How to remove a VW Up gearbox (Knocks in reverse gear) - VOLKSWAGEN 

Big thank you for this superb video, I’m no stranger to working on cars, but this is all very much more modern than I’m used to, so to see all the horrible little clips and brackets in your video was a huge help. Clutch kit changed and the loud rattle at 3K rpm+ is now gone. Took me about 3 1/2 - 4 hours but a huge saving on the cost at my local garage. Once again, many thanks.

cant you make a video of a new clutch for the UP Thanks pro

How do you refill the gearbox oil, thanks

What a wonderful video I have owned 3 BMWs currently have an X3MC but also I own a Vw up Tsi

Awesome video!!! Kudos to you and thank you for sharing…

Thank you very much for clear video-process!

Hi man! After 2 years here I come again hahaha, I have 2 ups both bought used, one is smooth shifting (original clutch, 90.000 km), the other (cluch changed by an unknown mechanic while in the hands of previous owner, current cluch has 85.000km) gives me the sensation that even if I fully press the pedal its like the clutch should disengage a little more, the gear changes are clunckier and sometimes (1 out of 30 approx.) the first gear sticks and I need to re engage the clutch releasing the c. pedal while still in 1st give a little gas and then will go in 2nd gear, sometimes is also stiff to go out of 2nd gear and there is a little click to go past to enter 3rd and also enetering 3rd not so smooth as the "good" car, also I noticed on the well behaving car the bite point of the clutch pedal it's a longer travel, the poor behaving car has a shorter distance from pedal fully depressed to bite point, moving out of stoplights I don't feel as the clutch of the "bad" car is gone, what would you do? Ps. I changed on both gearbox oil myself so quantity and quality is the same (75w gl4)

Hi, this is a great video well explained and have you done a video to remove an automatic gearbox. I have worked on cars but never replaced a clutch. I have a VW UP 2013 Automatic and the clutch is slipping. After watching your video I have started to remove the clutch. I have removed all the top bolts, a stater motor. I am unable to remove the bolt from the stater motor bell housing. I am not sure which wire looms/plugs to disconnect and how they are secured. Tomorrow I am going to remove the oil, drive shaft, and all the bottom bolts. Also which clutch should I buy, the listing says semi automatic or manual gearbox operated by a control unit. What oil would you recommend. Thanks

First off, awesome video. Great camera angles which really helped me figure this process out. I have 2 questions. How in the world did that gear selector mechanism come off so easily (the one held in by the balance weight)? Mine does not want to come off at all. Secondly, has there been any update on the engine brace situation? Have you seen a commercially available one which could be used for the up? Thanks in advance!

Очень полезное видео!

Was this for the TSI engine? Or the tsi is very different from this?

On a right hand drive UP. If the near side/passenger side drive shaft is removed, should the driver side wheel still spin?

good video

Thank you! Can you say what cause the common rattling noise from those gearboxes ?

Mine cant shift into the 5th gear. It does intermittently and then the engine check lights up. My diagnostics machine says something like gear selector difficult movement? Would you know how i approach this?

Thank you for that video. I think next time i have to change the clutch, pressure plate and release bearing due to some rattle sound only if the clutch is disconnected on my wive's up. Could you recommend me a tool to hold the engine (I don't know the right word for the bridge on the top of the engine)? Thank you.

Thanks! question: if you coast in neutral at let's say 100km/h does the splash lubrication of this gearbox works or is it linked to rpm so you need to be in gear to lubricate properly?

Hi, my VW up is a ASG auto. Struggling to get into reverse. I have to sometimes turn car off and on then go from D1 straight to R for it to engage with a loud clunk sound? What do you think needs repairing as I just bought it and hope it doesn’t cost much unluckily the private seller hid the fault from me and I found out upon arriving back home. Morning try to reverse with no luck until messing with gears etc usually trying to drive forwards then reverse works after. Appreciate any advice. Thanks

i have to change clutch tommorrow and it's my first time.

Hi, my polo 2010 does kinda same but only when having alot of torque and low speed. For example 1-3kmh and reversing to a hill. Do you think i might have something to do with reverse gear

Im not sure if you still answer questions but here it goes... For one thanks for the vid, my gear stick struggles to get into first and grinds going into reverse, could it be a problem with the master cylinder or slave or fluid change lol

I’m guessing it will be pretty much the same for a seat mii? I’m probably gonna have to do the wife’s soon, I’m a coach mechanic so know my way round the spanner’s but stuffs usually a bit bigger - I usually avoid cars at all costs

hello! could you help me with some advice? the fact is that my volkswagen up! (2013, the gearbox is robotic) needed a box replacement due to an adaptation error. In the process of replacement, the thermostat housing was damaged. I'm trying to find information - was there a need to remove it in the process of replacing the gearbox - and I can't find it.. after watching your video about the removal, I did not see that the thermostat housing interfered, and the car is now in service and is not available to me. Could you tell me if the thermostat really interferes?

You are Profi

how many liters oil does this gearbox need manufacturer says 75w 80w oil is good,, I have 75w 90w is this bad for the gearbox ? ( code is QDA )

If you were replacing the clutch would you do the same?

Does anyone know how I can download the up Tsi workshop please?

Hi guys can you tell me how much gear oil this bax need exactly please?
