I broke a clutch just like in the video because you didn't use a degreasing system, adjust the pressure plate. HOW YOU MOUNTED IS WRONG, I DID AS YOU WERE AND I BROKE NEW CLUTCH IT ONLY WORKED FOR 20,000 KM, NOW I NEED A NEW ONE

Absolutely top work sir. Well impressive, you voice over is calm, methodical and contextual. Keep being you when you're chatting away, it's re-assuring to a viewer what you're explaining and why. Maybe a little division into chapters would help those of us not as brave as yourself so we can divide and conquer into weather dependent chunks with the parts / tools / and time you needed / faced during your efforts. There's plenty of us enjoying your thought process ;-)

Unbelievable work. Credit to you for doing all that work on your driveway.

Great job! Little tip...Mark each nut/bolt with a bit of tipex when you’ve torqued them up so can easily spot any you may have missed.

'Getriebe' means gearbox in German language, so getriebeseite is: gearbox side. ( thanks from a Dutch viewer for another great video!)

I was about to comment the same thing, it's written on the clutch disk itself just in a different language.

@@sidthescenic09 yes it is right, getriebeseite=gearbox side. greatings from germany. ;-)

Top tip...use the old seal the opposite way to help drive the new seal in.

James you tease. What a star. All that work on your drive and giving us a lot of information as well, unlike other KZreadrs who cut and skip to end and show nothing. Keep going. Don't stop. Stay safe.

Best think about his channel is that it for everyone , not your high end cars people having 600hp cars , it normal day to day cars repairs and content - keep up the good work james it getting better each time

What a cliffhanger!!! Superb video and channel. Took me an hour to refit my gearbox too, that was after watching another guy on KZread do it in 60 seconds.

You deserve an awful lot of credit for taking on a very big and complex job. Well done.

Massive .. I thought I was the only one to do radicicolous jobs on the drive ...but you've gone one step further and filmed each step of the way ,,brilliant I doff my cap to you ...well done .. you never failed to let others see your failings and overcome them .. catch you later ..😉

Just a tip to make the gearbox fit easier. Place a couple lengths of threaded rod into the engine gear box bolt holes and use these to slide the gearbox into position then once you’ve got a couple bolts in then replace the threaded rod with the remaining bolts. Saves a lot of aggro.

Just one tip. If you put a bit of grease on the gearbox shaft it's easier to assembly 👍

Good to see you back James 👊🏻

Part 2* loving these big job videos makes me wanna get out there and work on my project

Don’t forget put gearbox fluid in lol.

Someone’s been watching Allan do clutch’s on the taxis , this subframe alignment pins 👌🏻

What a positive channel and comments section you should be proud.

James, I could've done with that scissor lift when I changed the clutch on a 2007 VW Beetle. I ended up borrowing an engine crane form my local garage. Mating the gearbox to the engine was like docking with the ISS. Fortunately, I didn't have a subframe to contend with unlike the MK4 Golf on which the Beetle is based.

Great informative video on how to. Please please take your smart watch off when you are crawling about under the car my heart was in my mouth at least three times. Thanks For taking the time to involve us 👍

Splendid job James, even through the video I could tell it took a heck of a lot of time to get that car back together. Appreciate the content !

Great job, so much work involved glad I got the garage to do mine

Absolutely outstanding. Real life working at home on the driveway in all weathers.

Too bloody good. Such a pleasure watching do all this work from your drive way, just wow. This definitely is an involved job. Weldone mate.

Very well explained and put together. It's very satisfying doing it yourself.

Great job and great video. Amazing how relaxing it is watching someone else do all the hard work !

Brilliant job fair play. Hat off to you doing all that on your own and on the drive way. 👏 👏 👏 👏.

ALL WITHOUT A PROPER WORKSHOP, fair play to you, well done, keep up the good work

Simple way to remember in the future (If in doubt flat side out)

Great stuff James your calm teaching style is very easy to follow along with 🤞

fair play to you mate for taking that job on! well done!

Getriebeseite is gearbox site. In deutch. Also in most situation you have inscription to you not to engine

Very well done James and on your own, it looked a hefty job , you explain it so well what your doing 👍🏼

All done in the true DIY spirit. 👍

A big thumbs up to you for changing the clutch on your own in the driveway, not easy at all but a great video.

Inspiration to myself for wanting to work on my own car, save a lot of money, but gain a lot of knowledge, good on you, keep it going 👌

I'd work on my car if I had the space. Shame really.

Great videos and well done for achieving that on your drive!! Inspiring stuff mate

Really nice job. Really impressive on your own on a drive 👍

I'm doing the gearbox on a polo and I've bought that motorcycle jack/stand as it looks perfect for enough clearance to pull the gearbox out.

Top notch video, and very thought through. Must be so satisfiying doing it all yourself., very inforfative aswell.

Great job 👏

Great effort , very enjoyable

Love this guys videos!!!

Very good work, congratulations. Success in your new projects

Brilliant video James, can’t wait to see it pull away

Get soo happy seeing a new video up👍🏻

The reason why your slave cylinder failed is due to the center of the DMF has sunk in over the middel, and there for the travel for the slave cylinder was to long and there for is leaking. Great job .. Have a nice easter from Denmark

Informative and professional as ever. Class act mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent video

Great job I enjoyed this video loads of information keep up with the good work

Wow, brilliant man

I came across your channel recently and loving it, I'm working my way through your videos slowly, not a mechanic but finding them very interesting to watch. My wife's Mk4 59 plate Mondeo is overheating, any Mondeo experts on here 🤔 keep up the great videos 😁

Great video. When refilling the power steering use green green fluid.

Playback speed 0.25x @ 18:31. Yous are welcome 😉🙌

Can't wait to do this on my focus. Same engine with 300k km on the original factory clutch!

Great video well done 👍🏻

Well done 10/10.👍👍👍👍👍

Great work Mark, considering where you were doing it!

Great job James and also fabulous content as always

Great video james. Getting a gearbox in on your own on your back is one of the worst jobs iv done so far, took me 2 hours in a freezing cold cramped lock up lol when it eventually slotted in I was a happy man. Looking forward to next one dude :)

Great video

I live this chanell because you show everything how it is you are a great guy to watch and learn from Happy Easter Phil in stoke
