Clutch Surprise!!!!!!

Post by kiran2811 »

Hi All,

I purchased my vehicle over a year ago and was known to the fact by the previous owner that a clutch replacement is required......So I decided to start with some work last week...I couldn't have imagined that the damage could be this worse or I've not seen worse......

That's why even if I just do a service on my beetle I take out the motor completely, :D , you'll be able to check thrust bearing, g/box seal, main seal and clutch kit plus it easier to replace the spark plugs,
