Re: Subframe elongated were wishbone bolts on

Re: Clutch 2.0 HDI 110

Got the clutch changed yesterday not as bad as I thought it would be, Managed to just lower one side of the sub frame to get the box out. The engine mount wasn't that bad either I cut thorough the old one with a jigsaw greased up the new one and taped it in with a big hammer.

Re: Clutch 2.0 HDI 110

I have a mate with a press so should be able to get the mount changed quite easily and I think the dmf is on its way out to so I thought if I'm going to do the clutch I might as well change that too.

Car has only done 90,000 miles but the previous own had been towing a caravan.
