I looks like it should be what your after - providing you have a 210mm fly wheel.

The only thing that's not there is the clutch release bearing - not 100% if that's necessary on a Golf though.

One thing to bear in mind thought matey - by the end of the auction /  P&P costs your almost better either getting the garage to supply the parts or going to your local motor factors. If it's the wrong part you'll have no come back at all!!

If you can stretch to it, find out how much a VW item / kit is as the difference in quality is stupid !!

the release bearing is inside the end cap of the gearbox.... replacing this means forcing the cap off which you have to replace..... and its striaght there!
but they dont replace them then replacing the clutch!
