So on New Years night my clutch blew.... and I finally get my car back on tuesday. Cost me 1,500 to fix the damn thing!! I never knew flywheels we're so expensive...

 

did u take it to the dealer? clutches are expensive to fix but not that expensive

 

A stock dual mass flywheel is about $300. Clutch is about $250 with the presure plate. $950 for labor/supplies seems a little steep. Did you go to the dealer?

 

Maybe a used stock dual mass flywheel will cost $300. Brand new they go for about $700-$800. One of the reasons people go with a LWFW because they are actualy cheaper then a OEM dual mass.


Southbend sells the 1.8t OE Dual Mass Flywheel for $722.00 You are more then welcome to look it up on their site. I am sure the dealer is going to be even higher then that.

 

ECS sells a OEM dual mass flywheel for $509. But I don't know about changing the clutch really... Do you need to replace a flywheel when you do the clutch?

 

When ever you change the clutch the flywheel either needs to be resurfaced or replaced. Really need to start with a smooth surface. It is like throwing on brand new pads on a set of really old rotors without having them turned.

 

sounds about right mate, I paid 1300 for my flywheel/clutch/labor combo.. Not at a dealer though, at the shop ive been going to for some time now.

 

I did not go to the dealer but if you look at flywheels online there all around 600-900 bucks! it's crazy,

 

Yeah for OEM flywheels. Good LWFW's are around $400-$500, well thats what I sell them for with free ground shipping.
