If you can get this done for £100-150 that is cheap.... A good quality clutch is around £80-100.. I would say more like £200-250  (thats what i paid a couple of years ago on my old gti). and it can be wise to replace the cable as the self adjusters are useless after a few years

I paid £100 labour to have a replacement gearbox, clutch and clutch cable fitted to my brother's mk3 a few months ago.  Normal going rate around here is about £75 labour for a clutch.

my brother is a mechanic and hence why my price might be cheaper than a run of the mill garage
