2009 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi 1.9TDI PD Clutch Replacement

[@bigogr8731]

Hi Kevin, just wanted to thank yu for your videos, thanks to your detailed instructions i was able to perform a clutch replacement on my neigbours caddy 2013 1.6 tdi 5 speed manual.During this it was -10 but if you work and sweat a little bit you dont feel it.I have greate respect for you doing this in those envoirements, i needed 10hrs for this clutch , nomally as a full time job i would be able to do a swap every second or third day to regain power levels. I wish you the best for the future.

This mechanic clearly works-out judging by his strong athletic and physical appearance which would certainly be a great advantage when undertaking this element of work as it looks very labour intensive and certainly not for the faint hearted or physically challenged but I like others am going to give it a go after analysing this very informative tutorial despite no commentary which some KZbin up-loaders prefer to work in silence and may I say a very big thank you to the 'masked mechanic' for this great instructional and informative video, but he makes it look so easy and I am under no illusions the job will go as this smooth for me! And once more thank you again sir for taking the time and trouble to pass on your mechanical skills/knowledge to the world 👍

[@WMCS]

Thanks for taking time to leave a review. Very much appreciated 🍻🍻

Just done dual mass flywheel and clutch on 07 passat 1.9 with 215000 miles on it. This video was priceless. Saved me £500 labour. Took my time and with the other jobs, slave cylinder, cv boot, ball joint, anti roll drop links and engine oil change it took the day. Brilliant. Keep up the great videos. Efforts greatly appreciated. By the way, You made the gearbox look much lighter than I did!

[@emmanuelpascal66]

Absolutely stunning work. Master of Arts and engineering in my view. Thinking of doing mine…you just gave me confidence. Hope it remains there when I’m ready.

[@timg7127]

If you are thinking of it and have the tools then go for it.

[@aco4441]

Thank you from Germany for this great video. I did change the clutch incl. dual mass fly wheel following this video. Took me a „little“ bit longer than 53 minutes, but it worked out. Two remarks: for a self-made change it might be easier to change the clutch together with the dual mass fly wheel pre-mounted, for example from Sachs. Than you don’t have to use the centering tool. And the second one at 34:15 you first mount the bracket for the tube to the slave cylinder and than at 36:10 the holder for the gear shift. I think the other way around is better, as you cannot reach easily the back-end screw due to the bracket of the tube for slave cylinder in front of it. But again thank you from the other side of the Channel. This video saved me a couple of euros.

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback

[@buchhalterkimbo6934]

Great video, thx for your time recording this. Do the car needs an alignment?

[@Ex3t3r]

Thanks. Top man and a small token of my gratitude

[@WMCS]

Thanks Harry. It’s been well received and very much appreciated. You can co tact me anytime if there’s anything technical you may require some pointers. Don’t hesitate.

[@Ex3t3r]

Many thanks@@WMCS

[@davidstagg314]

Just finished replacing my transmission and clutch using this video. Super helpful, learnt a lot. Thanks mate. Now I gotta figure out why it won't start 😂 maybe I forgot to plug something back in

[@WMCS]

Be certain the earth strap is back on the bolt. And the starter motor plug is correctly and fully pushed back in.

[@paulbridger2539]

Great guide, used it to change the clutch and flywheel in my van recently, very informative.

[@davidstagg314]

Just removed my transmission with this video. Super informative

Your work, knowledge and experience is amazing. Did you enjoy puzzle books growing up? Thank you very much.

What a machine…. 100% ex SAS . This guy is unbelievable

[@castrolgtx5064]

Great stuff Kevin thanks for sharing 👍👍👍 That gear selector you always remove @ 17:09 in the video even though it’s splined I presume it only goes back one way?? Sometimes you have to shock it with long half inch drive extension when the 13 nut is removed…. Would like to see a close up shot of it if you think of it the next time you do one of those clutch’s, many thanks

[@shaunfreeman3007]

Hi Kevin great job as usual all the best Shaun

[@J0Min]

Thanks for the amazing video my friend

[@jemmace2586]

Great job Pal, ive just changed the driver's side drive Shaft on my car, same engine and gearbox i think? BXE. total nightmare, hahaha. You have some cool tools there but it's not easy still i know, being under the car on your back like that. I left putting the output flange seal's on and just topped the gear box up with tranny fluid. Ah well she'll keep fighting me along the way but won't beat me completely. Haha.

[@maverick507]

VW 👍💪 have a good weekend my friend

[@mattybean4039]

Another cracking job Kevin 👌

[@larjoe68]

Very helpful video. Thanks

[@EpicSqu1rrel]

Watched a few of your videos, always brilliant! i've just bought myself a caddy and if the the clutch packs in have this video on backup! thank you!

[@shorefishermanuk8081]

Did you use a locking tool for the gearbox linkage shaft? Or can it only go back on one way ?

[@philippebesnard3677]

I see you are doing regularly clutch replacement on VW family. Are you sollicited sometimes for clutch or flywheel replacement on DSG6/7 gear box ? Very nice video, as usual 👍

[@christopherhaygarth4828]

You got the 3/8 compact impact gun! Would you recommend? Is it light? I was thinking about getting it.

[@4ekushka]

Hi.My favourite of guns is Ingersoll-Rand 1/2 20v max open power 2040Nm.Recommended👍

[@cdonuts7335]

Is it worth replacing the crank angle sensor or if it's working best leave it alone? After watching your videos for years I'm ready to replace my clutch and dmf. Parts have arrived tools are laid out ready!

[@tanveerkhan9221]

Another great video by the genius

[@scottSJA98]

Hi Kevin. Great video! I recently noticed a van I’m interested in buying, an 06 Caddy 1.9 TDI (105) but it has a clutch issue. Previous owner replaced a burst clutch pipe and now the clutch doesn’t release - he says the clutch engages, disengages but the pedal doesn’t work as a clutch. What’s your thoughts on this? Experienced anything similar? Thanks in advance

[@dandyer8351]

Just out of intrest Which car would you say has been the hardest and easiest from what you have changed.

[@dandyer8351]

Nice work i have touran 1.9 have you change one on these before. looks very similar going to attempt it myself. Looks quite straight forward 🤞

[@SuperDeleski]

How much did this actual replacement cost in in the video mate

[@VWPassat_3BG]

Quick question, why did you apply red rubber grease on the bell housing bolt points? Also as far as i know red grease is for parts that contains rubbers like O rings etc..

[@norbeyrobleshurtado7165]

Eres un crack...si eso es sin hablar que tal si lo hiciera..👍👍👍👍

[@andy_v4443]

You not human you never heard ya groan moan or even swear 😂😂😂 Memory of an elephant 😂😂 remembering where all the nuts and bolts go back 😳 and wearing two pair of gloves how do ya feel anything 🤔 Excellent video and great job Kevin lad 👍👍👍👍

[@gicaionescu1976]

You are the best mate!!!

[@TurboDiesel06]

good job, it's hard when it's heavy gearboxes. If you can tell me how many Nm is your impact wrench. Thank you. Good continuation.

[@maxthecaddy8451]

1356 Nm of fastening torque and nut-busting torque of 1898 Nm

[@imafadhil9632]

well done , hard working man. just to ask . how is your charge as a mobile clutch man compeer to the garage? all the best

[@garydavis4228]

Is there any part of the video that shows just the clutch switch and how to remove it? Thanks

[@WMCS]

There’s more in depth videos showing it on the channel.

[@АзаматАзаматович-ю6б]

Приветствую вас! Удачи вам! 👏👌💪

[@jaybenjamin5649]

Hi mate when your doing a clutch do you also replace the release bearing ? Also do you inspect the flywheel before replacment of the clutch ? If you think the flywheel is no good do you recommend a replacment flywheel also or do you just bolt the new clutch on ?

[@WMCS]

Always replace the full kit. If it has a DMF replace it regardless

[@alexisarmero6067]

Increible como trabajas , like like like LIKE LIKE LIKE

[@valimilev2341]

[@plokijij7856]

What’s the part number of the dm flywheel and clutch? Please, there are a few choices online I’m a bit confused! Mine is a 2010 bls 1.9 tdi maxi

[@plokijij7856]

It’s ok I found it, and got it all done thanks to this video!

[@rnldmanuel88]

Hey William quick question are the drive shaft bolts on these VW's a stretch type ?

[@WMCS]

Yes they are. If not careful they will keep going till it snaps

[@bebeadi4866]

At minut 7 ,why do you remove that part from The gearbox,you can't do it whit it on The gearbox? I ask beacause i need to do The same operațiun.

[@WMCS]

This flange will anchor itself behind the flywheel. And that’s the last thing you need with the gearbox hanging.

[@rodtheplumb]

hi could you let me know the part number for the luk clutch kit i have the same van same year thanks.

[@bertchalmers]

Is this the 5 speed you also get in the SEAT Altea with the same engine?

[@WMCS]

Very similar

[@AH-nw8qg]

Hi Kevin 👋, how do you know if you need to bleed the clutch or not? Many thanks.

Mick thanks for the feedback… Chelmsford no probs 🍻🍻

[@GSXS1000OLDGIT]

Shall I message you on number ending 9067 for details & price etc.

[@chrisc9406]

Why drain the gearbox oil and why remove a driveshaft flange? Just curious that's all.

[@WMCS]

Chris I drain the oil because I need to remove the flange. Leaving the flange in situ becomes a bit of a problem pulling the gearbox out. It always seems to anchor itself at the back of the flywheel. Now it will come out but with a lot of faffing about.

[@cclow9494]

@@WMCS Thanks Kevin for your response. The level of detail in the filming and camera angles showing the necessary steps to complete the work is excellent. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. The rubber matting you use makes an excellent work area when working off the cold and wet floor. Atb Chris

[@roystheboy]

great job as that a duel mass

[@RolexJocke]

Do you really work with this on a daily basis? No torque wrench and no mounting tool for SAC clutch? Wondering how long the clutch lasts?

[@dustyfruit946]

What's this mounting tool for sac clutch. I've watched a number of clutch changes and only seen the centering tool. If this isn't correct, how come the clutch works at the end

[@carpydave]

[@jaba924]

great video, super helpful. But what's the purpose of removing the driver side driveshaft cup? and therefore having to drain the gearbox oil? does it just give you more space to remove the gearbox?

[@maxthecaddy8451]

yes the driveshaft cups can get in the way 👌

[@omegametinomegametin7439]

excelent 😁

[@abergbe1]

Hi Kevin! Why don't you expand your buisness also to exchanging cam belts. Many car owners who have bought their car second hand, worry about not knowing if earlier owners have done this.
