The Clutch replacement king. Great Job and video.

[@susanthbabuji4700]

Man I'm moving to Germany and seeing ur videos gives me so much confidence to fight the unknown.

[@susanthbabuji4700]

Like I can keep it together

[@Crouder]

Germany is a great place to be. Be happy about it!

[@julianlangdon3456]

many thanks, always nice to watch someone else do a job before you get the Haynes Manual out & do it yourself. Also saves me work, for instance I was surprised to realise there's no need to undo the Hub Nuts on these. Cheers!

[@justintasht1067]

Another fantastic display of skill and hard work.full respect to you 👍👍

[@WMCS]

Thanks Justin. They’re quite compact and always a bit of a squeeze these engine bay.

[@Naviev1]

Como siempre un trabajo espectacular.

[@maxthecaddy8451]

excellent job and professional work as always kevin👍

[@claudiomasiello2457]

Grazie Kevin. Ho lo stesso tipo di auto.. il video dura più di un'ora nonostante la tua abilità. quindi ho capito che quando si rompe la frizione é meglio andare dal meccanico😄

[@tonymccarthy9273]

Hi Kevin I was watching your weekly video , and I noticed that you were doing a clutch opposite my junior school , holwell road in welwyn garden city , looking at the school as you worked brought back pleasant child hood memories of holwell school , I lived about 2 miles from holwell school , from 1972 to 1982 , thanks for your videos Kevin , from Tony from bedfordshire 👍😊

[@WMCS]

Tony you know what that was a nice feedback.,, What are the chances of that .,, thank you for the support Kind regards. K-A.

Vitali merci amie et bonne dimanche

[@ufopuum1]

Hey, have you ever done a MK2 Mondeo clutch? (1996-2000) Does the subframe on those too have to be lowered to remove the gearbox?

[@euc131]

Really helpful video - nice work !

[@WMCS]

Thanks Neil. Really appreciate the feedback

[@thomasfolkerisberg9208]

Is it necessary to drain the oil from the gearbox before taking it off?

[@mrgrumpy5116]

nice little job .. and good weather, what could be better,

[@WMCS]

Can’t complain about the weather. Perfect happy medium. Until it turns scorching hot ...

[@davidtaboadalopez7973]

Excelent work !!! Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos

[@80s8dmusic6]

Hello mate appreciate the video, just a couple of questions would really appreciate if you could answer them, What’s the fluid you are inserting into the gearbox at 1:04:40 and how much did you insert? And did you not torque the nuts just did them tight? Cheers

[@rolandsmith2141]

You know when your watching a Pro, methodic and meticulous.and your video skills are on a par.

[@MrHiroshixi]

Where I can find that gloves orange?? They are so strong.. You bought it from Amazon o something like that? Thank you! Amazing videos as always!!

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day Kevin it's incredible how much you have to take off so you can get at the clutch, one question have you ever taken it all apart and find out it's the wrong part ? That would happen to me, stay safe and good to see you again regards John

[@WMCS]

John it does happen. But I’ve got a great admin person that can get me the correct part wherever I am working within a few miles. All I need to do I just pick it up.

[@user-ox4eu3xi3s]

do you never get to a job with a clutch kit to find they also need a DMF aswell? or do you assume they will and take one inaway then return it to the shop if not needed?

[@WMCS]

I always replace any DMF with 3 piece clutch kit regardless. Otherwise it’s just false economy.

[@iChillArti]

I read on your website clutch problems so I have these: Hard 1st gear while lowering my gears, hard 2nd when accelerating, and sometimes grindy reverse (behind 1st gear). Also at 4k rmp it feels like limiter kicks in and it doesn't want to accelerate. So that is my clutch slipping with a bad mount?

[@WMCS]

Clutch pressure plate .., spring has weakened allowing all the mentioned symptoms to happen.

[@AH-nw8qg]

Hi, nice vid as usual 👍 Just a question : for which reason, do you put some grease on the gearbox bolt holes (37:50)? Many thanks.

[@WMCS]

Often times after being exposed to moisture. The thread will form a powdery rust which sizes the bolts. The grease has the anti seize compound

[@AH-nw8qg]

@@WMCS Ok, thanks 👍

[@ausbear]

Of all the cars you work on this one was practically routine.

[@WMCS]

Quite compacted in terms of room in the engine bay.

[@mistery7371]

Nice video ,thanks u so much🤝Seeing a professional like you do the clutch is like seeing an artist perform

[@WMCS]

Thankyou

[@as160494]

Hi, what is the red stuff you are applying to all the bolt holes [gearbox to engine face plate etc] @ 37:27 to 38:36......also it would be a good idea to display the type of tools , size of sockets /bits that you are using for each task etc.........good video !

[@billrimmer5596]

This old dog fought pretty good. But Kev was up to the task. Cool how u busted out the Ryobi angle grinder to show the ball joint who the boss was. I hate those 12 point CV bolts. I like the long locking extensions that won’t allow the socket to fall off. Also the rubber retainers at the bottom of the air box. I drill a tiny hole right by the grommet and shoot some WD. Then they just come out so easy. But who am I to advise the MAESTRO?

[@WMCS]

Bill you are right. The rubber grommet does get dry and makes it harder pulling the air box out. I always use lots of wd40. This time round the rust really had a drip on those fasteners... cutting disc was the only option. Hope your projects are coming along nicely and the Milwaukee tools making themselves invaluable... Always great to hear from you bill ..

[@billrimmer5596]

@@WMCS It’s certainly is nice to have that tool in your truck. I noticed u used to use a Ryobi impact in the old days. U probably have a few of the batteries around still. I have a few Ryobi tools too. These up close and personal vids must b hard to film. But I love em. All your stuff is excellent!! I divide the long ones into a few sittings. Very educational!!

[@glenswada]

I was thinking about trying to manhandle the gearbox down as done in this video but concerned if I was strong enough. So purchased a beam engine hoist (aka $70) to lower the gearbox down. When It was down I tested its weight. Lucky I got the hoist, a 1.9 TDI gearbox ain't light, the man has strong arms.

[@WMCS]

They can be a bit heavy if not handled correctly 😁🍻🍻🎄

[@thehandyguy]

I have a question about my Polo 9n, if you could help me. I feel like the difference between the biting point and stalling is minimal. In other cars I’ve driven I can hold the car on a hill with the clutch, but on mine it seems I can’t find the biting point without stalling, if I don’t give it gas. Could this be a sign of a slipping clutch? Thank you

[@WMCS]

Yea for sure.

[@as160494]

Hi, in the video at the point 12:00 to 12:33 , [after the drive shaft is dislodged/ pulled away from the engine ....Can anyone tell me why is it that the small FLANGE SHAFT with a centre BOLT (which the Drive Shaft was attached to) "has" to be removed form the engine also ????? What purpose does the removal of this Flange achieve or serve ???

Can you do a toolbox tour or link me to yours if you have

[@ub7455]

Very good Job

[@jaberchowdhury1094]

Hi hope your well and good. I have the same car... manual petrol. How much would this cost? I have the part already. Your response shall be greatly appreciated 🙂

[@lukasgodi7080]

34:46 when I saw a man in blue sneakers standing by your car, I was wondering if you had encountered the theft? You have the car open and unattended throughout your work. In our country in the Czech Republic, the car would be empty twice 😂😂😂

[@rrrimve]

Do you have video on Ford Ranger clutch replacement?

[@WMCS]

No sorry.

When those who design engines cars gearboxes have the option to design the must difficult design over all difficult design they really go in for it. No don’t make it easy for the mechanics says the engineers and designers.

I have just traded in my 2008 1.4 pole SE TDI after 12 years of ownership with 100,400 on the clock in the Sam colour it was needing some big jobs doing to get over 200.000 miles it was very reliable over there years my new car is 2015 Astra diesel which is a loot smoother and better ride and I like the extra room if it is has good has the polo I will be please the dealer made me an offer I could not now refuse

[@WMCS]

That’s a nice little upgrade. Astra are great and reliable.

[@andyellis307]

Now that one did look abit of a ball ache Kev😁 You do make them look so easy that anybody coukd do it but I do know thats not true👍

[@WMCS]

Andy the engine bay is quite compact.,, and you’re right it is a bit more difficult than the rest of the VW range.

[@thickFruitJuice]

That chord less impact drill thingy has long lasting battery. Mine wouldn't last that long.

[@WMCS]

I can go two days without recharge.
