Check out Emmanuele Design:Bringing this thread back from the dead. Does anyone know if there is a US distributor for these yet? I think Kerma TDI might have had them at one point (I have no idea if the GTI/GLI has the same trans as the TDI) but they appear to be out of stock. http://www.kermatdi.com/sachs-sre-clutch-flywheel-kit-for-02q-6-speed-manual/
Yeah, they're a tiny big more expensive and it doesn't say that it includes a TOB. Honestly with the Euro/dollar exchange rate being more favorable now it may just end up being cheaper to ship overseas.

I just got the stage 2 kit a couple of weeks ago from Emmanuele. It didn't come with the TOB but I asked about it and they sent me a link for everything, including the TOB and flywheel bolts. The clutch was shipped directly to me from Germany and arrived much faster than I would have expected. The TOB and bolts came from Emmanuele a couple of days later from California.
One thing to note, Emmanuele sent the 2 piece TOB so I went to a local dealer and picked up the cast one to have installed. Unfortunately (and partially my fault), I left both in the car at the installer and even though I had all the correct parts together in the rear hatch and showed them before the install, they grabbed the 2 piece TOB sitting up front that I was planning to return and installed that instead.
Emmanuele and the shop both said they haven't seen issues with the 2 piece TOB so hopefully mine holds up for as long as I have the car or decide to have a LSD installed, but it might be worth the effort to purchase the one-piece TOB separately. Overall, I am very happy with Emmanuele and would happily buy from them again. I can't blame them for the TOB mix up.
My TOB is making a scream when cold so this is getting replaced soon. I want to buy a SACHS kit but I'm not sure what to do.
Car is 2009 GTi with 58k miles
Do I A: buy just clutch and plate (£630 inc TOB)
B: buy clutch, plate and new OEM DMF (£930 inc TOB)
C: buy full clutch plate and single mass (£1230 inc TOB)
Those prices DON'T include labour (Not sure what it'll cost), so that's a thing
wat do guys, wat do!
58k miles is a hit or miss for flywheels. Your flywheel may be good or may be bad at that point. In the UK theres a pretty cool company that can help you out.
