Anyone else have screen go black from 42:27 to 45:15 ?

[@gregcrabb3497]

Trying to watch as many vids as I can for this. I've taken engines apart and put them back together successfully so I'm sure I have the skill for this. I just don't want to pay a fortune to someone else for something I can do myself.

[@therealboxy]

Fantastic video. Gave me the confidence to do my own.

[@callumreid84]

Brilliant work mate just watched this before doing my own on the deck too 👍

[@Will-be8fl]

You made that look easy. Thanks for the video it was very useful.

[@emilioguitart3754]

Really nice job, I just do my first clutch, only possible with your help!

[@starlite3597]

that must be a killer in the summer days fair play

[@dunebasher1971]

Thanks for this, I will need to do this job on a 2008 Golf Plus 1.9 TDI soon. Do you not need to use an engine support bar?

[@starlite3597]

nice work how many pairs of gloves were destroyed in this process lol

[@TheMoonhead30]

Where you located? Do you cover dn14 area an how much is flywheel clutch etc on seat leon 1.9 tdi bxe?

[@khavafis]

Would it be the same on a 2005 Jetta TDI?

[@j.m.1161]

Is the process identical for a 2007 Jetta 2.5L?

[@eddienolan7129]

(*Edit:See reply comment for gear cable adjustment that worked for me*) Ive got the clutch changed and gearbox back on, but gears are very clunky/ hard to select (with car still up on stands and still turned off). I've bled the system, maybe it needs more bleeding, or would a gear adjustment help? (I haven't refilled gearbox oil yet either, hence why i haven't started her up again yet)

[@eddienolan7129]

Was still very clunky after gearbox refill. Turns out the gear cables at the linkage did need an adjustment (see tutorial link below). There's a knack to how tight to pull the slack out of the cable, you need to pull it taught but not with any excess force at all. I tried it several times, at first attempt all but 1st gear would shift, then after another adjustment all but 2nd would shift. When finally after several attempts i got the cable tight just perfect, then all 5 plus reverse shifted smooth a butter (and still do after 2 weeks driving so far since). As he says in the video link below, the cable nearest the engine block is the more important one to adjust perfectly kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZnIhX56ZZibo9Esi=wtMAOYca1ZnNzSe4

[@emilioguitart3754]

Really nice job, how much torque are you using in the impact wrench when flywheel bolts??

[@sethmichaelson6972]

Don’t use an impact on flywheel bolts use a torque wrench

[@emilioguitart3754]

@@sethmichaelson6972 that’s is the reason for my question, this profesional is using only the impact wrench and I’m curious about that.

[@starlite3597]

@@emilioguitart3754 I thought same thing wasn't torqued up to spec

[@eddienolan7129]

Think it would be possible to slide the gear box off the spline, if the driveshaft of that side still is attached to the hub? If i tie detached end of the driveshaft up out if the way i mean. I'm having a nightmare with tryin to undo the axle bolt to be able to completely remove that driveshaft

[@MobileClutchRepair]

Yes you can definitely get the box out if the nearside or offside wont come out the hub just detach from gearbox side and tie out of the way and the box will come out no problem.

[@eddienolan7129]

@MobileClutchRepair Ah happy days, will give that a go, cheers for the quick reply

[@eddienolan7129]

Can't see a pilot bearing on my 1.9 (Or in this video either). Is the spline shaft of the gearbox not supposed to sit into a pilot bearing in the centre of the rear main seal crank shaft?

[@MobileClutchRepair]

No pilot bearings on these. Just fit and your good to go! Thanks for watching.

[@eddienolan7129]

@@MobileClutchRepair Ah! Great. Thanks for the quick reply again!

[@dandyer8351]

Was this a 6spd box. Looks identical to my my touran 1.9. Gonna attempt this in week or so, doesnt look too bad really this vid is gonna be a huge help thanks for posting. Top work !

[@MobileClutchRepair]

hi there im not sure what speed this one was, but they are all the same setup across the Volkswagen Skoda and Audi range with only minor differences, i have a more recent 2009 Passat video that might help you also on the channel also. thanks for watching.

[@MobileClutchRepair]

[@menorthedge]

Bro plz show your tool

[@beetle72]

filth

[@andrewstannard3502]

Trying to copy that Williams mobile clutch fitter lol

[@MobileClutchRepair]

He actually introduced me to it all, We speak regularly.

[@andrewstannard3502]

That explains the very simular style

[@cornel45adrian27]

You don't need to remove the oil. Just remove both drive shaft , ONLY ,. No oil will come out.

[@MobileClutchRepair]

We always give the customer the option to change the oil when clutch is changed. Otherwise it never gets done.

[@cornel45adrian27]

@@MobileClutchRepair ok now I understand you have absolutely right.

[@57MJMJ]

So you don't need to remove gearbox oil to change clutch and flywheel. I assume it won't leak out when you remove the cv cup on the gearbox? Or would you need to leave that on to stop drainage ?

[@cornel45adrian27]

@@57MJMJ you can remove also the cv cup and no oil will cum out.

[@57MJMJ]

@cornel45adrian27 okay fantastic thank you !
