my rs had both items changed under warranty about 6 weeks ago mine had done 40k

How much !!!!!

DMF can go for sure, however Sara at Awsome GTI was selling a single flywheel conversion and helix uprated clutch for about 500 notes.

IMHO £1500 is well over the top and it sounds like you should get a breakdown of all the parts. I head somewhere that a DMF kit comes with a new clutch included, so check this out and if it does, then don't also pay for an additional clutch kit ontop of that one.

Sorry to hear your bad news :(

Blimey 1500 buck is way over the top it should cost no more than 5-600 fitted for the dual mass flywheel type.

Go to another Garage

The dual mass flywheels was not long ago retailing at £611.00 + VAT

I myself would do a single mass flywheel conversion as this would be cheaper.

Let me know if you want me to price up a kit for you then not a problem , I would need to know about the engine on this though

Fathers focus had the DMF done, that also required a new clutch and a new master cylinder because it was full of metal shards. They could have done it without doing the clutch and master cylinder but they would have almost certainly gone shortly after. The total cost was approx £1000 at a main dealer.

I do think that £1500 is still approximately 50% too much for the work

the price of

Nope some main dealers won't charge you £1500 pound for it more like £700-1000 fitted with a new clutch. It's just that the dealer you used is having a joke.

Care to name and shame?

The garage is called Woodheads Skoda, Blackpool. the service manager Tom is the chap who quoted

As a matter of interest, when we were called by the Skoda garage about the
