2011 Volkswagen Passat 2.0L Diesel Clutch Replacement

[@shawnandrews8575]

I’m a mechanic and it’s tough enough indoors with a lift God bless you doing it outside in the rain All my respect ✊ to you

[@project6287]

true !

[@brockcallan7355]

You all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

[@harlanterrell7929]

@Brock Callan Instablaster =)

[@brockcallan7355]

@Harlan Terrell I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@brockcallan7355]

@Harlan Terrell It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@humbertofiguereo4096]

This one is hardcore!! Respect for doing it like this! 👍🏼

[@jonasjurkus8205]

After watched this video i decided to replace my clucth be my self instead of going to workshop, and af course me and my cousin we was "clever" and did a bit different, end up with same troubles.I want to tell that this man is doing every single step with reason and if you follow him you never gonna be in trouble, REAL MASTER 💯 BTW i found wrong clutch in my car "single mass" from 1.6 and i have 2.0 so now it runs so nice with a correct one.Thank you for this video!

[@petrfaigl1973]

Hi, I also work as a car mechanic with the Czech Republic. Your videos on KZbin are really incredible. You are an excellent mechanic. You have my admiration. Working alone and on the ground outside is challenging

Always a good feeling when the box slots in and first bolt started on the home run

[@CB-fv4vv]

You work in really daunting conditions, but you do it great!

[@BlueHaze7024]

Lots of diesels on this channel we do not get in the United States. Amazing work. You are an inspiration.

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the feedback 🍻🍻 Diesel technology is far better than petrol. More mpg. More torque. More reliable all round. It’s very good.

[@goldenretriever6261]

I have a gas version of this car in Canada, would rather have it in diesel.

[@andrewirving1963]

I'd pay you double for the work you've done in tricky conditions, well done Mr.

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

A strap around the anti roll bar and the flywheel a couple times. Teeth stop it spinning when you torque up: It's self tightening when it starts to turn because the strap just gets tighter. Amazing work man. Need a hose into bottle to blead clutch good cos it sucks back the fluid each pump meaning you never suck back in air. Can just pump 10 times. Leave clutch up, refil reservoir before tightening nipple and it will have blead some more in that time. This job is much longer than the older 1.9 TDI PD engines! The same but everything is a bit harder and more hidden bolts.

[@richardmason1273]

Brilliant mechanic remember many years ago gearbox on the belly. Hardcore. Hope your customers pay you well for a top notch service.

[@WMCS]

Thank you.

[@brazidas58]

When I first posted my comment I had not realized that you do this for a living ,thought was a DIY. In any case do you extraordinary work. This is strenuous and dangerous working . I work on aircraft and lots of times we work outside in terrible weather conditions ,feel for you man. Don't see any feminist out there doing this haha

[@stijepozupa5150]

Dear Mr.Kevin Albert Williams:When i look your vids it seems that we are in pit or parc ferme of rally team but just one pro in action,i really appreciate you and your pro abilities,the best part of every your video is for me is start when you are taking snap on and milwaukee aku wrenches into tray,second when gearbox is out and when clutch is assembled,let Jesus Christ bless you and take care of you and your family.best regards Mr.Kevin Albert Williams from Stijepo-Croatia.

[@WMCS]

Thank you and god bless you too.

[@JohnDoe-wr6em]

You got my sincerest respect for that good and hard work. So I am from germany and can´t expect you guys comming over :-) I´m doing a lot of stuff on my car (Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI 125kw) on my own. I do it like you do, outside with no garage or anything protecting me against the weather. Changing the cylinder head, turbo, DPF, wheel bearing (front right), oil pump (yes Audi problem with the hexagon oil pump drive shaft) or diesel injectors (sh-te Siemens injectors and no good aftermarket parts to get to replace them). Well I own that car since Feb. 2010 and it has right now nearby 400k km = 250k miles. But when my clutch needed to be replaced (320k km = 200k miles) and no one was able to assist me I decided to ask a friend who owns a repair shop to do it. I thought it would be to dangerous and to tough to lift that gearbox alone and gave in.

[@9756gabriel]

True man! True mechanical. It is clear that nothing can stop him. It is a real sacrifice to stay under the cars regardless of the weather

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

You must be tall! I always do the top side first before jacking it up. Makes it easier to work on at ground level for me. I put wheels back on and jack down before finishing the top again. Absolutely no chance I can lift a box back up and on without a transmission scissor jack. You are in extremely good shape to do this day in day out! Consider an electric massage chair.lol. keep up the good work. I really enjoy these videos.

[@mattguyette8456]

Dude. If you ever visit South Carolina I owe you a steak dinner and a bottle of scotch. You saved me $2,500.

[@WMCS]

Thanks mate. Maybe one day.

[@CoolXZero]

Hello, greetings from Germany . You are a top mechanic and do a great job. Something like that is missing here in Germany

[@eagle-ry5ds]

For repairs in the field, definitely like. Non-standard repair conditions with good preparation and tools, with respect from Russia!

[@WMCS]

Thanks eagle. Really appreciate the feedback

Amazing work as always kev, nice to see you got an electric ratchet speed things up a bit.. one day am waiting to see the video of you doing a clutch in a full blown thunder storm Stay safe

[@WMCS]

Ben I’ll take you up on that Storm challenge. Ratchet is awesome

[@Andyspeeder7]

Been there, you can keep that challenge, can deal with the cold but when you start getting leaks in your wet weather gear it goes from bad to worse and when the water in the ground is so wetnthat if you drop a bolt you need to chase it down the street before it gets to a drain...... Stay away from that challenge mucker 😆😆

[@kboyle90]

thanks for not giving a life story before starting this! commentary was on point too!

[@WMCS]

Glad you enjoyed the narration ., took me a while to write that script 🍻

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for sharing. Details are very important.

[@algypan]

I used the same procedure on my Bora for bleeding clutch and for some reason every now and again my clutch pedal seems to dip all the way to the floor and the bite point seems to change. It's really odd. More prominent in cold weather but I can't get my head around it. I love watching your vids though! You seem really passionate about your job and you have to put up with some terrible weather here in the UK.

Thanks very helpful. Took me only 9 hours easy job😆

Great job Kevin, glad to see you working on another VW Passat, just the weather didn’t serve you well though.👌👍

Hey Denin.,, nice to hear from you. Did you manage some extra work on your vehicle.

[@deninsrmic4165]

@@WMCS Hi Kevin, yes I did. My car runs so smoothly now since you replaced my clutch and DMF. What do you think, was it for you easier to work on B7 (this Passat) or mine (B6) Passat in regards to clutch and DMF replacement? Thanks Kevin 🍻

I bet the best thing that you ever bought was the rubber mats for your knees and back. I used to use cardboard and plastic sheets. Done a few clutch replacement as and dropping those gearboxes is not any fun. All done with a socket set and a wheel brace.Good luck hope you don’t get arthritis in your knees.

Did this same job on on a pd130 A3 not really any room to maneuver the box past the subframe so the subframe had to be dropped to give more clearance, didn't have to change the DMF though
