Have a couple of questions if you don't mind. 1. Will you fit a clutch kit that the customer supplies ? 2. Which in your opinion is better quality, SACHS or LUK, I think the Sachs clutch is slightly more expensive, but I've also been "told" they are better quality ??

Hi just a quick one, I'm taking this job on myself, but I've been told I need the self adjusting clutch tool, although in the video, I see you use only the clutch alignment tool, how necessary is the self adjusting tool?

Hi. This is my first time watching one of your videos. Just an FYI. If you use a motorcycle jack, then you can use that to hold the transmission on and off the car. It will save your back. It will also make it pretty easy to put it back in there without tiring. I had to do the clutch on my mr2 twice and that motorcycle jack holds the transmission just perfect since they have that odd shape.

[@WMCS]

Thanks for the review.,, never had any issue using the £10 clutch alignment tool compared to the £1200 alignment tool .,, one thing I’ll point out tho., always tighten down bolts in increments until fully tight. And the adjuster in the clutch plate are there to pick up any slack as the friction plate wears down rather than a fitting adjustment.

Salut, encore une superbe vidéo, tu utilise quoi comme dégraissant ? nettoyant frein en bidon ou autre.

[@oxygen026]

Hey, was I in the same country, I would definitely let you work on my passat b6 2.0 TDI. Sadly I am not and I am now going from one mechanic to another, spending big bucks for such an old car - still, no help on horizon. Firstly, I had troubles shifting to first and reverse gear with the clutch fully engaged. Tried to lubricate the linkage joints, but no help. After some time, even with the clutch fully engaged, I could not shift out of 1st or reverse gear. The worst came after when the car actually tried to move when I was in 1st or reverse with the clutch fully engaged. Than pretty much all sounded like a faulty clutch (especially the third symptom, since whatever can be happening in the gearbox, the clutch needs to disconnect it from the wheels and car cannot be trying to move). So I got the clutch replaced (including the slave cylinder and flywheel). Couple of minutes of driving and the same symptoms reappeared. After that, I got the master cylinder replaced, seemed pretty logical since the pedal also felt a bit "jumpy" from time to time it did not exactly follow my foot when disengaging the cluch, but moved akwardly slowly and then jumped. It did not help and in addition, the mechanic damaged the wiring so I constanly had a fault reappearing (clutch valve implausible signal). So I went to another mechanic so he can take a look and find the cause. He again, swapped the master cylinder because of the implausible signal, but he could not unveil the real issue. He said that there is no leak or anything similar. Very important point is that after I start the car, the clutch works fine. However, after like 15 minutes of driving, changing gears, it starts acting that way and it gets worse with more driving. Again, after driving in one gear for a longer time or leaving the car over night, it becomes "normal" until I drive it a little and use the clutch. The hydraulic system was bled as well. To me, it sounds like some component (e.g. high pressure hose expands under heat and then becomes normal) or something else that causes loss of presure in the hydraulic system. I am desparate, it already easily costed me a half of the cars worth. Please, any idea?

[@WMCS]

The pressure plate is worn. Once the metal gets hot the springs gets weaker therefore not fully disengaging the clutch. Replace the whole lock, stock and Barrel

[@oxygen026]

I just got the whole new kit like a month ago without any change.

Great video😊 I also had a non SAC clutch from Sachs original, but the new one I ordered is a Luk-SAC clutch. On my parts it looks like the new parts vs. old parts have some different meassurements; fingers on the diaphragm spring is sticking more far out from the pressure plate than the old one. Have you had any concerns with this? Or is it just the design that fools me, and the total distance from the crank to the fingers is the same as the old one? Is it common to change from non SAC to SAC clutch?

[@WMCS]

Do not fit it. It will not work. It has to be one or another. Either you fit a complete LUK Kit. Or a complete Sachs kit.

[@ErlandStrendo]

Thanks for your reply😀 The new parts is a Luk kit with clutch and DMF. And today i saw that the original Sachs clutch and DMF on my car looks to be a SAC clutch after all.

Hello! I watched with interest how you changed the clutch to the 2007 Passat. Great!👌 I would have 2 questions: 1) Last week I changed the following at my Diesel Passat (BKP 2005) to a service in Austria: Reconditioned gearbox (6-speed manual HDV), new complete clutch kit from Valeo and shift cable - new (3C0 711 265AD). The company from which I bought the reconditioned gearbox (Getriebezentrum Europa) , expressly requested in the Warranty Certificate that 3.8L oil be poured into the gearbox because the gearbox was completely disassembled and reconditioned (those from VW in Exchange say 2,3-2,4 Even if the box has been completely disassembled), The same Company says further: it should be changed after between 500-1500Km and again after 20000km, on the contrary, I do not benefit from the guarantee. What do you think? What do you think about quantity? Why is there such a difference from what VW says? Have you ever encountered something like this? 2) Now when I start from the spot, while I leave the clutch slightly and accelerate at the same time, in the middle of the clutch pedal stroke, there is a tremor (the car shakes a little at that moment, which is also felt by the other passengers). The same thing happens when I want to stop and apply the clutch before applying the brake (speed of 3-5 km / hour). At the service I complained about this fact which was not present before and He was told to drive 1000km, until the components run in because they are new (I didn't feel anything before because there were lose) ... He said he also made the necessary adjustments to reset the cables / gearbox. However... Today I took the car out of service and I keep thinking about these 2 problems. From what can it be? Have you ever faced such problems? Thanks! 👋

[@WMCS]

Definitely follow the gearbox company’s instructions. This will make sure all the gears are properly coated with oil. Then drain and re fill with correct amount. Did you change the clutch kit and flywheel..?

[@adrian-stefan3053]

@@WMCS Sure, as I wrote I changed everything starting from the hydraulic pressure bearing to the double table flywheel everything new from Valeo (because the kit from Sachs arrived incomplete-without flywheel and the mechanic said to mount it) . Today I was to VW to change winter wheel and he said that is not normal. It's a problem with clutch- but what? They can't get involved in the work done by another service, but they can mount them again if I want - for a fee of course.

Not normal at all. It should be very soft the pedal. LUK is good for that particular model .,, either your master cylinder is faulty which may have trapped air and will cause the hard pedal or the clutch fork is not sited correctly

I have the same engine (bkd). How much will a sachs kit (flywheel, clutch and csc bearing) and labour cost me Kevin? Thanking you in advance.

[@WMCS]

Hi there. If you send over your details and I’ll put a quotation together for you. www.williamsmobileclutch.co.uk Regards. Kevin-Albert.

Why didn't you leave the driveshaft flange in place on the drivers side ?

[@WMCS]

It would have anchored itself behind the flywheel

[@oscarmontero5724]

Good work and clear space! I might say that VW is a bit boring. Some red rubber grease in the joining cup of the drivestaft to avoid leaking? I still wonder how you manage to change the hydraulic jack position to raise the engine... 600 luk points is about a bag of peanuts or something? 😄 It seems you changed the syringe and the pressurized brake cleaner. Thank you very much for the video!

[@WMCS]

600 points you get just the bag of nuts without the peanuts .. Yes a new syringe. New pressure bottle new jack yet to be used and some replacement tools .,, I believe in re investing in my work tools and equipment before they fail.. Swapping the jack to the gearbox I can’t show on video due to health and safety. .,, I hold the gearbox with one hand and swap the jack with the other hand ..,,

[@davidbrady9073]

Lovely job... is that a performance flywheel and clutch? Love the video and attention to detail with cleaning and greasing.. your techniques are awesome... wonder how much you would charge?? 😂

[@poppo2003]

Great work every time 💪👍. What kind of degreaser do you use in the pump sprayer??

[@markknights5109]
