mightyvr6 0 Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Go for a Luk clutch for about £80 from Eurocarparts and check other bits like the chains/tensioners while the box is off although being a highline, they will probably be ok. Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 i'd go for a genuine vw clutch...the one on mine has lasted 119k so far and still has absolutely loads of life left (i reckon another 50k at least!), so why risk getting a poorer one.a lot does depend on how the cars been driven...obviously previous owners of my car didn't ride the clutch or do a lot of drag starts.as the gearbox has to come out you really should do the timing chains and runners whilst there (£160 of parts from gsf), and hows your gearbox shifting? if its knackered get it sorted now. then you shoudl have many miles of motoring ahead of you.
