It is a pleasure to watch someone who is a master at their chosen profession.

Best video I have found for Zafira clutch repairs.

[@WMCS]

Al ken Thank you for the feedback

[@AndykSuper2]

My clutch has just started to slip..so glad I found this video..thank you..

[@irenty1960]

Thanks for the great video, on its basis I replaced the clutch in my zafira because as it turned out, the clamp broke. Everything went just like in the movie. Thanks again.

[@2094Ryan]

Didn't even need the subframe removed,,,well done bud.🤗

[@Markstevos]

Didn't even have to take the box fully out.. Good job mate!

[@johnwebster1129]

Excellent job its nice to see a professional at work makes it look easy.

[@WMCS]

Thank you.

[@thpxs0554]

Great job and shows it can be done without dropping the sub frame. The early astras (. Before your time probably) could be done in 30 minutes through a window in the bell housing.

[@lukegadd4988]

Good old letterbox clutch on 8vs 👌👌👌

[@stevedingley9117]

Brilliant video sets , very logical and we'll presented , I'm going to give that method a try on my 2003 Zafira 1.8 . Thanks for doing the videos !

[@WMCS]

That’s what it’s for. Hope all goes well.

[@abisismael1343]

Very good and instructive video. I am very happy to discover your chain. Thank you for your long and magnific work !

[@daviddallaway8253]

Fantastic video you deserve a cup of tea well done

[@WMCS]

David thanks for the feedback... let’s not forget a biscuit 🍪 with that cuppa. Lol

[@mickbmw5]

Great video. Would a 2010 1.6 Zafira be the same process as this or would i have to drop the subframe? Cheers

[@alexsimon443]

Respect bro, thats amazing 😁

[@bendavis4708]

Ive just done rhis on my 1.8 petrol vectra. Brand new flywheel, clutch and bearing. Car will engage every gear and will pull away with the clutch disengaged but wont drive jnder acceleration? Also car dksent stall when in gear and handbrake on?

[@Carlostype]

Great mechanic- a pleasure to watch, subscribed!

[@andisadler2897]

Masterfull work. I have Zafira gsi and clutch has gone. I only had one fitted in 2020 but like an idiot i got a used one from forums. This time i got a brand new kit and shes having the C20LET clutch upgrade. At the moment car will still drive but i have to set off in 2nd all the time and at lights etc shes trying to stall but there is just enough pedal left to stop her. She wants to go forward all the time so handbrake and rev lol. Be fixed soon as ive got all parts.

[@WMCS]

That’s it. Better to have a fresh new kit in there. You’ll definitely notice the difference.

[@andisadler2897]

@@WMCS yes bro. How much would you have charged to fit the kit? Z20LET engine,F23 Gearbox. Got C20LET clutch.and F23 Slave.

[@stuartjeffrey767]

Hi kevin, If you used a pressure bleeder to bleed the clutch (like I did) and the seal behind the slave blew, would you replace the seal or the whole slave ? Thanks

[@WMCS]

The whole slave. And never use pressure breeder. They’re good for brakes only.

[@marcelofernandes6970]

To change the clutch, it is not necessary to remove the oil from the gearbox ???? I didn't see it, or he didn't get the oil. Can someone tell me if you need ???? thank you

[@brendanbradyfan3589]

I need to get one of those long bars you have they are very useful

[@carolmitchell4281]

is this the same on a 2014 1.8 petrol ?

[@WMCS]

Same thing .. that’s correct.

[@damnfunnychicken]

did it like that on a vectra like 3 years ago... now i need to do it on our zafira . apparently clutches dont like me mucho :/

[@WMCS]

😆🍻✨✨

[@g7puw]

Hi me Williams , how long dose it take to complete the job being your beautiful and informative video is only 25 mins long please ?

[@WMCS]

For me personally about 3 hrs.

[@jaylo912]

I wish I could change a clutch in just 25 minutes :). Going to start mine tomorrow but told the wife the car may be out of action for 3 or 4 days

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

😂😂😂

[@80YDY]

Is this the same engine an gearbox as a saab 1.8 n/a ? Z18xe i think is the engine

[@WMCS]

Yes almost identical. I think only difference is the linkage attachments

[@markjarvis3927]

Are you using a alignment tool

[@carolmitchell4281]

not being nozy but how much do you charge ? i"m having mine done tomoz been quoted £ 650.00 does that seem about right ?

[@WMCS]

My price is bit cheaper.. each place place has their own price I suppose. But you’re not being overly priced.

[@peterg3661]

do you change gearbox oil aswell and were is the filler cheers

[@WMCS]

Peter Griffiths Use the breather cap on top of the box to fill your oil.

[@peterg3661]

@@WMCS thanks Kevin great content mate

[@SpyHeli]

Looks really easy when you are doing this, i thought that the Frame has to come of to take the Transmission out.....now i will change it like you did :-) Thx Mate. What Clutch is in there from the Dealer when it was built ? Valeo or what ?

[@Mcintechmobilemechanic]

Thats the best way subframe off gaping boxs is dangerous

[@carolmitchell4281]

did you actually do all that is shown in the video in the time shown m8 ? i"m having mine done tomorrow and been quoted 5 1/2 hours.

[@WMCS]

On average I do them in about 2.5hrs

[@golfhammer7153]

Great vid nice job 👍

[@WMCS]

Golfhammer Thanks for the feedback

[@talat03]

Cok guzel video merci

How long did it take mate ?

[@WMCS]

About 4hrs

[@MTorn]

Dear William, I found out that my Zafira 1.6 (XER) is much more like this 1.8 l. Do you also changeout the clutch slave cylinder as a matter of course? Greetings from Holland 🇱🇺

[@WMCS]

M. Torn Yes... always change the slave cylinder. Never use LUK as they leak fluid. Because it’s made of plastic. Use FTE.

[@WMCS]

M. Torn definitely FTE. the inner workings of it will last you a minimum 6 years. I have a specialty modified rod that I use to wedge between the seat and clutch pedal to bleed the clutch

[@andisadler2897]

@@WMCS what about sachs csc slave cylinder are they any good? ive just bought one to add to a clutch kit Z20LET.

[@WMCS]

Andi Sadler Sachs are definitely a yes ... They are far better than LUK.

[@andisadler2897]

@@WMCS Excellent bro Sachs it is. Shame your not closer to me id let you fit it.

[@stevenrudd1557]

Where are you based? I am in Norwich I need a concentric slave cylinder.

Steven Rudd no problem. I come up these ends a few times a month. My next trip up there is after next week. Send me your vehicle details www.williamsmobileclutch.co.uk

[@markjarvis3927]

How do you bleed the clutch

[@WMCS]

Mark Jarvis I have a modified lever to hold down the clutch pedal while I crack open the bleed nipple

[@brownsadventures312]

@@WMCS hey mate been watching your videos and decided to put a new clutch and slave in vectra c today, everything went well until it came to bleeding, the clutch pedal is completely soft and when open the nipple on slave, press clutch then close nipple, raise clutch.... no fluid coming out or air coming out and clutch staying soft. On first few attempts we did get fluid and hard pedal then went completely soft again. Should I try back bleeder or something ????

[@nexzoz2.0]

what is this video the goal is to see the disassembly and assembly of the clutch but we can't see anything he opened the box and closed it

[@WMCS]

So subscribe..

[@SaucyBegger25]

My zafira b with the same engine has developed an issue today. Was just driving along fine then put the clutch in and felt a pop through the peddle then couldn’t change gear. Nothing wrong at all before this happened. Had to high Rev and knock it into gear to get home from shopping. It’s on the drive but can’t get it into gear at all. Do you have any thoughts on what that could be? No clutch slip or anything before this. It just went completely randomly 🤷🏻‍♂️ edit.. also no leaks underneath or in the car and the fluid level is at normal level!

[@WMCS]

If it goes into all the gears with the engine off. It’s worth checking the clutch master cylinder first. Check the fluid level is ok as well.

[@SaucyBegger25]

@@WMCS hi yes it goes into all gears with engine off. And the fluid level was where it should be and above the master cylinder pipe coming off the bottle. I’ve even topped it up to see if that helps now the car is stuck on the drive. Didn’t change a thing. Appreciate the reply thank you. I’m praying it’s the master cylinder. I’ve no leaks coming from anywhere

[@rayloudon]

Same happened to me last week Zafira 1.6 petrol. It was the pressure plate had gone. It did last 12 years and 73,000 miles though.

[@SaucyBegger25]

@@rayloudon apparently this happens a lot with these zafiras. Spoke to lots of owners. Some say they are on the 3rd clutch. Now that’s worrying. Nice cars to drive and comfortable. Not very fast though. Very heavy and sluggish mine feels. For a 1.8 Sri was expecting a lot more 🤷🏻‍♂️
