We are an independent VAG garage in St Helens which means we ensure you have quality fitted parts and workmanship every time.

Why we don't fit remanufactured clutches to your Volkswagen - Some garages will fit re-manufactured clutches into your Volkswagen which are of poor quality and wear quickly resulting in your clutch failing again. These are not the qualities you would want to see in your vehicle. these are prone to failure as the quality of the clutch itself and other needed components to make your clutch engage and disengage successfully such as the pressure plate and thrust bearing are of low quality also. this means failure is imminent. Changing a clutch is a very labour-orientated job that involves a substantial amount of man-hours. On this type of repair it can take up to a full day of labour depending on the type of vehicle, The FastFit Centre advice is that you should only fit an O.E specification clutch or clutch kit to your vehicle. It may at first seem more expensive but remember " You get what you pay for". The life expectancy of re-manufactured clutches is dramatically less than that of O.E specification Clutches meaning all the man-hours that were put in fitting the lesser quality clutch would need to be repeated and therefore a much more expensive repair in the long run and also more downtime with clutch failure. This is why The Service Centre only fit genuine O.E specification clutches and clutch parts.

We can collect your Volkswagen with our in-house recovery truck making it a much less stress-free experience if your clutch has failed, just another reason why you should choose The FastFit Centre for your VW clutch replacement and clutch repair needs in St Helens.

There are several issues that could make your clutch fail. If you feel of hear any of the following issues contact The FastFit Centre today.

Difficulty to engage a gear - You will find it hard to get your vehicle into gear. This can be down to a number of things within the bell housing that has gone wrong and failed.

A constant crunching noise when engaging the gear - Very much like having difficulty engaging gear the issue is most commonly down to the clutch pressure plate but could also be release bearing of concentric slave cylinder if your vehicle has one fitted.

Inability to engage the gear at all - This could be down to a number of items and major damage could have been caused by the flywheel, Dual mass flywheel, or surrounding clutch plates

A constant juddering when pulling away from a stationary position - This most commonly is the pressure plate, this can be caused by a warped pressure plate or clutch plate that is falling apart

The engine revs increases when the throttle pedal is depressed, but speed does not increase as normal - This is what is commonly called 'A slipping clutch' imagine a bald tyre..that is the same as a clutch acting in this manner. the friction plate on the clutch will have worn down to the point it cannot grip under load anymore

Pronounced constant burning smell when under throttle - This would be your friction plate. What we most commonly find when we get this issue in is another component such as a slave cylinder or thrust bearing has failed and is not releasing the clutch fully. this then causes damage to the friction plate and can overheat the pressure plate and warp it.

What gets changed? Depending on the repair you need to your Volkswagen Clutch we change components

• The pressure plate

• Centre plate

• Release bearing

• Dual mass flywheel

• Flywheel

We've even got some tips to prolong the life of your Volkswagen clutch

Whilst driving your vehicle don't rest your foot on the clutch pedal - This will wear your clutch and cause friction

Never leave the car in gear with your foot on the clutch while stationary - This can cause wear on slave cylinders and thrust bearings

Limit the times that you hold the car on a hill by slipping the clutch - This causes strain and wears on your friction plate
