[Vwdiesel] Flywheel resurface

[The President]

May I be the first to welcome you back Logi... Oops it's been so long I 
forgot your name ;o)

How often do clutches out live the life of a car?
Do they wear quicker on a diesel?
Is there a cure for the dreaded shake when a diesel stops?
I should think that's one of the few benefits from a transverse setup.
Regards
Mark
