Changing Clutch on MK3 Golf TDI

[robert1z]

Hi!
My clutch is slipping on my golf.It has done 170k on the original so I can't grumble.:D
I want to change it myself but my experience of mechanics is based around renaults.

Can anyone give me any idea how much of a job it is? Any tips or how long it may take?!

Any help appreciated

Really depends on what facilities you have to hand & how mechanically competent you are.
I changed a MK2 Gti Clutch on my own, took me all day, but i had the use of a pit and made a special rig to hold my engine up and a mandrel to hold the clutch plate central, prior to starting the job .
