Firstly, let me just state that there might/will be slight differences between the VW/Skoda/Audi/Seat range of these engines (in regard to the clutch master cylinder, etc). But, this guide will certainly help in learning the process on how to change a clutch and/or flywheel.
 

Excellent work from a guy who does this daily.... And, on his back for that matter. I'm certainly addicted to his channel.

Please refer to your HAYNES manual for exact torque settings and procedures. Or, see our topics on specs.

 

 

Mesmerising, I had already watched another one of his on a 1.6 TDi Octavia I think which gave me the confidence to tackle the clutch/DMF on my 6 speed 4x4 gearbox.

 

It was also after watching him that I invested in a 1/2" drive Bosch cordless impact wrench although unfortunately it did not arrive in time for the clutch job.

 

I used to be as confident and as competent as him removing FWD and RWD gearboxes on my back, the workshop attached to the house I have just bought will have a 2 post vehicle lift, I think that I have earned it.

 

I borrowed a friends workshop with a pit to do my clutch and asked an equally competent (in his day) friend to be my wing man for the job, poor eyesight and general aged incompetence meant I valued the help and looking over my shoulder.

Similar thing to me. I purchased extra's to tackle my gearbox.
