Dare I say a SMF (single mass flywheel) is almost unbearable. There is a huge difference in diesels with the fly wheels.

Standard uprated replacement clutch - http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/sachs-dual-mass-flywheel-and-darkside-clutch-kit-for-vw-02m-6-speed-1-9-tdi.html

Some good reading involved with the SILENT SMF kits. Very expensive but the dog bollocks. - http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/p/449891/3139675.aspx

I replaced my broken DMF with a SMF on my 110AHF mk4 and it was very noticeable. Especially when reversing off the drive the car had big vibrations.

After I fitted a polybush to the dogbone mount it was even more so.

So glad when I sold that car and went back to DMF on the 150PD

Providing the map is smooth and progressive the standard replacement kit will be fine

Upgrade if you plan on wanting more power
