Back In The Garage For Some MAJOR Repairs

Join us on an exciting journey as we bring our self-built VW Crafter campervan back to the garage for some major renovations. In this compelling video, we document the remarkable transformation of our beloved campervan, as we tackle the crucial tasks of rebuilding the engine and replacing the flywheel and clutch.
Over the past few weeks, we poured our hearts and skills into rebuilding the engine, ensuring that our campervan would be in top-notch condition for our future adventures. But the story doesn't end there! Realizing that some worn-out components needed attention, we set our sights on replacing the ageing clutch and addressing the persistent knocking sound coming from the flywheel.
With a sense of excitement and a touch of relief, we made our way to Scallions Autos, a renowned garage located in Liverpool. Their expertise and commitment to quality assured us that our campervan would receive the care and attention it deserved.
Through this video, we invite you to witness the process firsthand. Watch as skilled technicians meticulously disassemble and replace the worn-out clutch, ensuring smooth gear transitions and enhanced driving performance. Observe the expertise with which the faulty flywheel is removed and replaced, eliminating the persistent knocking noise that had been plaguing our travels.
We'll provide insightful commentary and explanations, guiding you through the intricacies of the repairs and shedding light on the importance of regular maintenance for vehicles like ours. Feel the satisfaction and anticipation as our campervan is revitalized, ready to embark on countless new adventures with renewed vigour.
Join us on this captivating journey as we combine our passion for campervan life with the pursuit of mechanical excellence. Witness the dedication, the challenges, and the ultimate triumph as we breathe new life into our VW Crafter campervan, ensuring many more unforgettable memories await us on the open road.

As always another great video, as l get older you do less things under your car as a teenager I’ll be climbing under the car pulling out driveshaft ,gearboxes and motors with today’s car with all the computer stuff it’s better to get a professional to do it

[@UrbanVanlife]

Mate I know the feeling there . Everything hurts more

[@ambydaly5713]

Duel mass flywheels are a pain. There was nothing wrong with the old system apart from half the cost??

[@matth1210]

Hats off to you neil you don't cut any corners loving your video's

[@UrbanVanlife]

Cheers mate . After the break down we thought we would tackle it all

[@crafter63]

Thanks for sharing this vlog.

[@UrbanVanlife]

My pleasure 😊

[@chrisdavison2022]

Brakes...? Maybe change the whole brake fluid while on....? Looking to do mine as it looks 'old'....

[@UrbanVanlife]

Weird you say that lol that was the next job we did

[@rickwallace2091]

Man o man. Your right. That repair is not for any shade-tree mechanic. Nice vid Neil. Great respect for the mechanics that pulled it off. Tell the cutie to wear surgical gloves and save her nails. . Can you advise how many hours labour, and total cost?

[@UrbanVanlife]

4hrs mate I paid but I don’t know if I got mates rates but it was close to £750 for the parts and labor .

[@whippetsadventuresandoneman]

Great video bud, can I ask when should you change the clutch and flywheel on crafter? ❤

[@UrbanVanlife]

I have no answer to that mate . Our fly wheel was knocking to may be that’s a sign . But I’m guessing if your doing one then defo change the lot

[@bettyourcampervan]

Another ace one 👍👍

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thanks guys

[@ifell3]

Awesome, any rusted in chassis bolts that snapped or broken free the captive nut? Did he have a electromagnetic coil?

[@UrbanVanlife]
