octavia clutch/DMF change prices and options

hey everyone,

just had major work done to my octy, the first clutch and DMF change also the hydralic release bearing, had to phone a lot of places and lots of quotes on prices and types, just thot i'll put my experience down for anyhone who might need the info.

- my 2006 TDI PD octy was using a SACHS clutch/DMF unit by default, skoda will recommend to always check before ordering one.

- according to skoda two brands are prominent in the market either SACHS or LUK but and i quote skoda " SACHS IS MORE EXPENSIVE AND BETTER".

- after calling a lot of parts providers the prices usually for the whole kit (SACHS) stayed very close or beyond £600.

- EURO PARTS gave me the best deal, SACHS clutch and DMF plus and LUK release bearing all for £476 including VAT, upto £150 cheaper then any other place.

the clutch/DMF is now working perfectly, i hope this info helps anyhow who is about to be faced with clutch/DMF change in an octy.

thanks
