Walesy 0 Posted January 27, 2006 and the other was from a mate whoworks in the industry Well, by that I assume you mean that he's getting you good discount..so it might be worthwhile, as long as you can varify where the clutch is from etc....? Is it a VAG clutch, for trade price? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvw 0 Posted January 27, 2006 cheers walesy but do you know what a KIT consists of ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted January 27, 2006 I've a feeling the clutches GSF and euro car parts sell are cheaper than the VAG ones by a long way (isnt everything?) but they're a false economy since they're not as smooth as the genuine ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 27, 2006 VAG kits are superior to aftermarket ones, even if made by the same people (i.e. Sachs and LUK). You need to see the two side by side to see what I mean. Kit consists of a pressure plate, a friction plate and a release bearing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
