OT polo clutch change
tegwin - 20/3/07 at 04:49 PM

Im going to do a clutch change on my 1996 1.6 polo this saterday... (its on 110,000 miles)

Im also going to do all other major service stuff...cam-belt, fanbelt, oil etc

But my question is...whilst the gearbox is out of the car are there any other parts I should be replacing at the same time? (clutch release bearing etc?)

Im going to do all the engine mountings as a matter of course, but is there anything else I should consider?

Anyone done a clutch on a polo? are there any complications not mentioned in the haynes manual?

Chears.

Dont know about changing a VW clutch, but if your are doing the cam belt, I'd change the cam belt tensioner too. It seazed on our lupo and the belt jumped and valves met pistons.
