hi guys need some information my clutch has just started to make a squealing and just wondering how hard it is to do it yourself and do I have to remove the engine as most of the garages are closed. it is a 2008 hatchback 2.0R g3, gh7 variant and please could you recommend a clutch as have been looking on line and don't know what one to get . any advice very appreciated cheers.

I'm not up to spec on hatch na but they possibly run a push operation clutch and a standard replacement would probably be fine .

I tend to drop the box when doing clutches on gc8's,  just a case of removing exhaust ,both front driveshafts and undoing the prop at the different end . 

That way you only need to get the car up high enough on 4 axle stands to remove the box from under the car and no need for a engine hoist ,coolant refill ect .

As for is it easy , that depends upon how rusted up everything is ,tools you have to hand and mechanical experience tbh .

As Savage describes you dont need to pull the engine but will need to drop the gearbox, easy then to get full access to the bolts etc. Give Luke at ICP a call and he will put you right with a clutch and associated alignment tool - factor in a few quid for a release bearing as well £20 I think off top of head

thanks guys will give it a try  cheers for the tips.
