom of the gear box and the floor so we can pull horizontally the gearbox once on the floor (40 cm mini clearance?) ?
Again your video will be seen millions times, because like i said , there is no such a detailed step by step guide!
Take care you and your favorite helper (your wife)
Bye!
:-)
Dear Farid thank you very much for all these nice words!
I don't think I would be able to tell exact measurements, like degrees of engine tilt. When I lift the engine - I look how far I can lift so I don't brake anything, when I lower it, I think it was as far as engine support beam allowed me and of course look around as you have things that are still connected and sticking out of the engine.
As for lifting the car, I have 2 trolley jacks that have maximum hight of 52cm. I didn't lift them to the maximum - if I do my garage hight will not allow me open bonnet. The higher you can get is the better. That jack adaptor you see in the video is too high and didn't allow me to simply lower gearbox that's why I had to improvise.
The trickiest part is put the gearbox back - you definitely need a second person.
The car in the video is on 422.000 miles now. By now I have replaced clutch 2 more times. When I did second time, I removed subframe (I have a video about subframe too). It was advised by someone in comments. There was much more space for moving gearbox around and you don't need to play "tetris". However on my third time I decided that removing subframe doesn't give as much advantage as it gives extra hassle.
And few more things. When you put driveshaft back into wheel hub, all that hitting you see in the video with a hammer is not necessary. I'm going to cut it out. Simply move brake disc up and down to align splines.
Also on my last clutch change I ordered parts from AutoDoc. Flywheel was ok, but the clutch pressure plate and friction disc where wrong. When I fitted it I didn't pay attention that it was too tight fit, I reassembled everything to find out that clutch doesn't work. So I had great pleasure to do clutch twice in 2 days as I bought correct parts locally from GSF.
Don't do my mistake - make sure parts are correct!
When you reconnect gear selector cables, that connection that you twist and turn - make sure you put it in all the way, otherwise gear selection won't be as smooth.
When you done - try it first with wheels off the ground. I'm glad I did it when I fitted wrong clutch.
Good luck! It's a bit fiddly, but it's doable (not a rocket science 😉)
@@wawayltd thanks so much for your time with all these precious details. Take care
Brillaimt video has been much help
Thanks 👍 4 days of filming 😁
You sir are a PERFECT TEACHER.
Well done! Does anyone know how different removing a DSG would be from the manual gearbox?
I believe actual removing would be pretty similar, but gearbox is very different - clutch stays on gearbox side.
Awsome guide. I just finished replacing a clutch on a 2012 VW Caddy Maxi and this guide was a big help. However on my Caddy there was no need to losen stearing or lower ball joint. I just losend the centerbolt on the wheelhub and then removed all inner bolts on the drive shaft. It was then very easy to remove the drive shaft. Just lift the inner end up and tap gently on the outer end. The entire job took about 12 hours to complete. Most painful was the get the gearbox back in. I have no special tools and used a peice of wood to support the engine and gearbox from the top. Thank you and yout wife for affort on producing this great guide.
You're very welcome Johnny! What a coincidence, I also just replaced clutch for another time for this Sharan (he's on 420.000 miles now). I had a pain to do it twice in a row! On Tuesday I fitted new clutch and flywheel, put it back together just to find out that I'm not going anywhere because clutch isn't working!
Next day I took it apart again and realised that clutch kit was wrong, got another one from GSF, luckily flywheel was correct... Two days - two clutches! I'm in pain now 🤪
@@wawayltd Damn, I feel your pain brother, hang in there =)
need to put on the threaded bolts locking sealant which goes to the clutch pressure plate. well thank you
Thanks for the advice 👍
Thank you for this video. I changed my gearbox on my mk6 golf gt tdi thanks to you! The who'll process is the same as your Sharan!
You're very welcome Javaid, glad if it helps 😊👍
Good job and an excellent video tutorial/guide, thank you🙏!💪👍
You're welcome! Please check relevant info on my website (link in description)
Before my clutch collapsed I had "birds chirping". Flywheel or clutch? Everything happened before 25000 km ( Audi quality)!
K tool is the 9mm 12 point socket ...
Oh yeah - that IS crafty :)
Your videos are always a great help! I am fitting a cluch tomorrow do the adjuster springs need to be fully compressed or ok like yours straight out the box? Cheers
Thanks for making this excellent video!
My car is a Passat B8 65 plate,but I think its very similar.I'm looking forward to watching your timing belt video too.
Great work,I learned a lot!
Best wishes from Paul.C.🤩
If your car is Euro 6 (engine number starts with "D") then it's a little different and tools required are also different. I have Euro 6 Skoda 1.6tdi When it will come to cambelt change - I'll make a video on that as well.
Thank you for this info,I will be sure to check everything carefully first.
It's a 2 Ltr TDI,business edition, fantastic car.Clutch is OK at the moment,110,000 miles on the clock,so when the time comes I'll be ready with the spanners.
Well done and thanks again.👍🤩
Ops. Sorry mate, I thought we are talking about cambelt video.. 😁
Yeah, clutch should be fairly similar.
Great video, keep up the good work
Thanks
Great video! Extremely helpful! My favourite bit was "....and see our friend clunge" lool
Thanks Rhys :)
1:57:45 aghhhhh
Hi. Where did you bought your clutch kit and how did you figure out if it is actually for your car? I am looking to buy a complete clutch kit for my Audi A6 2.0 TDI so I can replace it myself and don't know where to order it from. It is actually hard to find any information about clutches for my car.
I bought it from one local (Bristol, UK) VW Garage (not dealership) that also sells parts. Normally any part supplier provides information whether their parts are compatible to your particular car.
Hi
Cars vw touran There is no difference thank you and his wife I wish you a happy life
Thank you :) I don't think there's a big difference with Touran, providing it' manual and depends what year it is. I have a comment below where someone saying that he changed clutch on his VW Golf Mk5.
Great detailed video, I found this while searching for dual mass for my vw mk6 1.6 tdi golf and guess it pretty much the same to do, really impressed, thanks very much for taking the time to film this
You're very welcome :)
Hi buddy
I have (2014 volkswagen passat 2.0l TDI, Automatic transmission DSG )when I warm up the car and start driving 2gear,3,gear kinda loud rattle sound, 4, or 5 gear light sounds.( rattle sound coming from turbo or engine). But not sure where coming from.
No Check engine, or No any light On.
Sorry my friend, I have no experience with DSG yet. As for rattle, I think your car needs to be seen. I can't say like that - I'm not even a mechanic.
Thanks very comprehensive, would you know if the vw golf plus 1.6tdi similar? So much of the video appears very relevant
Thanks 👍 I believe it should be pretty similar if your Golf has manual gearbox. However, I don't have that much experience, so I can't say how much similar, sorry. Your gearbox must be 5-speed on 1.6tdi, probably (my Sharan was 6). Still, it should be pretty similar.
hey thanks a tonne for this video. I just had my clutch and DMF replaced the second time in 6000km. The previous one installed by the garage here had an issue where I used to get clunking when getting on and off the throttle in 2nd and a very light shuddering when letting of the clutch. However, even post replacement, the sound is back. My car is on its third Flywheel. it's a Jetta 2.0 TDI 6-speed manual. Originally had a Sachs flywheel and clutch kit. Later installed a LUK flywheel and clutch kit. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
Sorry, don't even know how to help you there. Is it a clutch fault, if replacement doesn't help? If it's a clutch, and it's installed correctly, maybe it could warranty case?
I have no idea, sorry.. Try to speak to a mechanic.
Hi there i have an Audi a5 3.0 tdi Quattro. I have an excessive vibration in the cabin of the car. I took it to one garage and they told me all i need to do is change the engine mounts, i also took it to another garage and they said not only do i have to change the engine mounts but i have to change the dual mass fly wheel as well. When i turn the ac on, the car revs goes from 610 to 910 and the vibrations stops completely until the ac is turned off again. Do you think this could be a problem with the dual mass fly wheel. Many thanks !!!!!! Please get back to me asap before i waste a lot of money !! P.S the engine sounds completely the same when i engage and dis engage the clutch.
Sorry Sen, took me while to reply, for some reason UA-cam has put it into "Spam" folder. When I had trouble with my dual mass flywheel in my previous car Audi, it gave judder when moving off. 610rpm looks like low rpm to me, although I don't have experience with 3.0 V6, maybe their idle is different. On 2.0 it's about 800 and 1000 when regenerating DPF. I can't say what causes vibrations on a base of all I know - is you are getting vibrations :) Maybe something to do with those low rpm's? Did anybody scan it for any faults in diagnostics?
WheelsAndMotors Hi again. Do i have had the had the dual mass fly wheel changed and there are no codes coming up. The car has also had a full service recently. I had the idle turned up to the max it can which is 800 rmp but it still only reads at 730. Not really sure what to do next? Any ideas ? Thanks sen
Sen Scherbakoff So you have changed dual mass flywheel, but vibrations still coming? That garage also can be right about engine mounts.. But I don't know, because I can't see their condition from here. By the way - I didn't know that they do 3.0 tdi with manual gearbox. If we are talking about clutch - your car is manual, right?
Also codes - I'm not talking only about OBD codes, I mean full system scan. Is that what was done?
WheelsAndMotors Yeah there is not many of them left. Yeah i have had a full scan done and nothing came up, not just obd.
Sen Scherbakoff I don't know how to help you mate, it needs to be seen. My friend has a 14 plate Galaxy, and he had vibrations.. Yes! And when he had to put AC on it also gave change. The solution for that appeared to be bad alternator pulley. It just made me thinking. If AC on and off makes difference, I would look somewhere within auxiliary belt - alternator, AC compressor, power steering pump...
very beautifull video.
can you make such a helpfull video on how to change the turbo on a volkswagen tdi?
thank you
I've got a Golf Mk4 1.9tdi for my mechanical experiments. In couple months time I'm thinking to make a turbo video. Can't play with my Sharan too much, unless it's really necessary, because I need it every day for my work.
WheelsAndMotors I have a golf 5 tdi, think it's pretty mutch the same as the golf 4, pitty it takes so long until the video comes :(
You see, I have to give priority to my workhorse - Sharan. Because currently it's my breadwinner. It has to go through very strict taxi MOT next week. Whatever it will come out with, needs to be fixed asap. Have to do rear brakes, too just before MOT. So my next video will be rear brakes on Sharan. Considering that it takes a bit of time to process, edit the video then on the base of the video create manual with all images for my website... while taxiing 7 days a week.. That's why my videos take ages to come out. But we'll get there eventually :)
Buongiorno grazie per il tuo video fantastico, a cuanti km ai fato la frizione, la mia è un vw sharan 7n cffb 20 140 4x4 sarà difficile cambiare!
you are absolutely a star. you shouldn't be cab driver mate :)
Hopefully one day I won't be :))
Amazing video. Couldn’t be any better thank you 👍🏻
You're very welcome Mr Big Hammer 😎👍
You are an amazing guy, thank you for all your help. Where are you located?
Thanks :) I live in Bristol.
Nice explain thanks maet
You're welcome 😊
I pulled mine today. I had only watched half your video and not to the part of having to rotate the differential end up counterclockwise. I put a high reach hydraulic jack under the diff end and rolled it up. Then wiggled it out.
To put in tomorrow I will rig off the Engine crossmember brace similar to how you did and lift it straight up with a small chain come along. My transmission jack was basically worthless lol. Glad I’m a union millwright and know how to rig loads into tight spots.
I’m going back in with a CR170 clutch and flywheel from Europe. It’s the strongest dual mass setup available.
Thanx again for the video!
Hello my friend. Thnx a lot for you
ur videos. You help me very much with my engine.
Stay home and see your videos like see movies.
About my engine. When my engine is on without speed I hear a noise from the gear box but when i push the clutch the noise stops.
When i drive i hear the noise again but very low noise.
Is this noise from the pressure bearing you change from the gear box
Hello, I think that's the sign of bad dual- mass flywheel. When pressure bearing is bad, it's opposite - it gets noisy when you press clutch.
What a fantastic video. By far the best "how to" I've come across for just about anything! This weekend I'm going to attempt to replace the slave cylinder on my 4-Motion Tiguan with the help of a friend or two.
Easy peasy 😎
@@wawayltd I thought "easy peasy" but no! My drive shafts have metal covers over the area where yours have the bolts exposed. Any ideas? Mine is a 2008 Tiguan 4-Motion.
So, a bit more "Googling" and it seems my drive shafts just pull out and held in place by an internal clip. There's a first for everything I guess
I thought all VWs had bolts on their driveshafts...
Thanks for a great step by step instructions on DSG removal. Have you changed your Rear Main Seal before? Looks like your main seal has the crank sensor built into seal.
No, I don't have experience with crankshaft seals yet. By the way - that's not a DSG gearbox 😉
You should be a teacher, excellent video yet again. thanks
Thank you :)
