    Nice one mate, i didnt have that much luck with flywheel bolts. On my passat all twisted, had to cut the middle out with angle grinder… thats what happens when you drive with a knackered flywheel for years… it wasn’t fun and i hate working with the grinder

    I've done this a few times with the duel mass . I changed it with a solid flywheel on a few transit trucks and a diesel x type and never had a problem. Only cost £230 for all the parts. At the end of the day there old and coming to the end of their working life .

    I've worked on Vans my whole life you took way too much off to do the gearbox.. Disconnect prop shop from gearbox slide it to one side remove exhaust back box and exhaust shield remove rear two subframe bolts and loosen the front two gives you enough room.

    That’s great man. This is what I normally do too. Different variations in these vans though. I’m 1000000% sure that I would not have been able to move the gearbox if I don’t remove the tank. It was literally in the way. I know that the 2007-2009 version had smaller tank and is a little bit further back. This one wasn’t, unfortunately 😂 But that’s great man, thank you for the comment. I’m sure you’re only trying to help 🫡

    Couple of tips for the next. Get the front on ramps Take the rear sub frame bolts out but leave the fronts on a few threads. It leaves enough space to just get the box out, although I leave it resting on the sub frame and put the back on a stand or on the floor Leave the tank on Also leave the prop on at the diff And bleeding the clutch, attach a pipe to front left calliper and then to clutch and open both and slowly press brakes, it works a treat And if you ever do one on your own, balance it on a jack and get a ratchet strap to pull it all forward whilst guiding it with your other hand

    So, I don’t see where u lost £1500? First the subframe doesn’t need to be dropped so far and the diesel tank for need to come out. This job can be done in 2 hours max, yes on the floor. How Much did u actually charge for this?
