Devildub_06 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 German Swedish and French http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ do a LUK clutch kit for £76.50, reasonable for a 3 piece clutch kit, but i'm sure they'd do a SACHS sporting clutch if you ask. Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Luk are crap. Go with Sachs or genuine vw. Link to post Share on other sites
Devildub_06 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Oh, have you had experience of these then? Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yes, had a luk clutch and it constantly juddered and vr6pete had one which melted. Luk are definitely not as good as Sachs.The genuine vw clutch is Sachs too. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 mightyvr6, actually, the one that melted was a Sachs. I think it was just a 1 off, as the one in before that was fine, and the one i have in now is all good too.Pete Link to post Share on other sites
