Re: In Need of a new clutch
Yep, get a SACHS clutch kit, GSF can get hold of them for around £86. They don't stock them but can order straight from SACHS.
Part number - 3000 581 001
VW will charge you double that for a factory reconned clutch. Which although is decent enough, it's twice the price, you need to exchange your old one, and the SACHS is smoother
Don't let a garage source you one, as they're likely to pick up a bunk cheap kit which will be just as bad as your current one. Just speaking from my own experiences.

Re: In Need of a new clutch
LUK are classed as OEM replacements, very decent kits as far as I'm aware. I wouldn't bother returning it though unless the price margin is considerably different, i.e much more than £86NFS wrote:Ive just bought a a LUK clutch from GSF, are they any good?
