Neither GSF or Eurocarparts can supply me with any kind of clutch kit for my car, it lists a part number but then says its been superseeded and is NOT suitable for the ARC engine

has anyone bought a sachs/valeo/LUK kit recently? whats the deal?

My mechanic was able to get me a Valeo one quite easily.

Yeh my mechanic had problems sourcing one.

Found one eventually but I didnt ask where and couldnt remember what kit it was

Would this help http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... hp?t=29613

I also had a local Sachs dealer in Hong Kong who confirmed Sachs part no 3000 581 001 for my 2001 Polo 1.6 16V GTI with ARC engine. They had to order from Germany @ ~GBP 100.

Nah the part number in that thread is incorrect. I tried the other link on there too

well ive just managed to order a sachs one from eurocarparts, this time they decided they do actually have what i want. just have to see if its ok now

Oh really, do u mean Sachs part no 3000 581 001 is incorrect?

I check it online here http://webcat.zf-trading.com/index.asp?SPR=4 which also shows this part no for ARC/AVY engine, and I'm not looking for the performance one

Cheers.

I bought my LUK one from someone else so don't know where he got it from

I think so, read what Tigz says on the next page of that thread........

The clutch listed previously does not fit!
The three locating holes on the pressure plate do not line up with the engine locating lugs.

Awaiting a call back from Sachs!

God knows, eurocarparts have sent me part no. 641440620 (sachs part number 3000.581.001) and the invoice says "not for polo GT"

Got my mechanic to ring them and they cross referenced the parts in the kit to genuine VW parts and confirmed it contains the right ones for the gti. Guess i'll just have to wait and see if it fits

Mine has a click in it now when the engine warms up

I'm not happy, gunan take it back to the garage and see what they say.
