To replace the clutch cylinder on the Volkswagen Golf, open the bonnet to access the rear of the engine compartment: here you will find the bolts securing the clutch pedal to its housing, along with all the necessary connectors that must be disconnected.

Once these fastening elements are removed, you can take out the pedal from inside the cabin and detach the clutch cylinder from the mechanism.

This will allow you to insert the new cylinder, securing the corresponding pedal.
