Great video no messing about or no annoying music, just showing you exactly what's involved, some strength too, to be able to lift that gearbox & put the bolts in at the same time😳wow best part of the install easy, great job👍👍👌
i get well tired after 2-3 hours of work on cars...clutch take much longer and you still had plenty strength left in you..its not a small job and you managed to film it.well done to you rome salute you..
I've just done my passat today using your video following it and managed to do it I needed help from a friend to line the box back up but apart from that I managed. You make it look another easier than it was . Thank you for making the videos you have saved me a fortune
Laborious but amazingly very accurate undertaking which you managed pretty well Kevin. Thanks for recording it on VW Passat B6. I watched your recordings on B7 and other VW models but this is the first one on B6 which is brilliant. Thank you very much working on my car here Kevin, you helped me out tremendously and car drives so smoothly now. I am glad I have hired you. Keep up good work. Many thanks for you labour and help. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏. Merci.

Have a couple of questions if you don't mind. 1. Will you fit a clutch kit that the customer supplies ? 2. Which in your opinion is better quality, SACHS or LUK, I think the Sachs clutch is slightly more expensive, but I've also been "told" they are better quality ??
Iv'e been in a mechanic since i left school in the late 70's and always had the facility for doing this kind of work on a workshop lift, and in years gone by iv'e done the odd clutch change on someones drive, and once in the pouring down rain, that was unpleasant to say the least i couldn't/wouldn't do it now (I'm in my late fifties), we don't see your face but i suspect your a young man, and that's what it is, its a young mans game, it's damned hard work doing a clutch change on the floor, hat's off to you mate, all the best..

Hi. This is my first time watching one of your videos. Just an FYI. If you use a motorcycle jack, then you can use that to hold the transmission on and off the car. It will save your back. It will also make it pretty easy to put it back in there without tiring. I had to do the clutch on my mr2 twice and that motorcycle jack holds the transmission just perfect since they have that odd shape.
Absolute quality job. I like how you take a moment after you fit the flywheel and clutch then run your hand over it like a proud dad! What is it with these 2.0 litre Passats, think you've filmed 3 to date. Just wear and tear. Done any A4 2.0 litre TDIs?
You captured that in words like a picture .., there’s a great sense of satisfaction whenever the clutch is finally bolted on.., I do it all the time even when I’m not filming 😁😂.. All three ones are different engine code variants .,, there’s slight difference in the build
@ Kevin-Albert Williams This is the best video i have seen in my whole UA-cam life: I love that you do not say anything in the video, but only point because you can get so damn confused if you also have to listen to someone who explains what is being done. I'm going to change the clutch and flywheel on my 2007 Passat 2.0 TDI. And this video has really made it easier for me. Really Good Video ....
he's good as working alone I did mine on Golf IV, same gearbox, same clutch, I just needed help by a freind to lift the gearbox to put in place , I got scared that I wiggle the gearbox by myself and something happen, we don't know.... you get under the car and you start thinking bad scenario.... otherwise all by myself, and I'm no machanic I am a nurse. I just like to do things myself... so he is very good the guy 5 stars.
Nice job,never use cleaner on flywheel because u have grease in springs and i'll always replace crank oil seal.Wish u a good luck u have amazing skills.
@@WMCS I use a old cloth lightly soaked in petrol, i don't spray the cliner because it pours inside and dissolve grease in dmf,just wipe lightly and that's it.
I just go by feel. ., If it’s stretch bolts as soon as it hits hard I get a 90• turn on top. If it’s solid bolts as soon as it hits hard I get a 45• turn on top. Thanks for the support. ✨🍻🍻
Very good Kevin !! Warning gear box man !! Heavy and dangerous manipulation More you have muscle and inteligent . And more ...simplicity !! Good worker !! Salutations of argentina !!!
Hi just a quick one, I'm taking this job on myself, but I've been told I need the self adjusting clutch tool, although in the video, I see you use only the clutch alignment tool, how necessary is the self adjusting tool? The tool is supposed to give the flywheel the correct preload on to the flywheel I've read. Thank you an kind regards
Top man thank you, hopefully mine goes as smooth as this 🤞🤞 one of the easier ones I'm led to believe. Great work buddy, you do a great job of positioning the camera so we can see exactly what's going on. Keep up the great work !
I’ve got a 2007 golf with the same lump and gearbox, it’s got 199k on the clock and the clutch pedal travel is more or less none existent but does have good bite tho
I really liked what you did on this passat I think I'm going to start changing the clutch myself after watching this video you posted on UA-cam Thanks for everything

the kit you took off wasn't a self adjusting clutch the one you fitted was and you supposedly need a special fitting kit to fit it properly you just banged it on no problem lol i could do the job but could never put the box back being a weakling by myself good video nice work
Thanks for the review.,, never had any issue using the £10 clutch alignment tool compared to the £1200 alignment tool .,, one thing I’ll point out tho., always tighten down bolts in increments until fully tight. And the adjuster in the clutch plate are there to pick up any slack as the friction plate wears down rather than a fitting adjustment.
Hi Kevin did one of these the other day only took 7 hours 😂 on a dead end narrow lane with a brambles bush to my side as I worked in the rain! 😂 trying to follow your foot steps! Would it ever be possible to come work with you for a week?
Great video😊 I also had a non SAC clutch from Sachs original, but the new one I ordered is a Luk-SAC clutch. On my parts it looks like the new parts vs. old parts have some different meassurements; fingers on the diaphragm spring is sticking more far out from the pressure plate than the old one. Have you had any concerns with this? Or is it just the design that fools me, and the total distance from the crank to the fingers is the same as the old one? Is it common to change from non SAC to SAC clutch?
Thanks for your reply😀 The new parts is a Luk kit with clutch and DMF. And today i saw that the original Sachs clutch and DMF on my car looks to be a SAC clutch after all. I just didnt see it.( Different design than the Luk clutch). So things look the same as in your video. If its a Sachs kit replaced by a Luk kit? (My concerns where about the two kits looking so different).
Lovely job... is that a performance flywheel and clutch? Love the video and attention to detail with cleaning and greasing.. your techniques are awesome... wonder how much you would charge?? 😂
So far the van has been good as gold .., Considering it’s only a 1.5, because I drive very long journeys the likelihood of the engine getting clogged or injectors failing is almost zero to none .., One thing with Piezo injectors they like heat to work efficiently and long range .., I drive on average 2 hours each way. So it’s very unlikely to get clogged up.
this is pohang sout korea . im enjoying the video you uploaded. im on the vw cc tdi 2010 model. i have a question which country is That. Thank you see you next time
I'm intending having a go at my Alhambra clutch soon. Your vids have been a great help! The tracking will need doing once everything is back in place won't it?? How about a Sharan/Alhambra next time one comes up?! 👍
Hi there. I'm sometimes puzzled by your total elapsed time of a clutch change due to editing. Also, I like to watch you work in 2X speed. Approx how long does it take you to change a clutch in a typical front wheel drive vehicle. I have pulled a transmission in the driveway once before and it was quite a challenge. I have total respect for your talents sir. Question for you: is it not standard practice to replace the crank seal whenever the tranny is pulled as a preventative measure?
Great vedeo 👏👍👍 we must said the true this guy is a really good mechanic 👌 this guy is a really fucking good 👍 👏 he knows really about this caind of the work cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
If you owned a VW/AUDI which required a new DMC would you go Luk or Sachs based on your experience.Which of the two brands would you chose for quality and longevity? If anyone knows its probably you. Cheers Col.
Colin for VAG engines I will always go for LUK it’s more expensive than SACHS., Reason being *LUK’s pressure plate has an automatic adjuster built in between the contact surface and fingers .,, *LUK’s pressure has designed a vent system in the plate cover to allow maximum airflow to keep the friction plate cool., Sachs hasn’t got the extra features which in my opinion *causes the clutch system to heat up and as a result damages the thin spacers in the flywheel., *on very long journeys the pressure plate springs becomes rigid which makes the clutch pedal feels hard. A lot more pressure on the slave cylinder. For a Non DMF I will always go for Sachs as the flywheel design allows air to flow freely through the cut outs .,, What I’ve found over years clutch wears 50% Quicker due to lack of air flow .,
@@WMCS Hi Kevin, thank you so much for sharing you experience and hard won knowledge.I will be following you good advice and buying a Luk DMC in the future for my Golf Mk 6 1.6 tdi cayc.I very much appreciate your detailed answer,thank you for taking the time. Stay safe and strong in your work,glad you always use double axle stands and removed wheels under the vehicles you service.
Great job dude. That crappy little tin plate cover behind the o/s drive shaft cup with the 10mm bolt though....!, good thing you knew it was there, sneaky bastards at VW would have me fighting with that box all day for the sake of a hidden 10mm !. Haha.
Hello Kevin! I have a passat b6 2009. Last summer, I changed its clutch. It was a LUK clutch. Everything was fine. But recently I've noticed that the gear shift gets hard to engage in the first gear. This usually happens at stops. It isn't frequent but it occurs from time to time. What could be the cause?
@@WMCS yes I can tell I work outside too rendering obviously my attitude is the same right let's have it... If you don't feel that you shouldn't be doing the job... Really good work mate I've watched 5 hours today and loved it all buzzin off you haha. Keep it up
Hello! I watched with interest how you changed the clutch to the 2007 Passat. Great!👌 I would have 2 questions: 1) Last week I changed the following at my Diesel Passat (BKP 2005) to a service in Austria: Reconditioned gearbox (6-speed manual HDV), new complete clutch kit from Valeo and shift cable - new (3C0 711 265AD). The company from which I bought the reconditioned gearbox (Getriebezentrum Europa) , expressly requested in the Warranty Certificate that 3.8L oil be poured into the gearbox because the gearbox was completely disassembled and reconditioned (those from VW in Exchange say 2,3-2,4 Even if the box has been completely disassembled), The same Company says further: it should be changed after between 500-1500Km and again after 20000km, on the contrary, I do not benefit from the guarantee. What do you think? What do you think about quantity? Why is there such a difference from what VW says? Have you ever encountered something like this? 2) Now when I start from the spot, while I leave the clutch slightly and accelerate at the same time, in the middle of the clutch pedal stroke, there is a tremor (the car shakes a little at that moment, which is also felt by the other passengers). The same thing happens when I want to stop and apply the clutch before applying the brake (speed of 3-5 km / hour). At the service I complained about this fact which was not present before and He was told to drive 1000km, until the components run in because they are new (I didn't feel anything before because there were lose) ... He said he also made the necessary adjustments to reset the cables / gearbox. However... Today I took the car out of service and I keep thinking about these 2 problems. From what can it be? Have you ever faced such problems? Thanks! 👋
Definitely follow the gearbox company’s instructions. This will make sure all the gears are properly coated with oil. Then drain and re fill with correct amount. Did you change the clutch kit and flywheel..?
@@WMCS Sure, as I wrote I changed everything starting from the hydraulic pressure bearing to the double table flywheel everything new from Valeo (because the kit from Sachs arrived incomplete-without flywheel and the mechanic said to mount it) . Today I was to VW to change winter wheel and he said that is not normal. It's a problem with clutch- but what? They can't get involved in the work done by another service, but they can mount them again if I want - for a fee of course.
Good work and clear space! I might say that VW is a bit boring. Some red rubber grease in the joining cup of the drivestaft to avoid leaking? I still wonder how you manage to change the hydraulic jack position to raise the engine... 600 luk points is about a bag of peanuts or something? 😄 It seems you changed the syringe and the pressurized brake cleaner. Thank you very much for the video!
600 points you get just the bag of nuts without the peanuts .. Yes a new syringe. New pressure bottle new jack yet to be used and some replacement tools .,, I believe in re investing in my work tools and equipment before they fail.. Swapping the jack to the gearbox I can’t show on video due to health and safety. .,, I hold the gearbox with one hand and swap the jack with the other hand ..,,
@@WMCS Man, that is awesome! Thank you very much for the classes on mechanics. I thingk that showing your job makes it more valuable. Specially for those who think these things are easy and take little time. Take care! Are you using a mail for PayPal support?
Hey, was I in the same country, I would definitely let you work on my passat b6 2.0 TDI. Sadly I am not and I am now going from one mechanic to another, spending big bucks for such an old car - still, no help on horizon. Firstly, I had troubles shifting to first and reverse gear with the clutch fully engaged. Tried to lubricate the linkage joints, but no help. After some time, even with the clutch fully engaged, I could not shift out of 1st or reverse gear. The worst came after when the car actually tried to move when I was in 1st or reverse with the clutch fully engaged. Than pretty much all sounded like a faulty clutch (especially the third symptom, since whatever can be happening in the gearbox, the clutch needs to disconnect it from the wheels and car cannot be trying to move). So I got the clutch replaced (including the slave cylinder and flywheel). Couple of minutes of driving and the same symptoms reappeared. After that, I got the master cylinder replaced, seemed pretty logical since the pedal also felt a bit "jumpy" from time to time it did not exactly follow my foot when disengaging the cluch, but moved akwardly slowly and then jumped. It did not help and in addition, the mechanic damaged the wiring so I constanly had a fault reappearing (clutch valve implausible signal). So I went to another mechanic so he can take a look and find the cause. He again, swapped the master cylinder because of the implausible signal, but he could not unveil the real issue. He said that there is no leak or anything similar. Very important point is that after I start the car, the clutch works fine. However, after like 15 minutes of driving, changing gears, it starts acting that way and it gets worse with more driving. Again, after driving in one gear for a longer time or leaving the car over night, it becomes "normal" until I drive it a little and use the clutch. The hydraulic system was bled as well. To me, it sounds like some component (e.g. high pressure hose expands under heat and then becomes normal) or something else that causes loss of presure in the hydraulic system. I am desparate, it already easily costed me a half of the cars worth. Please, any idea?
The pressure plate is worn. Once the metal gets hot the springs gets weaker therefore not fully disengaging the clutch. Replace the whole lock, stock and Barrel
How you doing buddy,i remember the days i used to do this on my drive,getting a bit to close to 50 now to be bothered,but i got a 2007 passat tdi 1.9tdi 105bhp to good to scrap family owned since new. is sachs dual mass flywheel and clutch ok to fit or should i do something else.i wish you was in my area but your not cheers lee
Hey Lee., Personally I think they are both equally good. The only reason I alternate between the two is I tend to fit what is already in the car. So I replace like for like.
can you share the parts number you use ? I meant, the Luk kits. Flywheel and Disk parts numbers. Thanks !. And if Im not mistaken, the clutch installed was Sachs and you replace it with Luk . Impeccable !. Those are the same ? you have a prefference from one or another ? thanks !

I did mine on Golf IV, same gearbox, same clutch, I just needed help by a freind to lift the gearbox to put in place , I got scared that I wiggle the gearbox by myself and something happen, we don't know.... you get under the car and you start thinking bad scenario....
otherwise all by myself, and I'm no machanic I am a nurse.
I just like to do things myself...
so he is very good the guy
5 stars.
have you ever thought of getting into "wrestling" , the way you do your moves on these gearboxes, i think you`d be a natural .

Salut, encore une superbe vidéo, tu utilise quoi comme dégraissant ? nettoyant frein en bidon ou autre.
Super job can't fault the man, made it look simple, well done mate 👍👍👍👍
I love watching your videos and in fact i did change yaris clutch cuz of your detailed video’s. Top Man 👍👌
Thanks babar ✨✨✨✨☕️☕️🚬
You make it look so easy i had to fight it two people to put it back , great job and thanks for helping vid
Nice job,never use cleaner on flywheel because u have grease in springs and i'll always replace crank oil seal.Wish u a good luck u have amazing skills.
Thanks for the support. Out of curiosity what would you personally use to dr grease the surface of the flywheel..,
@@WMCS I use a old cloth lightly soaked in petrol, i don't spray the cliner because it pours inside
and dissolve grease in dmf,just wipe lightly and that's it.
Excellent job Excellent video Excellent camera work
Thanks for the feedback
Decente AND hardwork put food on the table, blessings
Thanks mate.
Do you torque the flywheel/pressure plate bolts or just know him tight to go with the gun? Great videos 👌🏻👌🏻
I just go by feel. .,
If it’s stretch bolts as soon as it hits hard I get a 90• turn on top.
If it’s solid bolts as soon as it hits hard I get a 45• turn on top.
Thanks for the support. ✨🍻🍻
Very good Kevin !!

Hi just a quick one, I'm taking this job on myself, but I've been told I need the self adjusting clutch tool, although in the video, I see you use only the clutch alignment tool, how necessary is the self adjusting tool? The tool is supposed to give the flywheel the correct preload on to the flywheel I've read. Thank you an kind regards
Jake to be honest I haven’t used one.
Never had any problems to date with just the clutch alignment tool.
Top man thank you, hopefully mine goes as smooth as this 🤞🤞 one of the easier ones I'm led to believe. Great work buddy, you do a great job of positioning the camera so we can see exactly what's going on. Keep up the great work !
Now time to put it through the paces, WHATS IT GOT STUNTMAN?!
It’s got everything you’d expect from a Passat 🍻✨✨
I’ve got a 2007 golf with the same lump and gearbox, it’s got 199k on the clock and the clutch pedal travel is more or less none existent but does have good bite tho
It’s definitely getting close to that time .., I’d say it’s the flywheel that’s slowly giving in ..,,
Merci pour tout et bonne continuation...
شكرا جزيلا على كل المعلومات المفيدة والتي فيها الكثير من الخبرة....
Merci
I really liked what you did on this passat I think I'm going to start changing the clutch myself after watching this video you posted on UA-cam Thanks for everything
Glad I could help
Great video. One question: Is it necessary to remove the fluid from the gearbox?

please say you used a torque wrench on those wheel bolts because i didn't see one in your hand the whole video.. just the Buzzy gun.
An other cracking video but wasn't the same without the rain lol good job Kev
Ben looking at the forecast you shouldn’t be too disappointed with the next video.,
We have summoned the 🌧 rain gods🤩🍻✨
Un gran video, muy laborioso y mucho trabajo para cambiar el embrague. Felicitaciones desde España
Merci
the kit you took off wasn't a self adjusting clutch the one you fitted was and you supposedly need a special fitting kit to fit it properly you just banged it on no problem lol i could do the job but could never put the box back being a weakling by myself good video nice work
Thanks for the review.,,
never had any issue using the £10 clutch alignment tool compared to the £1200 alignment tool .,,
one thing I’ll point out tho.,
always tighten down bolts in increments until fully tight.
And the adjuster in the clutch plate are there to pick up any slack as the friction plate wears down rather than a fitting adjustment.
Great video. Which milwaukee do you use?
It’s the M18 Fuel.
Fantastic video mate I might attempt replacing my clutch after watching your video 😃
An extra pair of hands might come in handy lifting the box in/out they weight a tidy sum ..✨✨
Hi Kevin did one of these the other day only took 7 hours 😂 on a dead end narrow lane with a brambles bush to my side as I worked in the rain! 😂 trying to follow your foot steps! Would it ever be possible to come work with you for a week?
the great clutches warrior !
🎉😁🤩✨.., salut sudine..
@@WMCS salut Kevin , c est toujours un plaisir de te voir travailler 👍🏽
This man is awesome honestly this video is informative
Great video😊 I also had a non SAC clutch from Sachs original, but the new one I ordered is a Luk-SAC clutch. On my parts it looks like the new parts vs. old parts have some different meassurements; fingers on the diaphragm spring is sticking more far out from the pressure plate than the old one. Have you had any concerns with this? Or is it just the design that fools me, and the total distance from the crank to the fingers is the same as the old one? Is it common to change from non SAC to SAC clutch?
Do not fit it. It will not work.
It has to be one or another.
Either you fit a complete LUK Kit.
Or a complete Sachs kit.
Thanks for your reply😀 The new parts is a Luk kit with clutch and DMF. And today i saw that the original Sachs clutch and DMF on my car looks to be a SAC clutch after all. I just didnt see it.( Different design than the Luk clutch). So things look the same as in your video. If its a Sachs kit replaced by a Luk kit? (My concerns where about the two kits looking so different).
With the new info, do you think the new complete Luk kit will fit?
Love your videos mate, keep up the good work, what size is the quick jack you use on some of your jobs?
Thanks .,, I’ll get some details and post it re: quick jack 🍻🍻🍻
Lovely job... is that a performance flywheel and clutch? Love the video and attention to detail with cleaning and greasing.. your techniques are awesome... wonder how much you would charge?? 😂
👍🏽👏 again the clutches warrior !
But how much does this thing weigh , the gearbox ???
This one was a big baby .,, I had to proper cradle it. Easy 70kg I’d say
@@WMCS Waou ! 💪bravo 👏👏👏
Good job, on a side note, how do you find your van, has it been reliable? Have you had the dreaded injector fault?
So far the van has been good as gold ..,
Considering it’s only a 1.5,
because I drive very long journeys the likelihood of the engine getting clogged or injectors failing is almost zero to none ..,
One thing with Piezo injectors they like heat to work efficiently and long range ..,
I drive on average 2 hours each way.
So it’s very unlikely to get clogged up.
Hi, of cuorse you are the best,please i would like know what impact wrench do you use ....
this is pohang sout korea .
im enjoying the video you uploaded.
im on the vw cc tdi 2010 model.
i have a question which country is

Thank you see you next time
Hi Pohang.,, I am here in these United Kingdom 🇬🇧
@@WMCS
take care of your self.
Take a hot bath often.
I'm intending having a go at my Alhambra clutch soon. Your vids have been a great help! The tracking will need doing once everything is back in place won't it?? How about a Sharan/Alhambra next time one comes up?! 👍
I will try and find one for you. But otherwise the engine and gearbox is exactly the same as this one .., no tracking will be required .., ✨✨🍻
@@WMCS Excellent, thank you. 👌👍
Hi there. I'm sometimes puzzled by your total elapsed time of a clutch change due to editing. Also, I like to watch you work in 2X speed. Approx how long does it take you to change a clutch in a typical front wheel drive vehicle. I have pulled a transmission in the driveway once before and it was quite a challenge. I have total respect for your talents sir.
Question for you: is it not standard practice to replace the crank seal whenever the tranny is pulled as a preventative measure?
On average for this particular model about 3.5 hrs.
Great work every time 💪👍. What kind of degreaser do you use in the pump sprayer??
A would I say clutch and brake cleaner wot do I know???
Definitely brake cleaner .,, but any solvent works just as good
Great vedeo 👏👍👍 we must said the true this guy is a really good mechanic 👌 this guy is a really fucking good 👍 👏 he knows really about this caind of the work cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thanks for a great feedback and for supporting the channel 🍻🍻
👏👏muy bien. Con pocos recursos. Excelente trabajo
If you owned a VW/AUDI which required a new DMC would you go Luk or Sachs based on your experience.Which of the two brands would you chose for quality and longevity?
If anyone knows its probably you. Cheers Col.
Colin for VAG engines I will always go for LUK it’s more expensive than SACHS.,
Reason being
*LUK’s pressure plate has an automatic adjuster built in between the contact surface and fingers .,,
*LUK’s pressure has designed a vent system in the plate cover to allow maximum airflow to keep the friction plate cool.,
Sachs hasn’t got the extra features which in my opinion
*causes the clutch system to heat up and as a result damages the thin spacers in the flywheel.,
*on very long journeys the pressure plate springs becomes rigid which makes the clutch pedal feels hard. A lot more pressure on the slave cylinder.
For a Non DMF I will always go for Sachs as the flywheel design allows air to flow freely through the cut outs .,,
What I’ve found over years clutch wears 50% Quicker due to lack of air flow .,
@@WMCS Hi Kevin, thank you so much for sharing you experience and hard won knowledge.I will be following you good advice and buying a Luk DMC in the future for my Golf Mk 6 1.6 tdi cayc.I very much appreciate your detailed answer,thank you for taking the time.
Stay safe and strong in your work,glad you always use double axle stands and removed wheels under the vehicles you service.
Wow! Gotta feeling you've done this before.
Once or twice 😁🍻✨
Great job dude. That crappy little tin plate cover behind the o/s drive shaft cup with the 10mm bolt though....!, good thing you knew it was there, sneaky bastards at VW would have me fighting with that box all day for the sake of a hidden 10mm !. Haha.
It’s a right struggle getting the box out without removing that little shield. 😂😂.,, I learned the hard way many moons ago.
Hello Kevin! I have a passat b6 2009. Last summer, I changed its clutch. It was a LUK clutch. Everything was fine. But recently I've noticed that the gear shift gets hard to engage in the first gear. This usually happens at stops. It isn't frequent but it occurs from time to time. What could be the cause?
Bleed the clutch system again and see how you get on.
@@WMCS Thanks a lot. Does this mean that liquid pressure doesn't operate well?
You are the freakin man Kev..🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
excellent tutorial !. thanks for sharing. impeccable made. Now I have to repair my passat. :). Thank you for doing this . Pablo.
Yet another excellent job Kevin
editing brilliant and top job there kevin
Thanks for the feedback.,, and happy new year
top graft there mate really enjoyed watching i bet you were buzzing when wheels go back on ooooof
Render king to be honest ., I get that buzz when I turn up fo the repair. There’s always a level of adrenaline rush ...
@@WMCS yes I can tell I work outside too rendering obviously my attitude is the same right let's have it... If you don't feel that you shouldn't be doing the job... Really good work mate I've watched 5 hours today and loved it all buzzin off you haha. Keep it up
Hello! I watched with interest how you changed the clutch to the 2007 Passat.
Great!👌
I would have 2 questions:
1) Last week I changed the following at my Diesel Passat (BKP 2005) to a service in Austria: Reconditioned gearbox (6-speed manual HDV), new complete clutch kit from Valeo and shift cable - new (3C0 711 265AD). The company from which I bought the reconditioned gearbox (Getriebezentrum Europa) , expressly requested in the Warranty Certificate that 3.8L oil be poured into the gearbox because the gearbox was completely disassembled and reconditioned (those from VW in Exchange say 2,3-2,4 Even if the box has been completely disassembled), The same Company says further: it should be changed after between 500-1500Km and again after 20000km, on the contrary, I do not benefit from the guarantee. What do you think?
What do you think about quantity? Why is there such a difference from what VW says? Have you ever encountered something like this?
2) Now when I start from the spot, while I leave the clutch slightly and accelerate at the same time, in the middle of the clutch pedal stroke, there is a tremor (the car shakes a little at that moment, which is also felt by the other passengers). The same thing happens when I want to stop and apply the clutch before applying the brake (speed of 3-5 km / hour). At the service I complained about this fact which was not present before and He was told to drive 1000km, until the components run in because they are new (I didn't feel anything before because there were lose) ... He said he also made the necessary adjustments to reset the cables / gearbox. However...
Today I took the car out of service and I keep thinking about these 2 problems. From what can it be? Have you ever faced such problems?
Thanks! 👋
Definitely follow the gearbox company’s instructions. This will make sure all the gears are properly coated with oil. Then drain and re fill with correct amount.
Did you change the clutch kit and flywheel..?
@@WMCS
Sure, as I wrote I changed everything starting from the hydraulic pressure bearing to the double table flywheel everything new from Valeo (because the kit from Sachs arrived incomplete-without flywheel and the mechanic said to mount it) .
Today I was to VW to change winter wheel and he said that is not normal. It's a problem with clutch- but what?
They can't get involved in the work done by another service, but they can mount them again if I want - for a fee of course.
this dude is nothing without his milwaukee screw driver haha ... good work ^^
it wouldn't be a major service without this pet and smack on 31:30 :D
Cool as always all the best Shaun
you are the best of the best anonymos mechanique auto of world👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌👌👌✌✌✌
Good work and clear space! I might say that VW is a bit boring. Some red rubber grease in the joining cup of the drivestaft to avoid leaking? I still wonder how you manage to change the hydraulic jack position to raise the engine... 600 luk points is about a bag of peanuts or something? 😄 It seems you changed the syringe and the pressurized brake cleaner. Thank you very much for the video!
600 points you get just the bag of nuts without the peanuts ..
Yes a new syringe. New pressure bottle new jack yet to be used and some replacement tools .,, I believe in re investing in my work tools and equipment before they fail..
Swapping the jack to the gearbox I can’t show on video due to health and safety. .,, I hold the gearbox with one hand and swap the jack with the other hand ..,,
@@WMCS Man, that is awesome!
Thank you very much for the classes on mechanics. I thingk that showing your job makes it more valuable. Specially for those who think these things are easy and take little time. Take care! Are you using a mail for PayPal support?
Which one is better, Luk or Sachs !?
This guy is a human clutch robot
I love it .,, life wouldn’t be the same otherwise 😁🍻🍻
KEVIN, the cover photo of your video :" 2005 Rover 75 1.8L Petrol Clutch Replacement"

Thanks man .,, working outside directly underneath and in close contact with dirt .,, the correct PPE is a must ..,
Another great job by Kevin top class👍👌👏👏👏
amazing video do you have any material on the older b5.5 version with the inline 1.9 PD engine?
I went to do one about 3 months ago and ended up scrapping the repair.
Purely because it’s a bit tight doing it on deck. On ramp no probs.
@@WMCS Ohh ok so it is very difficult to do on stands because of the in line setup?
Hey, was I in the same country, I would definitely let you work on my passat b6 2.0 TDI. Sadly I am not and I am now going from one mechanic to another, spending big bucks for such an old car - still, no help on horizon.
Firstly, I had troubles shifting to first and reverse gear with the clutch fully engaged. Tried to lubricate the linkage joints, but no help. After some time, even with the clutch fully engaged, I could not shift out of 1st or reverse gear.
The worst came after when the car actually tried to move when I was in 1st or reverse with the clutch fully engaged.
Than pretty much all sounded like a faulty clutch (especially the third symptom, since whatever can be happening in the gearbox, the clutch needs to disconnect it from the wheels and car cannot be trying to move). So I got the clutch replaced (including the slave cylinder and flywheel). Couple of minutes of driving and the same symptoms reappeared.
After that, I got the master cylinder replaced, seemed pretty logical since the pedal also felt a bit "jumpy" from time to time it did not exactly follow my foot when disengaging the cluch, but moved akwardly slowly and then jumped. It did not help and in addition, the mechanic damaged the wiring so I constanly had a fault reappearing (clutch valve implausible signal).
So I went to another mechanic so he can take a look and find the cause. He again, swapped the master cylinder because of the implausible signal, but he could not unveil the real issue. He said that there is no leak or anything similar.
Very important point is that after I start the car, the clutch works fine. However, after like 15 minutes of driving, changing gears, it starts acting that way and it gets worse with more driving. Again, after driving in one gear for a longer time or leaving the car over night, it becomes "normal" until I drive it a little and use the clutch.
The hydraulic system was bled as well. To me, it sounds like some component (e.g. high pressure hose expands under heat and then becomes normal) or something else that causes loss of presure in the hydraulic system.
I am desparate, it already easily costed me a half of the cars worth. Please, any idea?
The pressure plate is worn. Once the metal gets hot the springs gets weaker therefore not fully disengaging the clutch.
Replace the whole lock, stock and Barrel
I just got the whole new kit like a month ago without any change.
Great video
Thanks from France
El número 1...👌👌👌... The Number one
How you doing buddy,i remember the days i used to do this on my drive,getting a bit to close to 50 now to be bothered,but i got a 2007 passat tdi 1.9tdi 105bhp to good to scrap family owned since new. is sachs dual mass flywheel and clutch ok to fit or should i do something else.i wish you was in my area but your not cheers lee
Hey Lee., Personally I think they are both equally good.
The only reason I alternate between the two is I tend to fit what is already in the car. So I replace like for like.
can you share the parts number you use ? I meant, the Luk kits. Flywheel and Disk parts numbers. Thanks !. And if Im not mistaken, the clutch installed was Sachs and you replace it with Luk . Impeccable !. Those are the same ? you have a prefference from one or another ? thanks !
I wouldn’t remember the part number to be honest.
