Sounds like a Chinese version of Vagisil, whatever that is

do the vag g60 flywheel / gsf luk vr6 clutch kit

well documented on here - total parts cost under £200

[Guest westallc]

+1 on the above g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch great combo and an upgrade for around £200

yeah i saw bodge's write up on here which was very helpful. read on a golf forum though that shorter bolts wre needed as well can anyone confirm this? also is there an online supplier of those parts as in channel islands based sourcing these things is a bit of a ****ter

[Guest westallc]

buddy bolts are the same if you want me to get the bits and post them over let me know

[STSKODA]

buddy bolts ?

clive if you could do that i couldnt thank you enough. i will firstly check with skoda to see if they can give me a price as a friend of mine is a tech there, but ill drop you a pm in the next 24 hours to let you know legend

CRAP!!!

haha just been reading some feedback on techniclutch. surprised they are still in business!!

right gsf will deliver to me in the channel islands but she said that they can only supply the clutch @77.50

does that mean the only place to source the flywheel is dealer? they quoted me 106.70 with a £30 surcharge? is this about right?

ok so this is all getting fitted by my dealer next thursday now - cant wait. only thing is i am sourcing the clutch myself from gsf. is this just the clutch itself or a kit? if a kit then what does it include? the skoda tech said it would be worth changing pressure plate and bearing at the same time?

the vr6 luk kit will come with cover / plate and bearing

order the G60 flywheel from Vw dealer along with the bolts

stright replacement and worth EVERY penny!!!

are the bolts def needed or can the standard bolts be used??

[STSKODA]

for the minute cost in comparison to pulling it all out again if anything goes wrong, i'd just order the new bolts !

Never ever use Techniclutch. I did for my 200sx and i had to change it within 2 months.
