Anyone had any experience with a garage replacing their flywheel? 

 

I have a 2014 superb 170hp dsg. Found a Sachs flywheel online for £310 which I think is a good price, but the garage I found said they won't fit it unless I get the parts from them. Now they keep delaying me probably because I was looking to have it replaced cheaper. They quoted me £800 for a LUK flywheel including the gearbox oil and filter change. But they keep delaying me!

 

I called a few others I found online but they either can't do it or they don't have the software. I didn't know it needs software adjustment after its been fit, or at least this is what they told me.

 

Does anyone know a reliable garage that can do the job, roughly for the same price, or I can provide the flywheel.

My mate 1 mile away is an Auto Transmission Specialist & could do it no bother.

 

But that might be a long way from where you are so maybe best say where you / the car is.

I'm in London but i might be able to travel up to 2h journey. would help a lot if you recommend someone that you already used to replace your flywheel and you were happy. 

Someone will that is near to you & in the same country hopefully.

 

My friend has done all sorts for me in the way of auto's for 40 years now.

Dealerships send customers cars to him to do and that is the kind of place best to use for DSG's.  The ones with all the gear and not just ideas.

I'm not surprised, what happens if it's not the right part - it's a lot of work to pull off the gearbox etc. Are you fitting a new clutch / slave cylinder as well?

don't know what a slave cylinder is but no, just the flywheel.

 

btw, still looking for a garage😁

Sorry - didn't read correctly - yours is DSG auto so not manual clutch and hydraulic slave cylinder!
