I am told it is easy to replace the clutch cable on my 89 Volkswagen Fox, however I have no mechanical skills. I I had diections I am willing to learn.
Changing a VW Polo clutch cable requires exposing both ends of the cable. An open ended wrench will be needed to loosed the existing cable. After replacing the cable, be sure to bleed the line to prevent failure.
No.
To change the clutch cable on a 1998 VW Polo, first, secure the vehicle and lift it if necessary. Begin by disconnecting the battery and then remove the old clutch cable from the pedal assembly inside the car and from the clutch release mechanism on the transmission. Install the new cable by threading it through the same pathways, ensuring it is properly adjusted and secured at both ends. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the clutch operation before lowering the vehicle.
i think it may be able to change like with a new flywheel The clutch cable is self adjusting ,do not try to adjust!!!
It is tricky to change the clutch cable. There is a clip that holds it on the clutch pedal and it hooks over the clutch arm down by the bellhousing on the other end. The clutch arm is fairly easy to access and remove the cable from the engine compartment. The clutch pedal end took a little while. I had to undo the fuse box and let it hang to acces the pedal arm. The cable hooks on this end also, but has a little clip that holds it on the arm. Once the cable is unfastened from the arm, you can pull it out through the firewall. Installation went better than removal for me, a little adjusting after its in and youre all set! Good luck!
To be honest it's a long process and most of the time requires you to take out the car engine. Not for amateurs!
BAD CLUTCH
You don't it doesnt have a cable it's all hydraulic cylinders
The cable is self-adjusting meaning it is always correcting itself .you never have to touch it. Cool huh!
To adjust the clutch on a VW Transporter, first, locate the clutch cable adjuster, usually found near the pedal assembly. Ensure the vehicle is in neutral and then pull the clutch pedal up slightly to take tension off the cable. Adjust the tension using the adjuster until there is about 1-2 mm of free play at the top of the pedal travel. Finally, check the operation of the clutch by pressing the pedal and ensuring it disengages smoothly.
Yes, you can adjust the clutch on a VW Polo from the S registration, but the process depends on the specific transmission type. If it's equipped with a cable-operated clutch, you can adjust the clutch cable tension at the adjustment point near the pedal or at the clutch fork. However, if it has a hydraulic clutch system, adjustment is typically not possible, and you might need to check for other issues like fluid levels or master/slave cylinder function. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.
Remove the left rear wheel. The clutch cable runs along the left side of the transmission to a lever near the top of the bell housing, close to the engine/trans connection. There is a wing nut that adjusts the cable at that lever.
