Thanks for posting this - I cringed when you coated your de Walt impact wrench with oil, but this video is REALLY helpful. I'm no mechanic, but I can follow a process and this is worth its weight in gold.
The problem with this clutch is NOT the pressure finger plate that looks like its missing at 34.20 mins. As this is a Sachs dual mass clutch which is normal construction . So what exactly was the problem?
Where was the broken spline,was it part of the friction disc. I wish you had pointed out the damaged area in more detail,as l failed to see this in your video.
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.
(*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)
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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sheTKD03hmo.htmlsi=wtMAOYca1ZnNzSe4
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 !
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.
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
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.
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?
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 ?
