VW clutch replacement: when to replace a clutch?

The clutch usually needs to be replaced after 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres. The optimal time to replace the clutch depends on many factors, such as the vehicle model, driving style, and more.

Over time, the clutch wears out, which can lead to several issues, including the following signs:

  1. Slipping: The clutch slips when it can no longer transfer sufficient power from the engine to the transmission. This can be noticeable through a burning odour, fluctuating engine speeds when accelerating or sluggish gear changes.
  2. Clutch point: The clutch point at which the clutch ‘engages’ is very high or very low.
  3. Clutch squeal: A squealing noise can be heard when the clutch pedal is depressed or released.
  4. Heavy clutch pedal travel: The clutch pedal is difficult or impossible to depress.

How long does it take to change a clutch on a VW?

In general, the procedure can take between 2 and 7 hours.

  • It takes slightly more than 2 hours for models with manual transmission and easy access to the required components.
  • More than 7 hours are required to replace the clutch on complex models with automatic transmission if there is rust or corrosion of the metal.

VW clutch replacement: do-it-yourself or do-it-for-me?

Choosing the best clutch for a VW

VW often uses clutches from LUK, the original clutch manufacturer for many VW models, in its vehicles.

Some VW models have a dual-mass flywheel which helps to dampen engine vibrations, making the ride smoother and more comfortable. If you replace the clutch on models with a dual-mass flywheel, you must ensure that the new clutch is compatible with the dual-mass flywheel.

VW has its own coding system for clutches. Knowledge of this system can help you to find the right clutch for your vehicle.

Browse through the clutch catalogue for the most common VW models:

Changing the VW clutch: What needs to be considered?

Here are examples of the special aspects of clutch replacement at VW:

  • Clutch coding: VW uses its own clutch coding system. Knowing this system can help you find the right clutch for your vehicle.
  • Genuine parts: VW recommends using only genuine parts when replacing the clutch. Genuine parts guarantee high quality and reliability.
  • Special tools: Some VW models may require special tools to replace the clutch. Make sure that you have all the necessary tools for the job to hand if you are replacing the clutch yourself.
