Dual Clutch Rebuilt or Replace Clutch Assembly

[ixeo]

Just chat with my mech, he did clutch replacement on Ford Fiesta and VW GTi. Can do it for you, provided you buy the parts.

There's this saying among the VW guys, if you don't thrash your DCT once in awhile then you are not taking care of it. Just like the ol reliable way of cleaning up carbon deposits, the Italian Tune up.

Very familiar quote, my friend having a jetta, tracks it often till now no issue with the gb. Bro. Izso drove that car before....lol

There's this workshop at TTDI, KL area that deals only Volvo but I'm not quite sure if they do anything related with the powershift. However, there's this workshop that deals with Ford Powershift and is pretty popular among the Ford guys called Bengkel Excellent Auto. You may want to give them a ring to ask bout the Volvo's powershift. I believe its similar with the Ford Focus 2.0TDCI and Ford Mondeo Ecoboost Powershift.

Hi,

I contacted this Bengkel Excellent Auto before, one minute their FB reply said can do and the other minute reply said only service Ford vehicles. So am not sure which is which.

Thanks,
Ken

Now i ran into an new issue, oil seepage detected near oil pan, bell housing area. Dismantle the oil pan to repair the leak as there's bubble foaming out from the oil pan, with some good gasket gum, we stopped majority of the leak. Mechanic said most likely is the rear main seal is leaking but what we found out the flywheel is dry and clean with no visible oil leakage. Where could the leak coming from if its not the rear main seal? I don't want the mechanic to dismantle my gearbox just to look for small seep.

Thanks,
Ken

Yup. I like him cause he just charge workmanship. You get your own parts so you know exactly what is going into your car.

Well risk of buying my own, WRONG parts. Perhaps if he can help in verify parts then i will dare to do so. There are so many suppliers with lots of prices in the market.

Where is he located btw ?

Thanks,

Exactly. Many times I wait at my mechanics place for repairs. When they order parts, the parts gets delivered, but some parts got small slight variants and cannot fit, then he calls and return to get the right parts. Imagine if we buy, gone case cannot return. I only buy parts that I know, that is why sometimes I keep track of the parts used then in future I know the right parts.....lol

Eh...people like u must be well known at your regular spare part shop right?
Can change within period which is usually 2-3 days.

Which is why i will plan repair and buy the parts as late as possible. Got times exceed the 2 days but for small cheap parts so i just open the store door and throw it in the misc parts box.

Guys i found the issue, its seeping out from the rear main seal, rather than leak. The car porch of mine is still clean and i am gonna ignore this issue until i see oil stain.
