difference in clutches

[scott]

My car is in need of a new clutch soon and I have been comparing prices, the cheapest I have seen for a clutch kit is ebay @ £100, so I am just wondering about the quality of it. Is a clutch simply a clutch just sold by different company's or will a genuine Audi one be better (I haven't got a price on one from Audi yet) so does the quality differ or is the ebay one fine???

Thanks,

Scott

Depends on what you want out of it. For the power these engines run, OEM will not be any higher quality than an aftermarket OEM replcement part. After all, this is comparable to a brake disc. Do yo ubuy an Audi part or go for a Mintex or Ferodo instead?

For the sources, I have found some other places that make them...

(Requires car information input to get at the clutch choices available)
http://webcat.zf-trading.com/index.asp?LKZ=D&PKW=1&SPR=4&EINSPNR=32,14,1632,1614

To name a few. Usually those clutch kits will not be that expensive.

Let us know if you find some more, it would be useful for the other FSI owners.

Looking through the ZF Trading site I found these other model vehicles also used the same clutch kit....

Anyone can possibly check them on ETKA for compatibility please?
