Hello, I am a master mechanic myself in Germany and often watch your films! it was difficult enough to change the clutch on some vehicles on the lifting platform! When I see you at work, my arms and back hurt! My respect for doing this work on the ground! Good luck continues! LG

[@HPaulAdrian]

Good work and good filming, Kevin; I find these videos with more details and dedicated to a single car make/model much, much better than the ones with more, different cars in a single video. If you were to blend the Nm/Foot pounds values as text in the video for the different screws at each step, I think you will become a real reference on the net and gain even more viewers! My two cents...

[@WMCS]

Ok that’s an idea. I might put it up in the video. Thanks foe the input.

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Kevin I had problems down loading but figured it out in the long run, after watching you for awhile now which would be the worst vehicle to replace the clutch and flywheel? Kind regards John

[@WMCS]

Hey John.., always great to hear from you. Worst for me is the Citroen C5 because of its suspension ball joint design. And all vehicles which uses a reverse pressure plate system. I just don’t do them anymore. Biggest box in a car is the Toyota avensis D4D., which I swear not to do again. But I’ve decided to take one once more and capture the whole repair on video in a few weeks time.

[@YZY_RAP]

I'm no expert in impact drivers as I recently bought my first one so I have two questions: A) Are you using impact sockets, universal joints and extensions with it? B) Why do you seem to hold the socket with your free hand when unscrewing bolts and nuts? Thanks for your attention, and keep up the great videos you're making :D Cheers

[@WMCS]

It’s so that I can have a bit more grip and control when it impacts the nuts/bolts. And yes they’re all impact tools.

[@YZY_RAP]

@@WMCS very well. Thank you :D

[@robertdunsmore]

It might be a good idea to have a clip of the engine turning over before you change the clutch and flywheel, so we can compare the noise before and after. Especially if it's really bad.

[@ronniebarker79]

That's a good idea

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

Is it just me or do the older 1.9 TDI dual mass flywheels give judder feeling straight away or after 500 miles max? Not sure about the newer 2.0 TDI but that flywheel was knackered same as always on these VW. Also fitted 2 Sachs kits to same car within 2 years and they both felt completely different on the pedal with the spring action. Lower gearbox mount is recommended to help hold it still. The more it judders the worse it gets and those bushes are always shot from the constant abuse they get from a bad flywheel. What do you think about all of that? I think the flywheel kits are not strong enough from factory personally.

[@WMCS]

Henry. A lot of people opt for the poly bush on the dog mount for that reason. But in my personal opinion for the GT I’d go for the LUK as the pressure plate are more durable with the self adjuster built in. Sachs has a flat pressure plate that may possibly give a smoother drive but doesn’t take the engine torque too well.

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

@@WMCS Thankyou very much for that. I will look into the updated dog leg. This is on a galaxy / Alhambra / Sharan 1.9 TDI platform. Maybe particularly bad on these? Im 2 cars in and done the job 3 times now including whole front end suspension / ball jointss and bushes on new one. still feels wobbly! I got Sachs kits each time maybe I should have opted LUK then. I want an automatic viano next I hope they are much smoother.

I think you can make VAGs blinfolded. This time you bled the CSC the almost the usual way. Gravity and some pressure. Was it better this time? Thanks for the video!

[@WMCS]

Oscar .,, all the other vehicle’s CSC you can just prime it then you’re good to go. But these ones you have to bleed the system. Maybe it’s built differently.

[@oscarmontero5724]

@@WMCS Is there any easy way to recognise them? They all seem to be the same. The bleeder is the key? Thanks!

[@billrimmer5596]

I'm doing lower control arms on a 11 Sienna. I WD40'd both axle nuts and yet the threads r galling. I'm going to try to find a die 22 x 1.5 thread pitch. How do u handle that problem? I did use a chisel to open up the staking.

[@WMCS]

They are a bit of a nightmare .., the threads really builds up the powdery rust. What I’ve found to work is still a hole in the centre of the bolt if your one comes through and that will collapse itself a bit to loosen it.

[@Phil-1969]

Good afternoon Kevin I hope life is treating you well. Can I ask a question. I have a 2003 Audi TT 3:2 with a DSG gearbox, the question is why does my DMF rattle when the engine is cold and stops when it’s warmed up and been out for a drive . The car has done 95k so I know it’s all going to be replaced soon Cheers Phil

[@WMCS]

Hi Phil. I take it when it’s in park or neutral it rattles and eventually goes when it’s warm. In my opinion in these DMF’s the spacers between the back plates tends to break over time. They are very. When the metal is warm it expands and picks up that it of slack But eventually all the spacers starts falling apart and you get the constant noise. I suspect yours is it the early fail stage.

[@Phil-1969]

@@WMCS yes mate when it’s in drive or reverse it doesn’t make a noise only park and neutral , I take it you don’t do DSG clutches ?

Why does he almost always change the flywheel, together with the clutch and the release bearing? The flywheel is a fairly expensive part.

[@mmaiero1993]

Because of the Dual Mass Flywheel

[@mmaiero1993]

@@abergbe1 First you have to know if your fabia is equipped with the DMF. You can read a better explanation than mine online. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-mass_flywheel DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel) absorb the vibrations. You have to consider two flywheel attached by some springs (you have a controlled rotation/free-play of the flywheel around 10, 20mm(see the video around minute 26:31), it depends car by car)that turns one against the other(to absorb the vibrations). when the spring /springs inside the flywheel broke down you can hear (when you start or stop) the car a knocking sound(this if you are lucky. Sometimes it can explode and destroy your gearbox). I hope you can understand my simple explanation in my bad English.
