Title: MK1 1600 clutch into 1800
Post by: SoundillusioN on 21 August 2010, 15:58

Since there are clutch questions on at the mo, is a 1980 mk1 1600 clutch and flywheel the as fitted to a 1983 mk1 1800?? I assume yes?

ah well, my clutch feels fine after doing nowt for all these years but saw a brand new 1600 clutch for a tenner so thought it would be good to put in the spares box for when the time comes.

1.6 GTI clutch is 200mm, 1.8 GTI clutch is 210mm. either will fit but you need to get the right flywheel to match
