1200 seems a bit steep?
Any advice?

1200 is about right with the dual mass flywheel. That is if they are using vw parts. Spurious clutch and flywheel is cheaper. I didn't have the same symptoms though, when I accelerated the rev's would fly up and there was little/no power going through the wheels.
