PD130 clutch and flywheel change questions...

[Satiro]

Hi friends, i'm here again after a lot of time... i had several personal issues and i had no time for my car and Tdiclub... I'm happy again!

I have to change clutch and flywheel of a PD130 golf from a friend...I need a little help, my car is a MK3 and has different engine mounts, and i haven't the bentley manual...
Which are the main steps for to change clutch in that car?

You have to pull all three mounts and drop the engine down and forward (drivers side) to get the transmission out. Figure 10 hours or so....It's a pain to do this job.

is it necessary to loose and pull all mounts? what a pain! in my car isn't necessary to pull all mounts... wich's the correct method for to loose that mounts?

Job is done, around 8 hours... i changed clutch and flywheel and i didn't pull the passenger side engine mount, isn't necessary...
It's a hard job but an easy job! Next week i will change clutch to a MK3 golf...thanks for your help,

Your SEAT's might have a different side wall that dosen't require the drop as far to get the transmission out.

Glad you got it out. 8 hours for the first one is pretty good!

That was the first time i changed clutch in a PD, and isn't necessary to pull the passenger side engine mount in a 01J really... method is practically the same than my Seat 'VE...
Thanks again for response me, cheers
