i've ordered the clutch. does the release bearing come seperatly?

Depends if you ordered the 3 in 1 kit or not   :smiley:

The VR6 bearing is the same as the 1.8T standard one BTW  :wink:

i ordered the one from the website Wazzer posted

anyone know the torque settings for the flywheel bolts?
Also.... is it a hard job dropping the gearbox? i have all the tools but no ramps. would it be ok on axle stands  or too hard?

just an update, the g60 flywheel is now like £130 with the VAT and a surcharge of £30 if you trade your old one in.

would it be ok to use a flywheel from a VW breakers yard?  he wants £30 and said its perfectly fine.  is there much to go wrong with them

hi

sorry to open this thread again, but is this set up good for 275bhp 20psi car?

my ebay clutch poped today it seem like, as ive got no drive what so ever...think it couldnt cope with the load, and want a good set up.

Bolf Gti 20vt Beast - 22Psi of boost all the way.
