[Vwdiesel] Re: [Audi-VW-Diesels] New clutch slipping like mad

[Mark Shepherd]

I think the only reason to be pushed into buying the whole clutch assembly
( or now rarely the plate on its own at 90% of the cost of the entire
assembly) Is in most instance to rip you off AND to disguise the decreased
thickness of the fibre and hence reduced longevity...IMO...
