That sounds like the right one.. it's a while since I looked into clutches but if I remember correctly the early MH engines had a 180mm clutch with a different centre bore size, and then the clutch was increased to 190mm for the later models.. something like that anyway. Hopefully someone else will confirm that though..

190mm is the right size for an MH engine. Ahh borg n beck, that takes me back. My first polo had just had a new borg n beck clutch when I bought it. seemed to do the job quite nicely.

god knows what it is....the box says borg n beck , but the friction plate has luk on it

Box code 8P or CEG are suitable for the MH engine. GSF sell Luk clutches but It might be worth checking wether or not theyre the same company.

the plate will be fine... as they are all thwe same.... the only difference is the thrust bearing.....
