Indeed. Great time to sprinkle some upgrades on.
VAG call removing the front end the 'service position' and can be done in less than an hour if you've done it a few times :happy2:
I've done a clutch before on ramps (engine in situ) and it really, really isn't a pleasant job at all. It's easier if you drop the subframe, otherwise you end up wrestling with 75 kilos of gearbox trying to find the right angle to drop it through the (tiny) gap.

Not sure my wallet can take that :signLOL:
muff1991:
granted @Pudding , it would be a piece of cake with the front end off.. :happy2:
we have done Aka's clutches' & gearboxes'... yeah that's right 'sssss!!! he's never happy with the clutch or broken something!! :signLOL:
so yeah, we have done this job on axles a good handful of times now with front end on, you just got to find the right angle (and remove the offside driveshaft cup), including other Vags like the 1.8t etc. @absolute its not as bad as it sounds, as long as you know how to undo and put bolts back which you do, you'll be fine.. :)
I don't think this is a "hard job" at all really.. its just time consuming, that's it! like most jobs really. I would happily spend lets just say a day if you've not done it before, and save myself 100's doing it myself. even if its something ive not done before, with a bit of research and some common/basic knowledge.. you're good to go in my eyes! I will only take my car to a garage, for things like tracking, MOT, tyres, Air con.. 10 tonne presses and all the kind of stuff i cant do at home due to some machinery! I literally cannot take my car to a garage to do a job that I could do myself.. for the sake of getting off my lazy ass to go and do it lol might take me longer, but the job gets done and I get in the bath thinking.. bugger me I must of saved myself thousands and thousands over the years! until I get to an age where I physically can't or become too lazy.. I will continue to do it all myself :happy2:
if you got the tools mate.. smash it yourself! (soz if I went a bit off subject lol)
