they said becase its only just started to slip and its not that badly worn they wont replace for free.

so i convinced them to fit a new clutch for free and realse bearing and i pay for parts which totalled 250 i said i can get cheaper for same parts and i was not happy.

guy came back with 140 all in fully fitted bargain

think thats pretty good dont you

not a bad result at all :afro:

Get them to check the condition of the flywheel though as its only a few bolts holding that in

dual mass flywheels are one of the worst inventions after the MAF

When VW first started using them there were no end of early failures  :sad:

They are designed to reduce cabin noise and vibration which they do very well up until the point they start breaking apart and become noisey and rattly  :laugh: :laugh:

could be a number of things but its most likely one of them

other things include engine mounts, suspension bushes etc etc
