Sadly not

If you want to upgrade you either get a single mass flywheel and suitable clutch and some extra strong denture glue or you bite the bullet and get a Sachs Organic clutch which is good enough for around 400lbs ft torque

It isn't cheap.  I think the clutch kit alone is now well north of £550!!  :cry: :cry:

Personally, if you're not remapping your engine to a ridiculous amount f power and torque you're better off getting the same replacement parts. Whilst tackling the clutch you may as well replace the flywheel too as there's no point dismantling the clutch/flywheel assembly again when the flywheel does fobber up.

Whatever you do, don't get the single mass flywheel! You'll regret it on a TDI. Period!
