Anyone know the part number for these?
I need to check the correct parts.

Ive spoke to GFS and Euro car parts, neither are able to find the part listed for my engine (AVY)
Hes found one for the older GTI but it states 'Not for 1.6 16v'

The dealer are quoting me a trade price of Â£144.63 + vat, but Euro car parts want only Â£64 plus VAT trade.

You are a star!

Many thanks, I owe you a large one.

ok
Bit of confusion.

Both GFS and Euro car parts used to list one for the Polo GTI as a 210mm clutch.

This has been superseeded by Sachs, and now only lists one at 200mm stating 'Not for 1.6 16v'

I have spoken to Sachs who confermed this, but has said that this is the correct sachs part number for the Polo GTI Clutch kit.

3000581001

GFS Â£76.50 + VAT (Trade price)
Euro Car parts Â£64.24 + VAT (Trade Price)

Also to note, the release bearing/imput shaft housing bracket is rearlly poor.
If your changing the clutch its worth replacing this also.

Part number of the bracket: 085141181
Cost Â£2.37 + VAT (Trade price)

What a carry on!

Tigz: I'm really interested in what information you can find out. Mine is also an AVY engine and when i popped into my local Eurocar parts, they also said they were unable to get hold of any sort of clutch for my car! Be it Sach, Luk or Valeo.

Think my release bearing is knackered so am looking to replace in the very near future!

Cheers

I'v actually been looking at the black diamond cluch kits cost a fair bit more but have heard very good things about them.

Anyone else know anything about them?

Tigz, can this kit be used on the Lupo GTI six speed box do you know?

Tigz · Post by **Tigz** » Wed Apr 11, 2007 10:41 pm

Its a different clutch I think mike.
I'll post the phone number for Sachs in the morning for you mate.

M@Turner I work in the transport maintainance industry, its not who you know but what you can find out

J-GTi imo OE spec Clutchs are more than up to the job for a none tuned engine.
Myself, I dont see the point in spending more than you have to.

Fingers crossed it can be in before Pod!

I bought a sachs clutch kit from euro car parts about 7 months ago and it cost me Â£98 including postage which was Â£10, so the actual clutch kit was Â£88, and that was for a Polo GTI AVY engine code aswell

although its not the same engine, i too had trouble finding the clutch kit for my car too.. ended up getting it from these lot (they were the cheapest too!), and having another look they stock one for 1.6 16v, it's not the one your after is it?

So it would be different even though the engine code is the same AVY?

GSF stock one for the Lupo GTI 1.6 16V AVY for Â£115 (code R-3000859801)

Tigz · Post by **Tigz** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 12:20 pm

Sorry, I forgot the Lupo shared the later AVY engine!
The bell housing is different, so I dont know if it uses the same clutch.
I would suspect is does, but I do not know.
May be an idea to call VW and ask them to check if its the same clutch.
My reg is X686 PWL, if you give them that and your own reg they'll be able to tell you
