difficult bits are getting the gearbox off and putting it back on. you'll need 2 jacks, maybe a friend, a lot of pactience/alcoholic drinks (delete one).

never done a polo clutch before. did a passat one last week and that was a total mare! Golf ones are easier.

you go off me? never.  :kiss:

how-to change a clutch?

I just gave you the how to lol. a very cut down version... :D

it's easy. just remove the gearbox and you'll see the clutch there. replace it and refit the gearbox and then reattach all the bits you took off it like clutch cable and gear linkages.

also the engine may drop due to some of the engine mounts being on the gearbox so you might want to support that with a jack. :)

I've never worked on a polo, but I'll take a stab in the dark and say M8 like a mk2 golf...

not sure why it's cutting out sorry...
