Hi folks. My Octavia TDi 110 is starting to show signs of clutch slip and i'm thinking of a remap, so i'd like to get the clutch changed ahead of time.

I have not had a look in the haynes yet, but i always prefer to do my research with some real live experience too! So, does anyone know of a clutch change guide that it would be useful to read, is it DIY-able? I'm capable of 3 spanner jobs in Haynes, so i'm no expert but i'm OK! should give me something to read while i'm bored at work.

It is not that difficult a job - but you will need a helper, trolly jack, axle stands, spline keys, and approx. 4 hours min. as you have to disconnect the drive shafts.

I had to remove the drive flange on the driver's side of the gearbox to get the box off the engine...even though others say you can do it qithout removal. The drive flange is held on by an allen screw in the middle of the flange.

Also this car has a DMF and they give trouble - so you may want to change to a solid unit or replace with a new DMF rather than have to do the job again in teh future.
