Only two would consider would be Sachs or Luk. When I had my lightened flywheel done I had a Sachs clutch fitted

I have found this on eBay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SACHS-CLUTCH-KIT-3000-332-001-SEAT-CORDOBA-6K-IBIZA-MK-2-II-3-III-96-02-/380840877451?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Plat_Gen%3AMK+III|Model%3AGolf&hash=item58abe29d8b#vi-ilComp

IIRC carparts4less was considerably cheaper than that when i last checked.

Seems they are out of stock i was on a budget that day i came up. As i am moving away i wont have any use of ramps any more so all the harder work is being done next month.

Looks like a eBay job for a clutch.
Only around £10 more expensive.

Also worth comparing VR6 kits with the 16v / TDI kits as sometimes they actually come up cheaper for some odd reason.
