DMF replacement

[J-Amuro]

Hey friends,

I am going to be replacing my DMF and clutch pack soon as my DMF has started to rattle.
My question is what else should I replace while I am in the transmission area?
I was planning on DMF, Clutch pack, Rear main, and DSG fluid. is there anything else I should do while I'm in there?

Thanks ya'll

If opening / rebuilding a transmission, I think you need around 8L of fluid. A drain and refill is around 5. Other than that, you named it.

Pilot bearing

Oh thank you!

Pilot bearing should be included with the clutch kit. Check with your vendor to confirm.

I don’t see it on the website in the pictures of the “DSG clutch Repair kit” it’s got the clutch “cover”, clutch pack, and a whole lot of what look snap rings?

The pilot bearing usually comes with the DMF, some people ignore to change it.

I would rent the VW pilot bearing tool to remove it

Where would I rent one of those? I have access to Snapon and Mac tools and Cornwell as well so I could buy the right tool if needed. But renting would be better haha.

Just looked at my DMF I’m going to order, it does come with the bearing.

Yeah - sorry. My bad on the terminology - I was thinking manual transmission. And the DMF usually gets replaced along with a new clutch, the whole package of which will include the small bits such as pilot bearing.

If what the repair manual calls for my passat, I believe it would be the same for other calls.

Holy mackeral, $225 for that little puller ? Has anyone used this VAS251605 Kukko 21/2 ?

You could try the old bread/grease trick to get the pilot bearing out.

I tried that, that little sucker didn't budge at all. I rented an Autozone puller kit and had to remove one of the hook and wedge another tool to remove my pilot bearing.
