Should have added feels like more play when changing gear now

Gearchange
For a start the clutch has done 150k and recently stalled on me a few times. so that's being changed out soon plus a new DMF. The actual gear change could be better. Used to renew bushes on VWs back in the day

Gearchange
Are there any known high mileage gear linkage bushes that wear out ?
-
Clutch
Spoke to the mechanic, he changes out the DMF as matter of course, so good news
-
Clutch
Due to the miles ( 146k ) I’ve booked it in for a new clutch as I want to keep the car for a while
-
Voltage
I think mines putting out 14 volts + now
-
DMF
Is there an expected lifespan (mileage) for the Dual mass flywheels. I realise highly dependant on useage. Does it pay to change them out if doing a clutch change.
-
Bush
Okay cheers will get mechanic check it out
-
Bush
Cheers my clutch just doesn’t feel right. At 145k could be clutch wear/ gearbox bush mount wear/ flywheel issue
-
Bush
I'm only guessing but if a main lower engine / gearbox bush, is fitted, are they known for high mileage wear ?
-
Voltage
I was still quite pleased with the performance of my VRs diesel. I’ve recently had some ABS sensor work done and at the same time my mechanic flagged up a faulty Alternator only putting out 12v etc. Since replacing it im getting full voltage to the engine management system which has noticeably improved engine performance. Maybe the mapping was out ?
-
Clutch
Ive noticed recently my VRs has stalled pulling away. Apart from poor clutch control the actual clutch (@145k) is showing signs of age/wear. Although it’s not slipping at the moment could this cause stalling ?
-
Clutch
What is the average cost of a new clutch these days ?
-
Warning lights
Had exactly same issue. Two rear ABS sensors faulty. Both replaced. Also faulty alternator replaced although not sure if connected.
-
Rear wiper
Ive replaced two on mine now. Don’t seem to last very long
-
Dash lights
Finally sorted. Two new ABS sensors plus a new alternator to. Probably the first real bill I’ve had apart from normal servicing at 145k so can’t complain
-
Dash lights
Got the mechanics feedback today. Although two ABS ( speed) sensors showing faulty the issue might be with u/s alternator putting out only 12v. Oh well another bill due ?
-
Dash lights
Okay cheers I’ll mention it to the mechanic
-
Dash lights
Seen a previous post saying could be a speed sensor fault. Have got mechanic with fault code reader booked
-
Dash lights
My dash warning lights have recently kept staying on once engine is running. They will sometimes reset with a fresh engine start. What should I be looking at ?
-
Key
Ouch ! Just seen the cost that will teach me to be more careful in future
-
Key
Ive managed to lose one of my key fobs. How do you go about replacement ?
-
Idle
My VRs diesel engine started to idle rough from a cold start. It soon cleared on driving. This is the first time I’ve noticed it ?
-
Injectors
Um they are expensive, are new / recon ones the same spec as original ones
-
Injectors
My 2010 VRs diesel is still running strong @ 145k miles. My question is is there an average service life for the injectors. Similarly I once changed out a set in a Ford diesel engine and the difference was quite noticeable
