Help Needed-Flywheel and Clutch Replacement Audi A3 2006, Limerick

OnlyGotOneSong

Hi all,

Was just looking to get some feedback from people on how much I could expect to pay for a new Flywheel and clutch on an Audi A3 2006 1.9TDI?

Have been told by a main dealer that the flywheel needs to be changed but Im not paying main dealer prices for the repairs. Am in the Limerick area so if anyone could recommend a reliable mechanic in the area also id appreciate it

€750 should cover it. That would be for Sachs or Luk parts, labour and VAT. Parts included should be:

Dual mass flywheel
Three part clutch kit
New gearbox oil

There are cheap solid flywheel conversion kits available but I wouldn't recommend them to be honest.

Thanks a lot. Appreciate the response. Are you familiar with this work on Audis?

Yes we see them a lot. It isn't just confined to Audi/VW, pretty much every modern diesel car suffers the same problem.

Looking on the bright side the kit is cheap to buy and easy to change in the 1.9TDI 5 speeds so consequently the job is cheaper to do on your car than with most others.

Cheers,do you reckon 750 is probably the best I can be hoping for price wise?

If you source the kit at the right price yourself and get a lad to fit it on a cash/nixer basis you may get it done cheaper but I doubt you will get much change out of €750 if you get a garage to do it and give you an invoice for the work.

Cheers for all the information. Really helpful

No problem at all. How much did the main dealer want for the job, just out of interest?

That's like asking Mr.Kipling if he knows anything about cakes lol

lway

A relative of mine had clutch & flywheel replaced on his Opel Vectra -> €1200
I had them replaced on my Pug 407 -> €1200

I'd be delighted with €750 tbh.

Mine wasn't main dealer, not sure who my relative went to.
