I dnt own a car at the moment but am looking at a Golf R manual as my first and i was searching for issues associated with it. Loved the video by the way
Great content 👍 keep them video’s coming. I am in the middle of taking my Golf R transmission out as well and having a hard time removing those couple bolts on the upper side of the transfer case. The space there is so confined 😬
A DMF is good for NVH. I went the SMF route once and I hated the resonance it cause throughout the car in specific RPM ranges. Great video though. I will be using this for my replacement in the spring.
I could never take on this but good job. I've just had mine replaced and went for a helix clutch and they say it can handle stage 3 with a stock feel and I have to say its true. There is no clutch noise at all and the peddle is only a little harder. I don't even need to think about it. I haven't given it any yet as it's the first few days. Waiting for the next video to see how yours is
Appreciate the install tips given. It'll help. How have you found the ECS clutch now that its been installed and used for over a year. I've been looking at that clutch. It could be a very cost effective solution to my slipping Gti Mk7 clutch Did it live up to expectations ? I want to keep the OEM feel as much as possible.
@CANADIAN Videos Thanks for ultra detailed video., i have a question., i have a Mk7 Golf 1.6 TDI (5 speed manual transmission)., So do you know is there single mass or dual mass flywheel? my car., Best regards..
Nearly all new cars and especially four cylinder cars with manual transmissions will come with a dual mass flywheel. Four cylinder engines have more vibrations due to the combustion firing imbalance that results from having fewer cylinders than a 6 or 8 cylinder engine. The dual mass flywheel absorbs that excess vibration. Speaking of which, I ended up going back to a dual mass flywheel in the end because of this. This car exhibits bad NVH (vibrations and noise) with a single mass flywheel. I couldn’t even floor the throttle below 2,300rpm because it felt like the car was going to fall apart. Above 2,300rpm, totally smooth. The single mass flywheel absorbed all of those vibrations. My 6 cylinder BMW drives way better with a SMF, this car was terrible. Hope this helps.
VW are dicks with some of their requirements - anyone who takes a job on should be discouraged by dumb shit like this. Thanks for the vid, really good to know stuff in here and fair play to taking on the job yourself.
