How to Replace the Clutch Pump of the Volkswagen Golf VII

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Pump

If you notice any oil droplets on the mat of your Volkswagen Golf VII or if the clutch pedal feels a bit "slack", as our YouTuber says, it means the clutch pump needs replacing because the cylinder is plastic and deteriorates easily. You need to remove the pedal assembly from inside the cabin. You will require the original pump (available online for about £80.00), and you should also replace the O-rings and plastic bushes shown in the video, as they may leak in the future if not replaced. The system will then need to be bled to restore it to perfect condition.
