2004 Skoda Fabia clutch replacement
In this video we show how to remove the gearbox drive shaft and all the other bits you need to remove the gearbox
As always when you're replacing a clutch on any car always replace with the full clutch kit don't try and save money by just replacing the clutch because in the long run it will cause you more delays and cost you more money also try and replace with a branded clutch as the cheap Clutches don't really last

Love the comment about using a socket with a lifetime warranty... As a DIYer I use (mainly) Halfords Pro tools which has lifetime warranty on anything except the moving parts of ratchets etc. Came in handy when one of our old Aygo's needed new pads & discs and the discs had never been off and the screws on the discs were more than tight. Popped the torx socket in there gave it a good whacking there and whacked straight on the back of the socket. Broke the socket on the last screw, popped down the road and they swapped it straight out no questions asked despite it looking clearly worse for wear.

James Swinyard cannot beat lifetime guarantee mate

The first thing I do when buying a used car is buy a proper manual for it (Chilton's, Haynes or even OEM). It saves you money and frustration in the long run.

[@imnobody4522]

The first thing I do, and recommend, after buying any used car is buy the shop manual for the car (Chilton, Haynes, or OEM) there's a wealth of information you just don't get from a KZbin video, even when in series. It's very easy to go back and re-read a section when you don't quite understand.

[@jugiuliano8040]

Great video to demonstrate how some of the trade treat your vehicle and why i would steer well away and just diy instead.......no pain no gain people.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

You obviously got a lot of spare time on your hands To leave all these comments on my videos Time well spent practising If you put as much effort into practicing as you do in these comments you will get a lot more views on your videos👍👍👍

[@CoreMaster111]

I am taking apart my Skoda Rapids engine and so I had to remove the tranmission aswell, probably needs a new clutch anyway. It's abosultely insane how some of the stuff is designed/engineered. In your case you could atleast remove the exhauts if you wanted because you can unbolt the pipe from the cat but on my car it's a single piece. You have to undo the whole thing from the turbo but inorder to do that you have to remove heatshield from around the turbo and to do that you need to remove metal coolant pipes, oil pipe for the turbo and the bloody O2 sensor which you can't even properly access with a wrench. I don't understand what is wrong with them at Audi/VW. Why do they insist making so many bad design choices while at the same time they can also make some really good stuff.

[@vdubs6068]

Great vid Leon. Used to have a fabia vrs pd130 with hybrid turbo was a little rocket. Cheers Jamie

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Vdubs 60 lol

[@johnocallaghan9252]

Very common problem in Volkswagons/Skodas the clutch.

[@stuzman52]

Great work Leon and that looks like one aggravating job. And the part of getting that CV axle out would probably have me throwing tools around :) Yep, the clutch looked to be in pretty bad shape for sure!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

stuzman that's what you get when you ride the clutch I think he had his son using it as a learner car which doesn't help the poor clutch driveshaft video coming soon

[@stevesweet2567]

Looking t the wear on that plate i'd say it was binding on the input shaft splines

[@8ile]

What's the average mileage for a car to come in for a new clutch? Most of the cars in my family need new clutches at 120,000-ish on Ford's and about 140-150,000 on Merc's.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

8ile it all depends mate on how you drive who drives it and all that is possible to destroy a clutch in five minutes then I have seen touches to go over 250000 miles

[@ericcorse]

The owner got their money worth from that clutch. I agree the battery box is crazy.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lol the f******g battery box

[@SouthMainAuto]

A 1.2? Is that a 3cyl? Is it wrong that I enjoyed watching you pound the hell out of that CV axle? You need to get Big Nasty, it will make your life easier :)

[@mh87351]

just checked the wiki and sure enough it is a 3 cylinder weirdly they offered a 1.0 liter that was a 4 cylinder so go figure.

[@zoidberg444]

Yeah. Should be. A lot of smaller VAG vehicles have these 1.0 and 1.2 3 cylinder engines now. 3 cylinders are becoming quite popular on this side of the pond. They are replacing the smaller 4 cylinder engines or will do in the near future and some manufacturers like Ford are trying to replace the larger normally aspirated engines with turbocharged 3 cylinders that are supposed to have the same power but better fuel economy.

[@AdrianKingsleyHughes]

Big Nasty would have shaken that car to bits!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lol i got big nasty daddy coming soon we will have a hammer off

[@ZanderKaneUK]

South Main Auto Repair A 1.2 litre 3 banger with a small turbo if I'm not mistaken (1.2 TSi VAG group engine).

[@Chris_905]

wow that looks well fried , could someone of been riding that clutch pedal a little too often ?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

chris90 I'd say not too often all the time

[@paulmayou370]

battery box suprised aint got an electric blanket too lol and was that new bolt left inside the gearbox by any chance

[@SteveRobReviews]

HAHA no friction material at all . LOL Nice one buddy.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lol thanks mate

[@alexandrugarboan2010]

Hi, of course I am one of your subscribers and I love your videos, very useful. I have a skoda 2000 1.9 sdi diesel and the gearbox is bad, can you please help with any information on how to not buy the wrong gearbox and to not have the surprise of not a correct one. I don't want to take mine off before I find a great deal gearbox online. Thanks, Alex

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Alexandru Garboan hi mate if you ring any good scrap yard up they will take the engine code from you and they will match up the right gearbox as regards getting one that is good at the end of the day it's a second hand gear box there is no guarantees in this game but you can spin the output shaft just to make sure it's pins nice and freely then wiggle it up and down and make sure there isn't a lot of movement in the output shaft you can also go to the gear selector and select the gears as you spin it this is all you can really do without putting it in the car

[@alexandrugarboan2010]

bodgit and leggit garage thanks mate, I would love to open the gearbox and repair it but I am afraid to order parts and getting more expensive than another second hand gearbox. Thanks again mate

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

Alexandru Garboan yes mate it definitely would cost a fortune doing it that way but if you get a second-hand one you can always open it and have fun with the old one but if you do you should film it and put it on KZbin so we can see

[@alexandrugarboan2010]

bodgit and leggit garage yes mate, If I have enough time I will have some fun for free, it's always worthy. Thanks again for your lot of support and information mate

[@OneAuto]

Wow that Driveshaft was a bitch. At 15:03 I thought you had a Thomas tattoo on ya head!

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

One Auto, yes mate it was seized I've never seen one seized like this before I'm making a follow up video to Thomas this video will be up next week the tattoo will be going on my arm

[@0121cole]

should have made it a bit easy for you self remover the nsf lower arrm and semi subframe along with the nsf wheel arch liner

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Maintenance was clearly not a parameter in the design process of that car

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lol

[@taximan5407]

Hi SIR i have skoda rapid 1.6 TDI For clutch replace should i drop subframe or not Thanxs

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lethal0weapon7777]

Thanks mate this was a great help. 😀

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lethal0weapon7777 thanks mate glad you enjoyed it but I can help

[@lethal0weapon7777]

bodgit and leggit garage Also how difficult would this be without air tools?

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lethal0weapon7777 it would just make things longer but you can still manage without air tools air tools just make your life so much easier

[@lethal0weapon7777]

bodgit and leggit garage Good news got the gearbox off this afternoon however, would I need to change the flywheel as well been told it's a smf but I'm not too sure how to tell really. By the way it's a 1.9 tdi engine code: ATD with the 5 speed box. Thanks

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

lethal0weapon7777 hi mate I'm not sure if the top of my head what flywheel is on that the easiest way to tell is a dual mass flywheel is very thick and you should be able to hold it and slightly twist it if you cannot do this you do not have a dual mass flywheel and you do not need to change it unless it is very badly damaged with heat

[@ursachevasile2393]

22:07 Thats me when i try to fix something

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

[@stefanbrown8176]

[@billhanson4921]

[@-DC-]
