Wont start after clutch replacment
 

Hey hey guys!

So I just replaced the; clutch pad, pressure plate, T/O bearing and clutch lever (was broke). I was able to " set my purse down and lift" the tranny back in place. Everything is back in place but now she wont start! The MIL light kicks on as well as the EPC light which they were never on. When I turn the key, NOTHING. any ideas ?

Well if it ran before you replaced the clutch then its something you've disconnected and not reconnected or a bad connection, check all connections and pipes.

Ideally you could do with finding someone with VAG-COM\VCDS to do an Autoscan to see what error codes come back.

That's heard. Got ma Specs down there for ya.

I had to create a nice ground with some Bolts I had left over :D Then give her a quick jump start and RAWWWWRRRR. (Airbox was off)

But yeahhhh. I feel like a Rocket Scientist!

Thanks for the help.

I'm glad you got it sorted, its the simple things that catch you out.

How should I go about adjusting the clutch?
My clutch will slip when ever I give her power. It's not good :o

There is no clutch adjustment as I would have thought its hydraulic unless yours has a cable which I've only heard of one on here. If it is cable then there must be an adjuter on it somewhere.

Yeah it's hydraulic. I wouldn't Have to bleed it? I didn't think i would have to but my brakes felt a little weird after and the clutch would when accelerating. I just checked it out and it appears some fluid leaked from the cylineder onto the tranny. Possible there's fluid on the clutch disk now? And the cylinder is bad?
