What does a Volkswagen clutch do? And what is a clutch kit?

The clutch is a component that engages drive on your VW. It takes power from the crankshaft (engine side) and engages and disengages the action of your gearbox to create drive in your drive shafts. The clutch is located between the engine and transmission to temporarily disconnect the engine drive from the gearbox. A clutch kit usually contains all the elements to replace and rejuvenate your clutch and its performance. usually a clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearings. However, in some cases flywheels are needed such as a dual mass fly wheel. A concentric slave cylinder may also be needed on some vehicles such as a T5 and T6 as well as Crafter. A clutch kit will contain the correct parts for a particular make and model of car and is often cheaper than buying the components individually.

How often should a clutch need replacing?

There isn’t a typical time or set mileage suggested to replace a clutch kit, it really does depend how your drive but some guide lines are approximately 60k miles, yet they can have a healthy life covering mileages anywhere between 30k and 100k. We have even repaired clutches on Volkswagen campers with only 20k miles on them.

The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT

A damaged or broken clutch on your Volkswagen camper van will affect your van’s driving ability to the point where it could fail its MOT. Testing doesn’t include an examination of the engine, clutch or gearbox, so if it appears to be working adequately, then it shouldn’t affect the test result. Getting your clutch repaired on your Volkswagen camper van will save you sitting at the roadside broken down.

What causes a clutch to stop working correctly?

A clutch on your Volkswagen camper van or motorhome will wear out over time through continual use. The disc thickness reduces, which affects the amount of force the pressure plate can apply to the clutch disc against the flywheel. Incorrect use over extended periods will impact the lifespan and cause unnecessary problems. Slippage can also be caused by reduced tension in the pressure plate’s springs.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning clutch

The clutch slips while driving - If you feel a loss or inappropriate delivery of power when using the accelerator, it could be due to a damaged or worn clutch.

Changing gears is a problem - If you can’t change gears or it feels like there is unusual grinding and friction when trying, your clutch isn’t separating the engine drive from the gearbox sufficiently.

The car doesn’t move - If there is no delivery of power to the engine from the accelerator, then your clutch could be the problem.

Your gearbox makes unusual and unhealthy noises - If the transmission makes unhealthy grinding noises when you try to use the clutch to engage or disengage the engine, there’s a strong chance that your clutch isn’t operating as it should.
